Parental Problemz©

yah from .. 24 years ago

my mom left my birth dad when i was like 1 years old, and we always just kept the name (since they were married) .. we finally changed to her maiden name about 2 years ago so yeah, that's the gist of it.

Although my avatar is gone due to a certain forum feature for premium members being DELETED   ​


Which feature?

I woke up today and saw like 5 new posts on the GW front page.

Great job Drule, 5 posts a day is a ton for a smaller site like this, but if you keep it consistent with 1-2 posts a day, that's awesome. I hope others step up to write for the site as well.

Welcome to the metafuture.

Are the forum themes really that horrendously constructed? What sort of ETA would be on a makeover for the forums? I can't wait!!

from what I remember, the SMF source code is frightening

I'm just making fun of the Web 2.0 and mobile apps craze that's currently going on.

lol web 2.0 that's old news. it's all about web 3.0 now and real-time everything!!!

(real post: The "Web 2.0" name kind of died out awhile ago. Any information related content is going into being a "real-time" experience now as Twitter pushed that to a good portion of the mainstream.)

ed,

I can probably fetch what you need as I'm sure it's still somewhere in the db. I didn't do the erasing (if there was any past the layout) but I can take a look.

Just tell me what the post title was and any other relevant information.

Ah...I remember the good ol' days when the GW mainsite was stagnant.

I also remember the good old days when it was not and the community was thriving .. :)

How many radical new mainsites do you need until all passionate individuals are exhausted?


Every radical new mainsite has been under a different administration if I recall. To be honest I don't know but it'd be nice if this is the last time in a long while

We're not witnessing the end of GW ... We're witnessing the rebirth of GW. GW needs to start over in order to get stronger

There was a time when 40 different subforums made sense. Not anymore

There was a time when our staff could write compelling articles to compete with other sites. Not anymore

Reinvention is the only way we can fix this. And fix it, we will.

So here's what the new GW is going to be....

-- And that ends my horrible spoof on the GM Reinvention commercial as I have no clue what the new GW IS going to be.

Regardless, Drule seems to have a passion and drive to get things going and he seems to know what did not work in the past few years and he's doing his best to get GW going again.

So give your kudos to him, he deserves it.
