I was browsing around my old bookmarks, and getting rid of some of the ancient ones when I came across a link for this message board.
I\'m amazed this place is still up and running, and it seems like only the regulars of yore are the active members.
Is it only a matter of time until this place goes extinct? :(
-
They day this place dies is the day samwise turns straight.

west west ya\'ll
Pretty soon my post will make absolutely no sense at all. It will eventually resemble some 4 year old freaking out and hitting his head on the keyboard.
-
thee only way this site will go down is if it is outsourced...or bought out by a bigger message board...:p...and bjorn is not about to let that happen...:fro:
-
I dunno, unless everyone decides to piss off at once, or if the gaffer decides to shut up shop completely, I think this place will plod on.
As long as there\'s a core of (regular posting) members who stay around, it should get by. As time goes on though, less and less new people will probably join, which to be honest, is what\'s already happening.
I think it\'s just us regulars that are keeping it\'s head above water now.
I\'d hate to see what happened elsewhere on another forum I used to visit, see happen here.
The lack of a main website stopped a lot of new visitors coming in, and a few members decided that they would try to make a new website and forum.
Instead of getting everything up and running first, they posted a link to the new forum, and and boasted that there would be a new site coming to support it.
Naturally, everyone jumped ship at the hollow promise of a website, the promise of which is still undelivered, some 10 weeks or so after they broke the news.
I got the impression that there were 1 or 2 members who craved positions of power, and decided to go alone.
In the end, they leeched the existing member base away with a promise, and the forums they now have, are virtually identical to the ones they left, the majority of the memberbase is the same as the old forums, and are far from what I\'d class as a bustling community.
I\'d hate to see that done here, this place does have a rather unique character, with members to match. Even if the members did leave and go somewhere else, it just wouldn\'t have quite that same atmos.
-
Well put Cer. There is just a closeness I get here that I don\'t get at any other message boards. We\'ve all been posting as regulars for some of us almost a decade (well in like 3 years). I\'ve been posting here almost every day for 5 years now. We are a community and it would be sad for me to see this board go under. I\'m just taking it all in now because its only a matter of time. I don\'t think I\'ll see too many more anniversaries to this board before things change.
-
I would hate to see this message board go the way of the n64cc ones. They were so active, then just sort of sputtered along and died and were brought back and then died again.
I think this place doesn\'t have the same sort of problems with that maturity levels of the members though.
-
n64cc died cause of that guy, Viper i think, hacking the forums a bunch of times.
-
I agree with the maturity level thing. People here are a little older. I get along with psx2central kids better than I did at the code center.
I had a good time with that site, though.

Cerby, I could watch your avvy for hours and hours.

Damn, I\'ve almost been registered here for 6 years. Lurked before that... almost brings a tear to my eye... except... that would be GHEY. :D

We may be physically mature, but we still act like a bunch of horny teens at times :p

Mature? What the hell does that mean?

Well when you parade around with them hanging out of your pants like that you are just asking for it.

THOSE ARE HIS BALLS!?!?!?!
I thought those were dead hamsters.

I am the president (and lifetime member) of the Free Ballers club. Not to be confused with the Free Masons (which has never happened) club.

Trust me, as strange as it sounds, this group is so much more mature, it\'s not even close :p. Sorry to let you down.

N64CC died because because i left
don\'t kid yourselves
and viper didnt "hack" shit
jaym left a copy of his ICQ logs out on a public share and it had the admin login info in it.
if psx3central.com was an available domain, i\'d make the changeover right away.
but it\'s not, bjorn and I are rather busy to make the push towards anything else for right now.
if you have ideas aside from how to describe your gonads, we\'re open to suggestions.
-
n64cc died cause you banned the one man show himself, me!
-
Couple points:
1. If psx3central.com isn\'t available, then how come I am able to register it?
2. Of course Viper never hacked shit. If there was ever anyone in the history of the internet more full of shit than that kid, I haven\'t met him.
3. And yes, it died in part because you, and the other people who ran the site left. That meant that when the forums did get screwed with, as they did very frequently, there was no one to clean up the mess.

If you get it, I wouldn\'t mind working with you guys on it. I\'ve got a lot of free time on my hands (and Dreamweaver if I don\'t feel too lazy to install it) so I can do work on the site. My AIMs in my profile and my email address might possibly be up to date.
-
holding you to that
-
I\'ve got a penny I can contribute
-
I\'m sure a lot of us wouldn\'t mind contributing, especially to get it off the ground. The new site doing well will only benefit us all.
I\'m certainly willing to help as well, if you need anything.
-
hurry up and nab that shiz mm, I was about to get it to be safe but I\'m too lazy to find my godaddy login # =P
-
The only thing I\'m afraid of is getting a bunch of n00b trolls that will end up ruining this forums identity and closeness. That is why I call for a section of the PS3 boards to be open only to PSX2Central members :) This way the rape and homosexuality can continue without being judged :D
-
there will be a veteran boards
(i may even relax the rules a bit on it too if i feel so inclined)

Well we all are pretty much over 18 and mature. Maybe relax enough where we can post nudy pics? ;)
