It's no secret that cable TV is not as popular as it used to be, with more and more people "cord cutting" as the years go on, with all these streaming services out now. But do you still use cable or not?

I do. I have cable as part of my internet deal, and I prefer not to be subscribed to a bunch of streaming services. Watching cable also brings back memories for me. I guess I'm kind of old-school like that.

I don't have any tattoos or piercings, nor want any. Having ink injected into my skin or having metal stuck through my skin just isn't my thing.

Woah, basically this thread is the entire OT thread and only 160ish replies in a year.

Crazy to think how much this place has changed in the last 20 years and that it is actually still around!

I'm hoping one day everyone pops back in for the old times and we have some fun chatting :P

I'm here now. That would be nice, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high. Unfortunately, the glory days of GS are long gone. The 2013 redesign seems to have killed it in the long run.

Well, I think this is the first time I visit this site for a year, I believe! I'm not too much into gaming anymore, but GS helped me grow up a lot as a person! So I appreciate it, and yes, those years were great times! Addicted, but great! I hope everybody is doing well!

According to your post history, it's your first post in 4 years. I assume you got the ping from email here?

So, what are you doing on the internet these days?

Well, a huge chunk was taken out of his post count as well. Probably because his whole UCB was deleted, even before the site redesign.

What do you mean you pinged my message? I'm not familiar with this.

He had a private board, which was what you could make as a paid member back then.

You could change the settings and make it available to friends or simply not tell anyone at all.

He made one and had another user come in there with him. I'm guessing fastest really wanted to be at the top of everything. So they decided to spam in there, literally posting thousands of messages that made no sense and warranted no discussion at all. This was most likely the plan to reach a number no one could beat.

So when you do the @usernamehere

It will send a message in the email for that person and show here

Yeah, I remember that. I was briefly a paid member too, so I had my own UCB, but it was hardly used.

I know about the notification thing too. I was confused when you said you pinged my message.

I'm still here. Sometimes I do wish all the old friends/people I met would stop by.

It was fun chatting and getting to know you all. You guys really helped cheer me up and give me something to look forward to all those years. I won't lie, life was rough. But well that could be said for a lot of people.

I do wonder how everyone has been and it's nice to see that you're still around and remember us all.

Speaking of Fastest, had he just done what he did normally, he would have been fine and could have eventually taken the lead.

He got obsessed, along with another person.

That said I pinged your message a bunch of times xD I hope the others see it and eventually stop by here.

It would be nice to come back together after all these years. Even if it's just to say Hi.

@horgen: Yeah, I remember fastesttruck spammed thousands of posts on his UCB to stay on top of the top posters list. I believe this is what lead to his ban.

@leon2365: Perhaps we can start posting here more again. Just don't expect a lot of activity. I think anyone is OT would rather just stay there. And I've been fine.

@ArmoredCore55: Yeah, I seen you're still around some. I wish GS would have never done that whole redesign, but I know it kind of had to be done.

It has indeed been years since I was last on this site. Once union's went away, the site lost its charm as a place to chat for me really.

Nowadays I occasionally read a review here but I honestly don't visit this site anymore.

I'd say about 95% of my memories on this site have been forgotten tbh.

So much has changed since I've been here. But I am indeed still alive.

And got 4 notifications as well haha

I assume you gotten those notifications through your email?

But yeah, like I said, unions were what made this place unique. Now, it's just another gaming site. The only reason I come on this site at all anymore is the nostalgic memories. I'm glad to here you're still around though.

@TAMKFan: Two notifications? I got 4. :P

I am afraid that I do mix up this union and those who used to post on @double_decker UCB which was also quite active when this union was active. Apologies if something I post when it comes to memories from here isn't actually from here. Some of the same users as well.

@nikkycat used to go by a different username, right?

SilentExistence had a red avatar, right?

Fun times withthis board. It started in 2006 or so? I think I joined this board somewhat in 2008 or 2009. Top posters list is bonkers wrong though.

I edited my post a few times. Maybe that has something to do with it?

I recall being on the UCB for a while, but then he deleted it or something.

Oh yeah, I probably should have mentioned @nikkycat, but yeah, she was CuteKitten or something. I haven't heard from her in years either.

SilentExistence had an Alucard avatar and a few others. You could be thinking of the Alucard one.

I think it started in 2007. And yeah, the top posters only describes those who have posted here since the site redesign.
