GOOSE it's good to see you friend!
I assure you I have no grudge, I did however read some of the former postings on the RSF forums about a year after AU went down in flames, those guys were not fans of myself nor ANY of the staff @ AU. Whatever, it's history now... I didn't come here to start a fight or whatever, to tell you the truth Jeffery's post actually made me giggle a bit. Truth of the matter was that AU actually enforced rules and kept order, something that Justin's forum did not, thus it was a safe haven for anyone that felt "wronged" by AU. Furthermore the only real gripe I had w/ Justin and the funky bunch was when they bombed my cellphone w/ 500+ text messages via AIM to SMS and caused me a hefty phone bill for the month and when I called their fearless leader at his home he nearly pee'd his pants, is that the RFS you are talking about?
It's funny to me that no1 else really had as much hatred towards AU as them... and all of a sudden after AU was gone after due to numerous back-end attacks diverting traffic to his site (cause there was no other place to go) by RFS goons...
....but I digress.
I really wanted to see where this game was in this day and age, how far the designs have progressed and maybe link up w/ some old friends.
More importantly I'm in the process of recovering my old HD and releasing everything I've built and skinned. Stay tuned maybe it'll be ready this weekend

Using his notoriety, website traffic was successfully diverted to RFSHQ. In the early months of the website's development, articles were written that highlighted "frauds" done by AceUplink staff members. When the community began to pick up, Radio F Software hired a staff comprised entirely of previously banned or disgruntled AceUplink users and began to abuse loopholes in AceUplink's administration system to cause trouble. In 2005 AceUplink tanked, not because of the quiet attacks from RFSHQ, but because of a hosting contract expiration. Because of its size, RFSHQ kept afloat by assimilating smaller websites on the verge of closing. One such site was Robot Arena Reborn which hosted a database full of every modification to date for Robot Arena 2. Once the files traded hands this database became the main attraction of RFSHQ.and then they seized and compiled all the faqs/resources and started to be posted around the web after they were conveniently edited to exclude AU mod/member names. One of the last surviving un-touched faq is at gamefaq, take a look for yourselves.... http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/game/589525.html
