I remember plenty of times coming to the site back then. And the Forums and the front page would be 404'd.

Who knows if the Namco Portable will ever become a reality? :P

I even left the forums for more than a week because I was discouraged to go because of the patience required to move around.

I haven't noticed any sort of change at all. Maybe something with your internet connection?

Why, back in MY day, on a good day, I could download a song in half an hour. Why, back in MY day, if you picked up the phone, the internet cut out, and the download was ruined. Back in MY day, you couldn't just pick up where you left off, either, you had to start from the beginning of the download again...

Back in my day we had winmx. parents would get pissed if i let the internet running all night because we only had one phone line. Installing duke 3d took up half the hard drive and flash sites took an hour to load on a good day.

It is not junk! It is assorted goods with no current use.

On the topic of site issues, the forums don't seem to keep me logged in like they're supposed to. And yes, I did make sure to click the box that says "Log me in automatically each visit."

It's doing pretty well, comparatively. It had better for the cost of the server!

SS, you should know that. :P (But this is mainly for all the '08-ers in here, who have only seen the fast dedicated box.)
Yeah, I remember those days!

Of course, I wasn't serious, as that would make no sense at all. :lol:
