What Happen to Old Generations?
« 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?

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 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.

I'd like to have met infinteinertia the most probably.
Sage, didn't you say in the II AI pack thread that he'd return if roboman and lra2 were banned?

ARC guys like gemini are still around, I know them on ARC.
