Something has been itching me..lately..a lot..

[Igor Hardy]

I don't really know Helm, but I've got into several discussions with him in the comments sections of a few Rock, Paper & Shotgun articles from 2009. Overall, he talked a lot about growing disenchanted with both the adventure games genre and the AGS community, so unless he was in a slump then, he might not be coming back at all.

[Tuomas]

No shit. All I ever heard of him was the comic compo and some swearwords.

I've been a member since 03, I was 14 then and my quality of post shows it. I don't post that much anymore, and I still see myself as a newbie as a lot of the members that were senior members then are still here now.
I still have this website as my homepage on firefox have this website as my homepage on firefox even though I average about 2-3 posts a month, and check it daily. It's just that I often don't have much to say.
A lot of threads are on here, I don't have an opinion on everything

[deFineLicht]

Haha everytime I get the idea to check out how the good ol' Ags-forum is doing there's always a thread like this...

To be honest, I've always hated those type of threads. I don't think there's anything to solve or prove anyway, but well, I ended up making one one way or another. I'm sorry for all this commotion for mostly nothing. Some valid points were heard. And indeed they are true. People can't always be the same person they were when they joined. Hell if you look at my posts back then, my god, am I still the same! But I'm an exception. Now, let's just move on!

The only reason I dislike threads like this is because it makes me feel like a douche bag since I've posted virtually non-stop for the last 7 years

[m0ds]

My 2 cents.

Being an upscale and mature forum we generally expect a nickels worth (5 cents) around here.  

Haha!!

Eh well.
The games have become artsy and weird anyways -- just look at first few pages in Completed Game Announcements forum! For every "normal" game, there's 20 with strange art, content and point. Like not a game but something you see in modern/digital art museum.

Interesting observation really -- have adventure games became a form or art or something? Not that it's bad or anything...

...but still, I want a Ben Jordan sequel!   This stuff doesn't inspire me.

Case 8 or a second movie? Cos it looks likely you'll be getting both this year  

PS. When I die I still expect to make computer games in the afterlife, so no point abandoning it in this one

I dislike those threads because some people just brag about being active... :

[monkey0506]

I've had a few down periods over the last 6 years for various reasons but it seems that I am only 0.006 posts per day behind Darth. What could that possibly mean? :

Edit: Actually with this post it went down to 0.005.

[Darth Mandarb]

I don't think I post a lot ... mostly just lock threads   Either way I certainly wasn't bragging!

I just meant that I have not had any long abscenses since I joined here many winter moons ago.  Typically the reasons people use as to why other people have vanished is because they "got a life" or something along those lines.  So I feel a tad douche-ish because I, apparently, have never gotten a life!  Which is, of course, not true.  I have had several.  I just always lose them.

[xenogia]

I've been around since the start of the ezboard forums, but had forgotten my old user/pass.  I was the elusive MotiveOne.. haha..  I stay for a while, leave for a bit, come back.. etc, etc.  Depends on my creative outbursts really.

Well, look at my post count... and the forum's post statistics.
And I think I'm never too active and don't post a lot...

And spammer of the year award goes to......CJ!!

[ShadeJackrabbit]

Huh, I actually used to post somewhat regularly here. Then I hung around at different forums. Aaaand, now I'm coming back because I can't resist the draw? *shrug*

[Wesray]

This forum is the same as any other - people come and people go as priorities and interests change. Developing AGS-games in particuar is a very time-consuming hobby. It's only natural that some members drop into the background after they've got families and careers.

As a newby myself I love the community (group-hug! ) and found this forum a very welcoming place. I plan to stay, but you never know what the future brings.

[Haddas]

I was a happy young lad when I joined back in 1904. Now I'm nothing but an angry, bitter old man.


But I still like this place.

[DGMacphee]

Hi guys

[Dualnames]

Hey DgMacphee!! WB even for a short while.

[Ali]

I see that tentative welcome back, and raise you a cautious 'hello again'!

[Questionable]

I think I disappeared for like a year or two... Silly "life stuff." =P
