Oh, man. AltimitOS/The World Online and dot.hackers were my first experiences online. My first MMORPG and forum. Great times.
With you on this. Also to an extent the FoH Board. That was my go to Message board before GAF.
THE Gideon Zhi? The girlfriend would explain why he hasn't made any updates in the past year.
Graal Online, made a lot of friends there
The Pojo.com forums still exist somehow, but it looks like the Yu Gi Oh community is the only one that's still around. When I posted there, they had pretty sizable communities for the Pokemon TCG, MTG, and DBZ.
Yep, myresistance.net. This is the site that got me posting in gaming forums. I really loved that place before 2 and before it moved to being a playstation community site.I used to post of the Resistance forums before 2 came out and then for a while after, I think it was called MyResistance
Awesome. He probably has full gray hair by now, considering he was learning/working and then job-hunting (later working 50 hours a week) and looking for an apartment while also doing some hacking in between. As long as he is happy now, it's all good.Yeah Gidz. I've known Nathan online for almost 20 years
He moved to another state and got a good job (finally!). I saw he got a girlfriend a few months ago on Facebook so i figured he's happy enough to stop working so feverishly
A fellow N-Phile. I completely forgot about N-Philes. Who were you on there?N-Philes forum,
Now known as nerdmentality.com
Good times
4chan at 2008, 2012, and 2016 all feel like different websites.
II was also on NSider for a while, though it basically just disappeared one day. It didn't really "die". Nintendo just wanted to retool their website and the forums went with it.
SoGamed was the best community for the competitive Counter-Strike scene back in the day. Just look at this beauty;
Same. Bob and George, Doc Cossack's, Superbeast Lair... you name it. I was known as Freezeman back then.Well, I hate to go there, but...the Mega Man community.
At one time, I was a part of several online forums. I enjoyed talking to the likes of Mandi Paugh (of MMHP.net fame), LBD Nytetran and so many others, especially in early 00's. I even helped with a few fan games and such here and there.
But especially after the brand hasn't had much to show for in the last few years, a lot of my old haunts (especially for those dedicated to EXE and X) have since shuttered, or the forums still exist but nowhere near the thriving hubs they once were.
Considering even the likes of Bob and George were hallmarks of my life during middle and high school, it's just been sad to see what's happened since.
