Title: What Happen to Old Generations?
Post by: MassimoV on November 30, 2010, 06:27:16 PM
I was lurking through the wiki and nticed some members I haven't heard of like Towerboy, Da Stompa, HX, etc. After reading the pages. One question stuck to me:  Why did the old forums die? There were so many members and so many ideas. It should not have died out. Could someone help me with this question?

Cause people got bored, went to college, lost the game, etc.

It's too bad. I wanted to meet some legends. Besides the ones still active :heart_smiley:.

Well, Inf may return someday...

Effe's still around (founder of the Effe glitch) but havent seen him post here in a while.
Pysc strolls on sometimes, but not much anymore.
Older legends are longgg gone (cept for ACAMS of course)

Personally, I want to meet Rejected, see what he thinks of the modern designs.

I would like to meet Perry. Wasn't he like a founder of the stock game? I wonder if he could show us where the .exe code is.

I guess life just got in the way. It's a shame, though, 'cause I'm sure they probably still had some great ideas in their heads.

I would want to meet Korium9. And Rejected as well.

Oh, and Darkrat should come back.

EDIT: Would be funny if an oldtimer posted in this thread... and no, not one of these that post regularly on the forum.

Was Da Stomp the person who was banned and came back as TDS? I read that on the wiki.

Was the first generation around before the game was out? Should there be negative generations because this all started at the battlebot boards. Then the trolls like shizzy_off_the_Nizzy went to town. Those forums died and ARC came around leading into these forums.

Actually, we all started out at Robot Arena 1 boards.
ARC was one of the RA2 forums that kinda branched off the official and Aceuplink

Yea, it would be pretty cool if I could meet Armadillo from the old RA2 forums.
.......... OH WAIT
*shot*

@Spy: Yea, that fateful day when we all wanted to fave fun on the RA2 forums, but suddenly we couldn't.
Lots of members were lost during the cold war, but a few of us managed to survive.
Heck, even today a few of us seem to "wander back" to the original base-camp.
.... Yea I'm trying too hard to make it seem interesting.

What really sucked was that I lost a ton of the comments i made about most of the moderators on there, like Goose and Click and ACAMS .......

Hmmmmmmmm ........ maybe that wasn't such a bad thing, after all ......
