It's kind of fun that nostalgia makes pretty much anything better than it used to be. Then again I can't say I had less fun at GW a few years back; it's just that people and their hobbies change. I know I enjoyed GW a lot back then, but I can't say that I would enjoy that kind of community being the way I am nowadays. I don't miss the old GW a lot tbh, I just miss a lot of old members, wherever they are.

It... actually, really really was. A mesh of ugly horribly ripped graphics from 25 different games, dialog using huge words that made NO sense just so RPG Advocate would look smart, a badly fucked up battle system which killed you within 5 seconds and made you restart at the beginning of the game, etc.

RPG Advocate was an enormous douche too. He tried a shitty sequel in RMXP, still using ugly as fuck ripped SNES graphics that were stretched to fit RMXP's bigger resolution. When everybody told him it actually looked pretty bad, he flipped out and told us all that we were wrong because he was a professional and knew what he was doing. And also because he translated Rm2k3, which must have been phenomenally hard with an almost identical RPG Maker 2000 already translated as a guide, as well as Babelfish.

Yeah, any time Phylomortis is brought up in conversation, I make sure to say that it's an awful piece of shit because I know RPGAdvocate is probably reading it.

He needs to know.

Don't be mean, RPG advocacy is hard and it's necessary work.

out of all the games ever made, i think only 6 or 7 are actually funny and diggity's targ games are 3 of them.

God this thread is so nostalgic I can't believe it.

I miss the poll forum dearly. It needs to come back. Remember topic of the week?

EDIT:

Wow it's hard to believe how many forums there used to be. There was literally a forum for EVERYTHING. It takes almost 3 scrolls of the mouse to get to the bottom of the page. A forum for every GCS, forums for big projects (Channel Changer anyone), a forum for general programming, one for internet programming, and... crap shack....

I can fucking remember that, and I must say I thought the forum was awesome back then. Though that was like 3+ years ago now. . .

I think I miss the old days.

I use to visit that old site when I was over at rpgnet I think it was called, came here to check out tutorials and grab some resources.. hated the forums when I would visit though, it was always full of mean people saying the worst things about everything. Either the people have changed here or I have!

GW started out basically as the Ned Flanders of RPG Maker websites. Everyone was nice, and quite a few people left their communities to post at GW because of that. For a few years, GW did become a pretty mean place though. The reputation we earned as a nasty community with many spiteful assholes was really quite justified and deserved.

GW's cool again though. We've all gotten older and mellowed out a bit, so we're mostly all good chums again.
