Clownybluebox (aka Music) reporting in. I used to lurk this shit too when I was 13. I miss the days when DrFunk was king.

You shouldn't. He came back for a little bit a while back and it was awful.

That's genuinely unfortunate, but I imagine pretty the same as when he was ORIGINALLY around. He was constantly banned/unbanned for the first few years of the site, often only being saved due to the fact that some of us had a soft spot for his antics.

I remember our great PLOT on IRC where Funk had somehow gotten ahold of the RPGDS beta. DP, Alexander and I were trying to give him a virus that would have deleted the files, pretending like we were sending him the "UPDATED VERSION". He totally didn't fall for it.

Plus Bart and Belross were like "WTF ARE YOU SEND HIM A VIRUS FOR?!"

Moral: Everyone whose name begins with a B is inherently more ethical.

Oh also, DrFunk's original name was hirok, or "I Rock". TRIVIA.

Since we're on the topic, my fondest memory of Dr. Funk was his farewell video. I hope somebody saved it. Burned with Desire was his farewell song.. it just fit so perfectly.

Oh god, I forgot about SHITTABEAR.

Probably one of the funniest experiences of my life.

And his sister's panties too! Oh man, who was that kid? I don't even remember.
Laugh it up, Fuzzball

Man it's so weird coming back here every once in a while. It's like you get older but this place is more or less wrapped in a bubble. I started coming here around high school and distinctly remember messing around with RM95/2k on the family's old P3 Dell. Now that it's been more than just a few years, this place still brings back old memories. Like when I see the names Erave, Safari and Mateui (just a few of recent posters), I think to myself "i know these people, i have interacted with them before, but i don't remember how or when."


I remember getting in arguments with people over whether rm2k3 was legit programming or not, and now that I've got like 2 degrees in CS i realize those fuckers were right all along. Or raging in the mod forum for some trivial reason that I don't even remember. Or saying to myself $15 is a lot of money for premium membership, man i need to eat, forget gamingw. Anyways, I love y'all so keep this machine churning.

There is very much a space for a site of this calibre to penetrate the market again
