That's actually a little awkward, considering how old a lot of us were then. :oops:

There used to be a "Phoenix" style (the default dark style is called "Dragon"), which was brighter, but checking the User Contol Panel, it looks like the Phoenix style may have disappeared? There weren't many members that used it, to be honest.

I'll see what I can do, not for your unknown donation, but for the good of your health. :P

I commented and said without the Dojo there would have been NO Shenmue 500k and I won't let you bash the Dojo, the longest running website. I myself felt compelled to defend this place.

They may have been right to some degree, at some point in time. The Dojo has long since switched owners, mods and a lot of members though. The good ones stayed, for the most part. I'd just say that, not that we're dying for a boost in traffic anymore or anything. lol

We are a bunch of rude motherfuckers. It was worse a couple years ago, but few of us regulars are still acutely sarcastic.

It's crazy what's going on here. I expected this for a Shenmue III announcement but I'm still shocked.
After the initial few hours after the Kickstarter reveal I simply gave up on reading everything here and then I took some distance to get some breathing room.

I hate to have let so much good posts go but it became virtually impossible to keep up with it, unless you'll do nothing but read the forums here.

Right now it is pretty awake lol. 454 users online, 80 registered. This is about a week and a half after the announcement of Shenmue 3. Nice to see so many new and old members returning, as well as lurkers.

It is still tough to keep up with everthing that is posted here. Makes me happy to see the place so active but it's also really demanding, after being used to the about 10 posts a day for so long. :lol:
