Anyone remember the good ole days on here?
when Darren Wilson was the first to reach something like 3000 posts, and nobody got involved in flame wars?
When your posts got replies to them about once an hour, not once a week?
A lot has changed, mainly since they started charging for the service, and i think its sad.
Still, I do find these forums both informative and entertaining, but jus not as much as i used to :)
Agreed :(
Ugh, when was the there last a flame war?
And if you don't give me a good answer...:flame:
i miss Spaceman Spiff, El Batcho and Bracius. those guys made me laugh
They've all moved on to greener pastures (Spiff to Sowulo's, and the other two to Cobra's).
What’s missing is the constant flow of great questions in the support forums. Some of them used to really make you think, and instilled allot of great dialog to determine a solution. Now, there is maybe a handful a week that really triggers the brain; everything else is trivial, or a resolution is never met because the originator never responds back.
I believe that this is primarily because the site isn’t free any more. Hell, I used the driver support for months, maybe even more than a year before I even ventured into the forums. I don’t think I even realized there was one for most of that time. Had it been a pay site then, I would have moved on the first day. Oh well, I wonder if the site is making money…
I don’t really miss anyone, but that is just because I don’t get attached to online personalities. It isn’t a place for me to make friends. I just like to exchange technical ideas, and theory. It is also a great way to test your knowledge and troubleshooting skills, provided there is a challenge and adequate dialog…
As it stands I spend most of my time in Techville now. That sucks.

aye.
thats it really.
Shortly after the change to pay for content, didn't somebody on here have a sig something to the effect of 'If I wanted to pay for drivers, I'd call a cab'?
Anyway, I did use the drivers search for ages before I noticed the forums.
That was DW, and I think it was "If I wanted to pay for a driver I would hire a chauffeur".Quote:

:D :D :D That's damn clever Cleetus! Too funny! :D :D :D
It isn't as near as slow as it was during the summer.
People have come and gone from here, those who leave will be replaced by others.
While I still hang out here daily, I have started to frequent other forums because there just isn't the volume of posts there used to be. But I always come back...
I think I was involved in a flame war...shell shock fogs the brain, so I don't remember the subject, though...
hire a chauffeur...
genius
I agree, Windrivers forums just aren't the same.
I have checked other places like Sysopt or the Australian website www.tweaktown.com . Lot's of things going on there.
But, I only have time for one which is here.
We all come and go and sometimes just come for a visit or disappear completely from either bad situations or finding a new hobby..
If I recall, D.W. was hanging around here not too long ago.
Cobra, the funky one comes by too. MOO MOO, Aslept, Waywood Clam, Orangewoman, and many others who I haven't mention are always here too.
Without some mainstream forum members hanging around, this place would be very quiet indeed.
I miss monkey spunk/Jungle juice/whatevertheheckhisrealnamewas and all the laughs I had reading the posts bashing him.
Its all cycles.
We change, our interestes change, general populace moves around.
Styles come and go, I've seen windrivers go through quite a few low and high times, along with many other places, as I've sene it in the past. Remember when ICQ was the best thing out? Napster?
Things will slow down, then pick up, and the cycle will repeat.
Heh, I remember being constantly fragged by Tish. (And I miss that!)
Maybe I can reach her and send her the info on that Q3 server my friend hosts...Quote:

Things have changed since i started frequenting this place. I don't find myself posting as much cause i spend a lot of time in the chat and other places, i do pop in from time to time to see what's going on and add my 2 cents
