Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on October 23, 2004, 01:37:49 pm The forum is so dead! I remeber a time when there were so many posts that the flood control had valid use. I remember a 500 post thread completely in l33t. I remember people actually talking. I remember Ye Olde Chat.
Why is our community so dead? This was one of my few sources of entertainment each day! I will mourn for YoB, but I will also continue to post on her corpse! Resusitate our forgotten boards!

Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Patrel on November 14, 2004, 06:18:21 pm I only stop by here weekly. And not being a programmer makes me stay pretty silent, lol.
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on November 14, 2004, 09:14:03 pm Actually, programming isn't mandatory for talking a lot. In fact I've programmed far less than I should or wanted ;).
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Seanikins on November 15, 2004, 05:20:43 pm i guess there could be alot of theories as to why YoBlah has fallen silent :(
to be honest i mostly troll instead of post now-a-days..im here all the time..just runnnin' out of ideas for topics of discussion :( should pickup sooner or later after a hiatus :D keep the faith Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Patrel on November 16, 2004, 07:24:04 pm Well I am looking for a project to work on. However I'm useless for programing as I said, so I guess that limits my usefulness. But I'm up for playing thru games and researching statistical data, or whatever other menial help I could be. Story writing, developing game mechanics, etc.
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Zylokh on November 17, 2004, 08:57:39 am Well there are lots of projects to work on...
I think it even is good to not being a programmer, as each project probably has enough of these resources. Probably a good thing could be to try the various demos up on the shining source, and see if one seems interesting enough for you to work on. Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on November 17, 2004, 03:36:11 pm Yup, and if none of them interest you at all, another option could be to make some TRAP resources :).
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Patrel on November 18, 2004, 06:49:17 pm Whatever became of the project to remake FC so that it was playable in English? Didn't someone atleast start one? I thought I remembered this from atleast a year ago...
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Edgemaster on November 18, 2004, 08:10:12 pm That project was threatened with the axe...i think there was a lack of support for graphics ripping etc. I remember the news update on tss pleading for support. I'm not sure what happened in the end.
I'll be starting a shining project....probably after i graduate in 2007 :/ However, i shall still post here. I have posted a fair bit in the last few days. Think i killed a few topics as well :P Apologies! Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Tomahawk on November 20, 2004, 11:46:51 pm Well, I first arrived here because the WolfPack forums were hosted here... after two sets or so, WolfPack quit but I've just stuck around since :).
I was dragged into Hattrick by you guys, and I don't know beans about programming or Shining Force so most of the side boards are of no use to me... I still visit every few days to see if there's any new interesting topics. Maybe we could discuss current events more in General Talk? Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on November 21, 2004, 11:56:59 am That wouldn't be a bad idea :D.
Also, perhaps I should dump that pink-yellow-brown layout ;). Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Tomahawk on November 22, 2004, 06:18:36 pm That might help... maybe we're scaring people away with these colors :).
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on November 23, 2004, 11:46:23 am There, it's gone. Everyone should have the Odyssey layout now :).
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Zylokh on November 23, 2004, 12:58:28 pm It's really awful...
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Ty on November 23, 2004, 01:01:36 pm Thanks for the support.
If I get time this week I'll work on a new skin that matches the rest of the site. Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Ok So It Was Me on November 23, 2004, 01:35:48 pm I think this one is the uggliest sofar
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on November 23, 2004, 01:55:38 pm It's uglier than the pink & brown? O_O
Ah well, seems like Ty is going to help it already... Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Newts on November 23, 2004, 02:22:27 pm I actually quite like it, although it'd be better with some pink, brown and yellow ;)
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: bEn on November 23, 2004, 09:47:19 pm BTW what happend to the QuickReply Box? Will it ever return? Next to that - Why did you dump the "traditional" green layout?
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Edgemaster on November 23, 2004, 10:49:34 pm TRADITIONAL green?! That was only a temporary mad phase :P The traditional YoB was always blue (back in the days of ikonboard).
I like this new skin, muchly infact. All it needs is maybe a bouncing ball or too here and there. Title: Why is this place dead?

We didn't deliberately dump it. It was lost when the server abandoned us and we hadn't got a backup of it :/. Title: Why is this place dead?

I like this new skin, muchly infact. All it needs is maybe a bouncing ball or too here and there. Nothing against the new skin it's just that the green stayed for quite some time ... I felt used to it ;-) Anyway things are ment to change .. :D About Quickreplay box - well you can't reinstall it (version issues,..?) or is it just a "not yet maybe later" thingy? Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Ty on November 24, 2004, 11:00:40 am It's a "can't be arsed" issue.
I'll try and get it done by the end of the week, along with a nice skin so everyone will be happy. Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Tomahawk on November 27, 2004, 12:52:36 am The Hattrick grass-green was nice... :)
This one is pretty decent too though. Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Paul on November 28, 2004, 04:18:00 am To answer your question Dev.
Certain members just went away and/or stopped posting. Heck, the good old days..... Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Ok So It Was Me on November 28, 2004, 11:02:32 am Yeah, wel all miss Saiyanora :-/
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Mage of Blackest Night on November 28, 2004, 08:42:03 pm Paul, they're actually just making fun of a thread I posted.
And to answer the question, in an ironic sense, It's because these are the only kind of threads that show up here any more. Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Seanikins on November 29, 2004, 09:24:20 pm i tried an image search thing but everyone didnt bite :P
last year i think it was Paul to give me that bad-ass chinese dragon to etch. i need something else :( i no longer care about copywrites or anything..just need something!!! :( Title: Why is this place dead?

Nice to see you around now regardless :). How are things going there? This thread was part of a gag a while ago, but I guess it was given a life of its own now :P. Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Sir Phill on December 03, 2004, 12:20:14 am I love the new theme reminds me of the old days when i first joined....
Damn i need to post more Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Ok So It Was Me on December 03, 2004, 01:09:07 am No, you should post more content, not more posts

Heck, the good old days..... And to think you only live two flats away from me, and we've only met once at Pinkpop... kinda strange, in a way :). Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on December 03, 2004, 11:14:42 pm You two only met once?? O_O
Whoa! I thought you guys used to be good friends and all :oops: Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Tomahawk on December 04, 2004, 04:09:27 pm No... we used to talk a lot while Paul was on night shifts though, on ICQ.
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on December 04, 2004, 04:10:29 pm Doesn't he have any night shifts anymore then?
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Tomahawk on December 04, 2004, 04:13:42 pm No clue... I haven't seen him on ICQ in a long time, maybe he's sworn that off? Maybe the boss man didn't like him ICQ-ing at night?
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on December 04, 2004, 04:17:23 pm Does he have access to any media at all? I lately noticed that I have no way whatsoever to contact him, other than perhaps a PM through the forum here which he probably reads twice a year. :cry:
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Tomahawk on December 04, 2004, 04:20:59 pm I don't know... you know him better than I do. We only met once for a few minutes while standing in line at the camping for Pinkpop (we were supposed to call and he came over to meet me and Timon once) and that's about it. My friend Timon knows him and Wouter better, I met you guys through him... you might know him too, I think he's been at one of your parties.

Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on December 14, 2004, 01:54:02 pm I don't know. I always preferred the Diablo 2 multiplayer. Without the mods ;).
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Saiyanora on December 15, 2004, 01:16:39 pm Your missing out on alot, mods are getting damn advanced.
Title: Why is this place dead? Post by: Devlyn on December 18, 2004, 10:10:39 am Advanced? What should I imagine with that? The Sims in Diablo 2 setting? :P
