I used to post here years ago and while I continued to use the site, sort of lost interest in posting on here due to very odd circumstances. In any case, I have a renewed interest in posting here. I doubt I'll remember anyone I used to talk to regularly, especially since everyone seems to be changing their names every five minutes, so I'll keep my old name and avatar (Though I plan to update to my current online handle eventually, I no longer go by this one anywhere else).

 

I think I was most remembered for my long-winded, rambling posts? Well, I guess that's coming back now. So, yes, greetings.

 

EDIT: Also, this place has really changed since I last came here. What's new since early 2008, which I believe was the last time I visited?

Doing better then me haha. I remember talking in one topic come to find out that was back in 06 though I do have some relatively recent posts 2011 lol.

[Silenced Gamer]

Ah, interesting. My most recent post is most likely from 2007, but I wouldn't know since it wouldn't show me anything at all! Which I suppose implies whatever posts I made have long since disappeared.

Probably in the archives lol.

No probably actually deleted .... if a topic doesn't get posted in for a while it goes to the Dump ... after a certain period it is then deleted ....

This whole place has really died down since last time I was here. There was a point I'd visit this place and there'd constantly be 400-500 people online at any time of day or night. What exactly happened? Did the nature of the way this site operates change? Did it become more difficult to sign up? Spambot attack? Closed down for a long period of time?

 

Or maybe I'm remembering the way it was years ago too differently. It just feels like there's so much less people to talk to.

Naw, the emulation scene has long slowed down.

Unfortunately, as you saw, the site ain't striving as well as it used to since there's so many alternate rom download sites available also.

 

The only thing we're good for is to have working roms you can trust, but the whole DP system and needing to register to download and earn the downloads kinda turned people away from here.

A small regular users live in the Spam Center, but beware, we're kinda direct and straightforward (me being one of them also )

 

Roms updates have been slowed down since the DS scene is pretty much done, and the 3DS still has no proper interest...

So in the meanwhile, I'm keeping it going with a radio for people to stream music 'n download the albums with GPs.

 

Enjoy your return, though don't expect many posts per day as it used to.

Ah, I see. I suppose that's a reasonable explanation, though makes me feel as if I've walked into Roanoke Island if it was combined with a less radiated Chernobyl.

 

In any case, I'd hope the site returns to having that many people on it as it used to. I remember the first time I came here and made a Hello topic and it got way more replies than this in much less time. I guess it's to be expected for a website of this nature though. I'm glad it's still around at all considering the fates of other sites like this.
