When in the Course of a websites events...

I agree that the spculation and youth of it is gone, but, I do know, any other ideas?

A lot of it is just the coming and going of members. A lot of the people from NDose or the beginning days of GT have left or don't post as much.

And I think we've become bigger in the sense of number of currently active members, which means that's there's a lot less sense of a community as a whole. Back when I first joined NDose, there was a big "anti-n00b" thing going on in the entire forum. Nearly everybody participated (that I could see from my then n00b-ish viewpoint). We don't have anything like that anymore. Its more like a conglomeration (is that right?) of sub-groups made of people who have come from different forums who have shut down or people who know each other in real life (not dissing you, just a fact). Then of course there are the veteran members who have been here from the early days of GT and some even from NDose.

The best analogoy that I can think of is a classroom and grade in elementary school. In elementary school, most people in one classroom get to know each other fairly well. They may not like all of the other people, but they're more or less comfortable with them. GT used to be like a classroom. There were few enough members that most members knew most other members fairly well.

Then you have the whole grade. A person in, say, 1st grade probably does not know everybody else in 1st grade, at least not very well. He/she may be able to recognize a few people and may be friends with a few people from different classrooms, but mostly his/her social interaction is contained in that one classroom (excepting recess). GT is now more like a grade. One member really only knows a few other members and probably only really socializes with that few, excepting things like Survivor or the character battles that encompass everyone.

I know it not very good, and I apologize if it didn't make sense. If someone understood it and think they can do better, you probably can...

I know what you mean, I remember the days of back then. Man were those the days....


Perhaps we could change the Black Project Forum into the "Anti-N00b Society" to commemorate all us old farts.

[GameMaster]

I second that notion! Let us make it exclusive to people who joined 2001 or earlier.

[Blackmane]

And we can start selling newb shotties again! I've always wanted to point one of those at someone!

Funny you say though, because I only got access to this forum about a week ago, even though I'm an old-head.

Lol. I just gained access here. But I like it here. I got here because of Dyne.

We used to be a part of a forum called Electronic Gaming World. It was great. It was at the point where all the VB2 hacks were coming out. We had an arcade and all sorts of cool things. But some guy had a vendetta against Dyne (Who was an admin) and he got the site shut down. We tried to regroup our members but sadly lost quite a few of our most beloved members forever. Our attempts had failed and we all lost touch with eachother. Now It's just Dyne and I that are regular posters here with the odd post from Nemesis (who used to be called Blix).

But I have to say I'm enjoying your company and I'm glad Dyne hooked me up with Crono and DarkMaster who turned me on to this website. (Back when GamingNow was still functional.)

Here's to more good times!

I was one of the original writers of GamingNow. I posted more news than any other writer. I kept posting up till the final days. There were these "plans" for a bigger and better site to launch. I wrote countless news articles, and countless reviews, and even an editorial for the site. But the new site never came, and when I realized I was the only News writer actually posting news, I quite.

So there you go.
