Bernie's only been absent about a week (before that he was on vacation or something), and galam is sitting right beneath your nose.

Hah, galam "converted" to agent_orange. Never left...

Bernie is back, you missed his recent posts.

Tatsujin has been lost to Facebook where he's a regular in his PCE/TG-16 group.

Turbokon hasn't been gone that long here with his retro-clarity development/Kickstarter. I do see him active a bit more on Facebook though.

Ha ha... Galam was a joke. I reject his new moniker. He will forever live in my mind as Galam. [emoji4]

Bernie came in Paul's PCE bible chatroom recently
Tats has been doing facebook stuff last I knew.

Galam changed his name, I think it's Caitlin Jenn... or something now.

TheClash was on chatbox for a bit a couple weeks ago, so he's still around. 

I haven't seen medicwheat or sarumaru around either, and they were really active for awhile.

I see medicwheat browsing his movie thread, about it.

I reject his new moniker. He will forever live in my mind as Galam. [emoji4]

I concur. ;)

remember soop?

I responded immediately to a post he randomly submitted "recently" (in the last two months?).

It was awesomely, totally random for him to appear like that—I reckon we resurrected an ancient thread he was following and he was alerted via email or something.



I miss ceti on here, but see him on facebook, he has a hot philly now :)

Anyway, I miss ceti, too.

And nat.

He left just before he could surpass as the #1 topic starter so sad

Nando297
Pcenginefx 278
soop 274
guyjin 274

Him and Guyjin were tied atop, than he was overtaken by Nando and MR. FX himself.

tornando still in TX probably not doing sprite work anymore :(
Title: AWOL Members
Post by: esteban on August 11, 2015, 04:58:24 PM
Wait!!!

What about:

Fragmare (he was doing sprite work for various PCE games, then I *think* his home trashed in a storm. That sucks. I hope he is OK.

Awack — he did nearly all the damn screenshots in the epic comparison thread. 1500-1600+ I wish he was here.

Kaminari — lost interest? Got sick of all the idiots and noobs? Became 100% obsessed with PC-88/98 scene? HE HAD A CARVED WOODEN PCE that someone made for him. It was friggin' awesome.

Old_Rover — hope river and family are doing OK.

Keranu — I think he is still in middle school and has lots of homework

Donna — I think she kept soop's Galaga '88 + PCE.

LOL Necro at the Donna zing.  That was great. 

Nando has a new jobby job since earlier this year so he's been busy.

I wonder if part of quite a few members not being active here anymore is life changes,  but the forums really haven't.  Some feel there might not be anything left to discuss.  I myself take a break from here every now and then.  Life gets busy.

Yes, I think some folks feel that the conversations are stale.

Of course, we actually have some great things happening now in the PCE cosmos (to keep folks intrigued), but there have been lulls.

But, Life Changes kept me away from here for far too long. I had long stretches where I went MIA.

HERE'S my dilemma: if i don't visit the forums on at least a semi-regular basis, I feel like my personal PCE projects are stuck in a vacuum. Visiting here keeps me motivated and invigorated to keep working on stuff.

To everyone's delight, I will be posting just a fraction of my standard daily volume.  After nearly nine years at my dream job, management managed to mismanage the place into the ground.  Starting a new career with crazy hours and little downtime. :(

I hope someone steps up and keeps flooding the board with inane shit. GreatSwirlieOf99 so far seems the best candidate.

Sounds like my job: busy busy stress stress

He tried to go over to sunteam_paul's forums and start shit.  sunteam_paul put him in his own section of the forums where he could only talk to himself.  Was quite humerous and don't know why no one else thought of it.

Just passing through to say that I haven't forgot about you crazy, loveable people  :mrgreen:

My Duo-R is still trapped inside a box since I moved earlier this year but at least know the idea of a new retro-setup is slowly-slowly coming together. It did start to misbehave last time I used it but when I get going again I'll make sure to give her a spin to see what's up.  :wink:

I don't think I was ever actively contributing in such a way that people might've noticed me going AWOL but I always felt bad for not posting here in about since...whenever I stopped posted here and started lurking reddit and the shmups forums instead.
I...am sorry?  8-[

Lazy bastards have abandoned pcefx for Facebook,

An amazing amount of homebrew software,

An awesome team is working on an English translation of Falcom's _______________

800 sealed cases (10 games per case) of Magical Chase were found, drastically cutting the value of the game...

Yeah, I'm in the FB obey group. it's fun. I get why people don't like FB, and I would abandon it like hot shit on a summer day if only everyone else I know would do it at the same time. But they don't, the jerks. Google+ seemed like it might be the thing to do it for a minute, but that hope has faded.

Is there a list of turbob homebrew somewhere for me to check out? I vaguely remember something about a pyramid.

I can't believe Google+ was such a waste of everyone's time...surely all the brainpower could have come up with a fun, useful social thingie service?

So Google bought Youtube, and then they HAD to somehow make their new ownership known, so they forced an unnecessary idea "Google+" on a perfectly good video-sharing service... :/ Yeah, if it proved anything, to me at least, is that they're not as smart as I thought they once were.
