When nforums was gone? And how did you find you way back?

I posted on some other board...then by sheer lucky i accidently clicked my old bookmark and the page actually loaded.

pretty much the same thing.

i generally checked the link out every few weeks and one day to my suprise......there was a link to a temp board and I was happy as shit.

i think that was about 2 weeks ago.

well....I didnt do anything really.. tongue.gif
The first 2-3 months i keept checking back everyonce in awhile, but i was one of the ones who went to the IRC chat room, and knew what had happend..so i wasnt expecting it to come back

I finally found my way here through Bloodshot, she told me about it like Right after she found out. and ive been here ever since biggrin.gif
Songi
well basicly looked for other places to try and fill the gap. didn't work too well. I missed yea all. don't you guys ever leave me again.

then when the e-mails went out informing people of the temp board, well i was there tongue.gif

After months of checking the site, I did a Google search for nForums in case we had moved to another location, and it came up with a completely different and unrelated forum. Slace was there, and still had a link to the old nForums url in his sig (which is how google caught it). So I PM'd him to ask if there was any news about nFm reappearing, and he gave me the link to the temp boards. cool.gif

I checked irc like a few days after we went down and ^ATOMIC^ told me a new site was being worked on. A few weeks later I got the link biggrin.gif

I did what I always do... nothing at all. biggrin.gif It wasn't until early January (the temp. board went up in December?) that Kilroy and Bloodshot informed me of the temp. board. I nearly died for those few months with the forum.

My name is TWINE and I am a forum junkie.

My experience was similar to spectrum - I kept checking the link every few weeks or so and one day "voila" there was a link to the temp board - and the rest is history smile.gif

I waited, and waited on IRC for nFm to come back, until I decided to resurrect it myself (with the invaluable help of Wizz and DK). smile.gif

Streetwise
I was fooling around with videos and encoding. Even became a member of cdr/dvd forums which I don't regret. Then I went to IRC which I hardly ever did (I don't know what mysterious power took me there biggrin.gif ) and I read thet nfm was back online.
Awai

Kilroy
I just played alot of games I never had time to try.

I kept in touch with Krip and Atomic after it went down. Atomic kept me informed about the progress of the site and everything while I was brainstorming some other project ideas with krip.

The day Krips new site was supposed to go online was the last day i talked to him, and I finally got to start on my projects. (Im am so freaking busy now its unreal) And then finally Atomic said here is the site.


Now im back, getting in the groove, now is time to start some havock.

I kept myself busy as moderator on a car forum, but I found myself spending a LOT less time online ... there was just no appeal to the net anymore. I would have some good conversations on our car forum, but nothing like the witty banter here. I also tried looking at BM's artwork on "phorm" to see if he'd completed anything new - but it just kept coming up with a directory (empty) sad.gif
I had a quick chat with Wizz on IRC shortly after the board was taken down, he explained what happened and said to keep coming into IRC and things may happen .... when I thought nForums was gone forever I almost shed a tear.
I was lucky to be offered a new job, so I quit my old job and haven't looked back. I've been quite busy, but I love it! cool.gif
