Have most of the forum members dissappeared?

[Peter]

I would feel the same as Ryu, only without so much bias and maybe a little bit more fondness for the old days. The 1 reason for that is simply because some of us were still heavily discussing Shenmue and the future of Shenmue etc, that there were some awesome conversations, research, modding and hacking going on that it only added to the appetite for Shenmue III. Incidently adding to this was that there was a high chance of Shenmue III at that time, with Shenmue IIx being released, Microsoft quietly announcing that Shenmue III would be coming,and the Kizko article etc.
Some people dont like them days as much as me, and thats fine. But back then i stayed out of the aguents and politics. I turned down a mod post back then because i really just wanted to say Shenmue focused and not be dragged into, what was back then, a huge dictatorship with too many chiefs and not enough indians. In this day and age though, from a Shenmue standpoint, these forums have dropped in the levels of discussion, but that has balanced out with the increase of general gaming and life discussions that we really do have the best of both worlds here right now. The forums are excellent, being ran excellently, have an appeal to new members and also have a collection of great people i can be privelidged to call friends that visit here on a daily basis.

i've been here 8 years now, seen many people come and go over the years. hell, i used to post on the dojo on a daily basis, now i lurk every now and then and if i see something worth posting in i MIGHT take the time to log in and post it. although, for some reason, i've found myself doing this a little more lately.

Its nice to see you drop by even if its just for a post or two every now and then.

Evidently, I found this noteworthy enough to login and reply to.

I visit several times a week but don't always log in depending on my mood or how busy I am. Or if I might have something to add to a discussion. But in any case I keep a close eye ;)

I just remembered another old member I would like to see back. Joe M Design

Most of the people in this topic have disappeared.

[Bluecast]

Most the people in this topic are active or semi active. Some I know pop in every so often and go away and repeat for the last however the hell long they have been a member.

[Sailors?]

True it's just hard to keep track of who posts and who doesn't, especially since I don't venture into some parts of the forums.

I remember the days when everyone was fighting to have the biggest post count/epeen under their names, and thus we had to take away posts counting towards your post count in junk, and then we ultimately removed it from underneath the names all together.

Yama removed it. Not because of fighting. just his philosophy and one I agree with. it doesn't matter.

If there were to be fighting over who has a bigger count. Kenny is in a distant second place and in 3rd OL.
If you average out per year who has the most. I post 3500 times a year on average and Segata is second with 3200.

[Spokane]

On urban dictionary someone defined I think it was loser or virgin or something like that as someone who has 5000 posts or more on a forum. Asshole.

[Samanosuke Akechi]

Really wonder what Andy and Csmakio are up to nowadays.I believe them 2 and Iwao had a pretty big counter strike clan going on way back when.Would be nice to hear from them.

That signature was quite memorable. I immediately recognize it to this day
