My brother told me this site used to be super fun. Like, before facebook (I was 8 lol j/k). What happened?

e-sam stopped paying the bill or some shit. I think robots took it over. it was fucking cool. My favorite poster was nostromo.

e-sam sucks now.

Actually I never stopped paying anything. It just sort of evolved. Things were different in 2004.

How old is your brother? And why the heck would he tell you about an adult forum as early as 8 years old? And what year were you 8?

When I first got internet back in 1998, my parents told me to stay away from forums until I became an adult, which I wouldn't be until 2004, and even then I didn't use any until I learned about this site sometime in late 2006 or 2007.

Sam is right. It just evolved...basically into crap. And also bots took it over sometime around 2009, where signing up had to be done through e-mail. Then for some reason sometime in 2014, a redesign was supposed to happen, and it did, but it was created using some other site, and very few people signed up on it. Then some weird glitch happened, and then it was inactive again for most of 2015, until sometime in July of 2016, Sam or someone decided it would be a good idea to start it up again.

Facebook happened, dummies.

We know. Or at least most of us do. Although, I'm trying to figure out why that would kill off forums, because the format of Facebook groups, doesn't lend itself very well to the format of these sites.

I'd heard there was a version in braille. Anybody else hear that?

A version of what in Braile? Seriously, is everybody drunk on here, but I haven't seen ANYBODY have any intelligent conversations like they used to. Most people, except me, are this section of this site too literally and are posting nothing but "bullshit". They are acting like they are on drugs or drunk.

This site used to be great. Jmills stopped paying the bill.

quietman · 2/13/2017 12:32 pm

The BR stopped Rockin'. There was no BRRockin' going on...

Cool! I always thought that was a pretty cool graphic.

retart · 4/10/2017 11:32 am

yea that one was far superior to the retro space man thing

It never quite jived... makes me feel dirty...

Adamn · 4/10/2017 3:31 pm

Haha yeah. I forgot where Brandon and Sam pulled that one from.

retart · 4/17/2017 8:57 am

some where dank and terrible i suppose... I say we start a petition to get back the other design, or at least color scheme.

e-sam · 4/18/2017 9:03 pm

If only we had the time to figure out Boardhost.

BUT ITS ALL OVER MY HEAD, COCHISE!

retart · 4/19/2017 8:33 am

didnt we have some web designers that hung out here? we need to coax them back and have them work it up.

LenAttark · 8/29/2019 7:32 pm

thats does really suck. I went back to visit my sister-inlaw who lives in the area and went down by the old unit and was to the point of when I saw it..

LenAttark · 8/29/2019 11:25 pm

As odd as it may seem, I thought the old modules we more serious and deep.
Right now, Egoboo feels... lackluster and choppy.

I think all of these new menus have something to do with it. The most notable thing that comes to mind right now is the Negatori font. Somehow it just doesnt feel right to me, personally. Maybe we could experiment with some others?

quietman · 9/12/2019 11:49 pm

I agree. Just curious, has there been any recent discussions about lowering the contrast on the site? My screen is, of course, already so dim I can hardly see anything. But the orange tones of this site...the white text accents. It’s toooo loud. Please. shit!

Charlesmus · 8/25/2020 2:17 am

yes they were cliffs old heads. he took them to rpm before i bought them. so w/o ruffling feathers i dont know what happened. i didnt run the car myself but maybe 10 minutes. it does suck for the dude that bought it but i am glad i didnt keep it now. but i told the dude, i didnt know what was wrong with it, so i didnt lie to him.
