Gamesradar UK forum closure

Wow. When I initially had the idea for Waves, I didn’t think one of my first posts would be about the demise of the Gamesradar UK forum.

While it seems a waste to destroy the community, undo all the hard work people have put into the place and erase all that history from the internet, to be honest I feel that for the people who run the Gamesradar main site, it was the best thing to do. I saw this closure coming two years ago, although I was sure it would happen within weeks or months, not years.

Directionless

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. Even a Halo 2 session with the jovial and cheery RF guys cant cheer me up anymore. My modem's been playing up a bit recently, and the one time I could get on there to have a laugh, it was laggy as hell and everyone disappeared sharpish.…

Retarded SQL things

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. And I'm back to thinking that the £80 paid for two years hosting was a waste again. I've just spent an absolute age trying to work out why the RSS feeds aren't working properly and why the SQL stupid things were being retarded. I really have little…

Ah, Rez was good

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. Finally unlocked the last custom colour scheme for Direct Assault on the PS2 version, it was literally years ago that I 100%ed the Dreamcast version, seems a lifetime ago. I always forget how hard area 2 is to 100%... Listening to the soundtrack is one thing, but…

Pointless, innit

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. Orca's done a bang up job on the site, but me saying I'll do all this for a new site... I'm going to College to do a Dreamweaver course, not a hardcore coding course. I know me, I'll put it off and put it off, never finish…

I have a dream

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum.

I was going to do an entry yesterday talking about some Random Fury members and how much I appreciate them wanting to voluntarily play under the RF banner, but Jane came in and I got side-tracked. It’ll have to wait now, as I have something else to say.

Whilst Orca is designing a Flash based Halo 2 Random Fury site, featuring profiles and such of all the members, all the map strategies and tactics, any guides or FAQs that have been written, I’m also looking to learn website design at a local college in September, which will be free thanks to me claiming Jobseekers Allowance.

Blood test results!

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. Went to the Doctors yesterday, got my blood test results. I need to go and have an ultrasound done on my liver, apparently I have slightly raised something or other levels. Joy. Went back on the stronger anti-depressants as well, the 10mg ones didn't feel like they…

Gamesradar Forumite Awards 2005

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. I did quite well in them Forumite Award thingies last night, even though I had no interest in them at all. 2 Golds and 2 Bronzes for me, and as a whole RF kicked bottom with 4 Golds, 4 Silvers, 6 Bronzes (and a shed-load of special…

Things are looking up

This was originally posted in the Bloggers section on the now-defunct Poopgang forum. I'm slowly learning the intricacies of XML to take advantage of Halo 2 stats, might be starting a web design course in September, that'd be cool, get me on the right track. Anti-depressants still not kicked in though, and I think I'm coming down with a cold.
