Title: Did my DSL showcase get deleted?
Post by: Jules on October 06, 2012, 04:50:49 PM
If so... why?

Yes, sadly it did. I don't know why, a bunch of random threads vanished over a year ago for no apparent reason. It's a shame, there were some great designs in your showcase.

Nice to have you back, though.

ACAMS went through and deleted a few of the dsl showcases i think, not sure why yours was one of them though.

so do you think you'll be staying for a while? we seem to be getting quite a few of the old guys back

Do you have anything left from it on your end? Your showcase was one of the ones I never got the pleasure of looking through.

I think ACAMS deleted it because it had to much swearing or something.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I think I have all my old bots and any pics I took. I'm digging around in my old hard drive right now. If there was a DSL tournament looking for entries that would give me motivation to get back 'into' the game and do some serious bot building.

Hey! Good to see some familiar names.

I don't remember being particularly vulgar lol. Did people start spamming it or something?

I just found my old installation with all my stuff. I'm going to do some building to see if I can get anything worthy of being in one of those tournaments

May have disappearred with one of the forum's recent updates. Too bad because you had pretty awesome bots in there IIRC.

also it's really cool to see old legends come back, and possibly stay.

also Craaig VS Jules gogogogogogo

JULES!

Oh man, without sounding weird, you're like one of my favourite, most inspirational builders. Yeah, I think I'm the guy that took over the whole 'VS guy' post when you left XD
Good to see you around, and look forward to seeing anything new you come up with :D
Title: Re: Did my DSL showcase get deleted?
Post by: Jules on October 06, 2012, 06:28:17 PM
Right on. I'm checking out your showcase right now. Good stuff!

I've got to see what you guys have been building. I'm sure I've fallen behind a whole lot haha

I'm skimming through my huge screenshots folder... some pictures of my designs, some action shots, and even a bunch of multiplayer pics from the old hamachi servers.

It's really changed a lot since BBEANS 4, when I almost beat you (I'll never let it go).

Welcome back ;)

Hey, Jules.

As other's have said, there have been a lot of threads randomly disappear for unknown reasons. It seems your DSL showcase just happens to be one of the casualties.

I still use bastardizations of Mako wedges, by the way. Others seem to have deemed them obsolete.

I'd recommend digging through 123 STW's showcase, as well as The Ounce, Pwnator, Nary, Scrap, Ty4er and Martymidget's showcases for ideas. Nice to have you back.

Thanks guys! I did some building last night... Trying to get a decent lightweight built. I think I'm going to showcase a few later tonight.

I was never too good at light-weights. It's hard for me to get a hard hitting VS that light lol
I'm definitely not short on ideas. I just have to get caught back up on which weapons and wheels are statistically best, etc.

Good! I'm happy to know someone kept them alive haha. What's widely considered the best wedge these days?

Usually metal hinges, but mako wedges are still considered to be good on a slow bot.
