I remember N64UNIVERSE!!! I was but a wee boy though:D. Did they have a message board? I don\'t remember them having one.
BTW, Which N64 Universe? There were a couple.

:)
N64Universe, hehe, that was like August -96 I think :D
That\'s when I got to know your kommunist leader, mm ;)
Been 4 fun but busy years.
Don\'t know how long it will last though. Looks like all is going to hell now :/
More and more gaming networks are going down. Right now we don\'t pay for our massive bandwidth use, if we would have to pay for the bandwidth... :|

thanks, björn, for creating us such a great site.
no, don\'t say eveyrthing\'s going to h3ll...
A long future for this site I can foretell... Few competitors this site has. In sweden do you live Björn? If so that is, neighbours we can call each other...
-
Gohan: Yes, that\'s why I added pop-under ads (they aren\'t supposed to pop up in front, and yeah, I hate those ads too), casue regular banners pay almost nothing now.
Joyda: Yes I live in Sweden :)
Where are you from?
More trouble:

The huge network UGO is lowering payment.

Finland, my neighbour.
May I ask where from Sweden?

Just to let you know, Bjorn, you\'ve done a great job with PS2central. A great community has formed from the forums, and its also a great "one stop news source".
-
I live in Halmstad where study in college.
But right now I\'m in Helsingborg at my parents house.
Living-In-Clip: Thanks :)
-
Hey Björn I\'m from Iceland so I guess I\'m your neighbour too:)
And thanks for creating a great site.I\'ll go click on the pop up thingies and make you some money.

Hi Bjorn. I haven\'t seen you in awhile. You have done an EXCELLENT job and this forum is THE BEST FORUM EVER! You can\'t let it die. You rule man! :D
P.S. You should post more often.
-
We need to give a tribute to Bjorn some day...
-
I agree with Solid snake 88 this place is the best forum on the net.
-
yup, I checked every other forum on the web none as good as this one though.Every forum that is for a certain system there are no fights cause everybody agrees on what the say.This forum has more action and interesting topics unlike dreamcast.com.

Thanks :) I really like this forum too and I love to see that so many people are using it.
mm, Souldgrind, ddaryl, Aaron and future/older mods/admins help out a ton in making it what is is, and of course the users here too :)
About the "You can\'t let it die"
Well, as I said earlier, we are hosted for free right now. So things are kinda cool.
If I were to pay hosting fees for the site then I would be in major trouble since ads are hardly generating the $$ needed to pay for bandwidth. And it looks like the ads will pay even less in the coming months.
gamefan-network/express screwed us royaly and any steady checks hasn\'t come in since May. We were without ads for three months and got new ads up December but checks won\'t be starting to come in until February.
Without $$ I can\'t buy forums like this, pay for hosting when that will need to be paied for. I would like to be able to pay all staff at this site good money for their time in writing articles/reviews/previews etc.
And of course I also want to get paied for all time I put into the site. Right now I work with it for like 3-4 hours/day.
Major things are going down and regular ads are becoming more and more worthless. I expect many sites will go under becuase of no $ to pay for bandwith bills and no $ to pay for staff or for food, rent etc.
For more info check out the news over at penny arcades

Or the other links posted in my first post.
Things are getting ugly :(

Ah man Bjorn, don\'t say that! You\'re killin me man. Besides, I\'m sure that if they did start charging you, some people here would help you out. Right........? Right..........? Hello? I said RIGHT..............? Crap! Good job anyways. Don\'t worry.

i gotta admit..this is the BEST and i do mean the BEST forum i have EVER and i mean EVVVVVVVVERRRRRRRRR been to..ive been the Gamers Lounge and people there are pratically dead now..i got to IGN and that place has gotten out of hands, people spamming, people flaming each other, non stop fighting..this forum ? boy the members are GREAT..no flames, we ALL help each other out, some people too lazy to read PS2 manual..hehehe..you know the usual..but this is the calmest and coolest forum ive been to..all do the Bjorn and i cant forget YOU GUYS !!!!!

I gotta say that I\'ve been to many PS2 sites. I found this site on October last year. Now as I have been a member for over three months I have to say that this IS the best PS2 site around. Here are the reasons:
1. This is the most frequently updated site. Never I have seen so much info come in every day! Now congratulate yourself on this Bjorn; truly great job!
2. This forum. What can I say? Truly great ppl and the voice-chat is nice addition. All the mods are reasonable, and battles between forces can only be fought in this forum :) Also I can\'t tell a rude or annoying member. Not one! So cheer you up ppl. Everyone.
3. This site has the looks. If this site would be a woman, men would drool all over "this site". Just comparing :) But yes, this is really good looking site with easy interface.. I was really shocked when I heard that you there run this site Bjorn! Isn\'t there a team behind this?
4. Good Reviews. YEs, you review a lot and the reviews are good and info-giving. Now congratulate yourself again Bjorn. Truly great job here too!
So overally I\'d give this site 10 stars out of then and two thumbs up. But hey, I\'m not the only one; hasn\'t this site won any awards? Some site said this is the best PS2-site on the .net and they were right too...
-
Ohh Björn your post made me sad:(
Now everytime I go to check the site out I will think "I hope it\'s still up."
Ignorance can sometimes be bliss.
