Because we need a place to reminisce about old times.


Anyone remember the original Pikachu/Spongebob fad?

This is relevant and nostalgic.

Yeah I wouldn't talk if I were you HA

Haha back in 2008 basically it was just Urjak, SB, Nary, SD, R0b0, Phil, Mad, ACAMS, 70 CUDA, Man Manu, Sage and inf and that was about it.

I still have all those saved too. Pretty sure 2008 as a bit more populated. Look at the BBEANS 4 entry list. All were active besides Jules, mjrobots, Seastalker, FB, Botreactor, Silver, and Sammy. Still not huge, but a great bunch of people with a real interest in building. Those were DSL's best days, just look at how original and ranged the bot designs were, while still being quite good.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Then 123 came along and ruined DSL.

Let's see

TRFBD - Madman
Flail Ram - Ty4er
FSnS - Urjak
Popups - Been around since stock

So no I didn't do anything to DSL.  The only thing I did that really stuck was making wedge wider.

And I never preach about efficiency either.  Only Naryar does that.

People left and stop building cuz they grew up and has other things to do besides playing this game.  That's it.

Also, nobody's stopping you from building DSL bots at the level of 3 years ago.  They just gonna suck and get trashed by modern bots.

TBH Nar AI was what pushed DSL building, not 123. I still think its good that we got NAR AI though. It was so much better than the stock DSL bots.

Flail Ram - Ty4er

mikencr did it first...


edit: rest of this post was not meant for this thread...


people act stupid on gtm because they can. they can because there is no sense of respect or authority here. nary destroyed all respect and authority that the mod staff had over the community. he makes an ass out of himself every day with his participacition in stupid threads and how he makes discipline humorous by calling it "smiting and justice fisting" . he  can't keep control over any situation because he isn't respected because he commands respect but he doesn't take gtm the least bit seriously so nobody respects him.

I remember back when Domanating won his first BOTM!

Actually though, I can recall some time when Scrap's avatar was this roaring bear with chainsaws as arms. Anyone know when that was?
