Old Memories

[azo313]

I happened to log on one of my old AIM names and had a little chat with Crash today... which is why I ended up checking out this forum. Too many of these names are all too familiar. While it's been about 5 years since I spoke to most of you, I remember it all too much.

How are you doing friends?

-Aziz

[BlueFire]

I guess I just have two things on my mind

A) Is this legit? :P

B) I doubt many people in this board know/remember you.. yep.

But how are you doing? :]

[Crash]

is legit, I can vouch. It sure does take me back... matter of fact I think I'll post some old memories in this thread.

[Jonbo298]

Aziz Matar? Thats the only Aziz I can remember on GT

Aziz, how could I forget? So many memories. Working together, running competing sites, fighting with you to end up meeting CamFu. Good times.

Have to ask, where are you now?

Still in good ol' Michigan. Not sure for how much longer... I may move around a bit after graduating soon.

[Crash]

'member that time when we were in that fight with those guys on interserver to get the most hits on the stupid list.... what was the name of the site?

[azo313]

NintendoNext?

[Crash]

naw, i remember them though... nintendonext/nation

do you have any old stuff on your harddrive Aziz, ... ya know, from the old days?

[azo313]

No, but I wish I did. All I have is from the Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org) .

[gekko]

Donald Allen, now there's a guy who fell off the face of the Earth. Couldn't pull off Spaceworld, faked a car accident, and then disappeared.

[Crash]

was that your japanese corospondant?

[gekko]

No, Don ran NintendoNext.

[Jason1]

Ah yes Aziz...its good to hear from you again. I cant believe its been that long. Werent you trying to start up another site a year or two ago? I seem to remember getting an email from you awhile back...it was probably longer ago than I think.

[GameMaster]

Someone tried to resurrect Nintendose a year or two ago and I served as a moderator on the forums but then he abruptly shut it all down without so much as a notice.

[Crash]

no resurrection of nintendose allowed~

[The Germanator]

Yeah, i remember good ol' Aziz. Not that well, but I certianly saw you around. Good to see you back around.

[Happydude]

can't say i remember you at all, but welcome back :)

[Dark Samurai]

can't say i remember you at all, but welcome back :)

I'd have to agree, but you sure are welcomed back...

[jeepnut]

I was a newb during your times and so didn't know you really at all, but I have heard the stories and I know your name. Welcome back.

[Joeiss]

The name rings a bell, but I don't think we ever talked. Oh well.

[Crash]

Aziz' legacy was between 1998-2000

so whoever was part of this back then...

[Insane]

Wow, I remember those good ol' days Aziz. I don't think you remember me but I used to be a HUGE fan of nintendolphin.net and nintendose.com. I even created my own nintendo form called nextnintendo with some cheap forum software company and kinda bashed your website (sorry!). :(

However you might remember: my name is Henry Sarat and my alias is Insane (or Insane SyKO) and I used to be a big part of www.vgamin.com and about two years ago launched my own site www.activegaming.net.

It's funny that after going on the Way Back Machine to check out some old site designs (I really was hoping to see NintendoNation's old design before the eFront incident) and I searched google for NintendoNation and Don and threads about you and your site sparked my interest and I checked the web out on you and here we are, after about an hour of searching, I finally found you :D. I should be a criminal investigator or something.

If you have the time Aziz, hit me up on AIM: X Insane SyKO X.

[Crash]

you're an old timer insane... although I dont remember you....

[Insane]

Ya I am, I got involved with the whole web site thing when I was about 13 and now I'm 18, thats 5 years of website management and design experience :)

[Dyne]

Hey, my site used to use vgamin!

Woot.

[GameMaster]

Why don't you guys help redesign GT's homepage. We've been looking for some folks to help us jumpstart the site as a whole and I think you two might just be the missing elements we've been seeking. Just think, if we all worked really hard, we bring GameTavern to the top.

[Teuthida]

Aziz was THE man back in the day...with Crash and Camfu as the mods...daily fights with Y2Kev...good times.


/me was the poster formally known as Monkey, Can Of Dan, Danchastu, etc.

Why yes, he is. I look forward to hearing more about proposition.

[Crash]

[Insane]

There is really no indication in selling out.

[quiet mike]

I guess I should get in here too.
Hey to all that still remember me or about me :confused: and hey Aziz. It's been a long trip huh?

Nintendolphin.net
Nintendodolphin.com
Nintendose.com
Gametavern.com
Gametavern.net

[GameMaster]

Hey, you former moderator! After bouncing between .net. and .com for so many years, maybe they should give .org or .biz a try.

[Crash]

quiet mike, holy crap. that's awesome!

somehow this file got corrupted, but does anyone have the old version of this puppy?

Nintendose was a helluva good time. As was NintendoDolphin.net. Man that was ages ago... good ol' mailbag... haha.
