    I stopped taking them. I literally don't remember July 5 - 16th.. Totally lost.. I slept last Saturday night and woke up Monday at Noon ( Almost slept 2 days straight) sick to my stomach.. Stopped taking meds Monday and feel much better, been surfing again and working out. Feeling much better with no "western meds" in my system.. Give me a Beer and some weed and all is well!!
    Thanks for the concern @east1226

    Well, I'm finding this place disappointing. Not only did Homer and Dan just flat out lie to us, but few of my old GSF friends are playing with me anymore. My two favorite threads, haiku and photography, were either ignored or ruined. And Jesus, some of the people here are fucking freaks. 4/10

    Also:
    A thread of haikus?
    Man, how was I unaware.
    Those are fun to make.

    They'll probably blame us for not being grateful; that because we didn't kiss their asses after they missed several of their own deadlines, we were somehow undeserving.

    I thought I had at least scanned every thread in GSF and GCB since the change and I haven't seen a haiku thread here. There was one in the old forums, but I haven't noticed it in the new ones. Where did you post it Clam?

    Probably the place we first ended up, but I may have been brave and put it on Vesti.

    If you put it on the Vesti, then no wonder it died. Something like the haiku thread would need to stay in the GSF sub area. The GCB moves too fast for it. Also, in regards to the photography thread, screw Serith. Ramble about whatever you want in there. Talk about your equipment. Talk about books for photography. Talk about your techniques. She spends most of her time in the Vesti anyway. Some of the crowd were kind of getting into it. You, just as much as everyone else, stopped posting in it. You just might need to save a link to it in your favorites. I had to dig 150 threads down to find it for 3DE.

    I'm getting an error with that link, but that's ok. I'll find it. Honestly, the thread left me with such a bad taste in my mouth that I haven't been taking many pics recently. But you're right, I need to post again. So does everyone, like mrpier and Catfish and Rasta... Where the hell is Rasta, anyway?

    Thanks Clam, it's nice to be mentioned in the list of people that need to post again. I'd post one too but that list would be too long..

    Anyway the fish is currently living by "if i've got nothing nice/fun to post i won't post anything at all" and it's not just bitterness over how the transfer went down (though there's that) there's rl problems going down too. But I don't want to dump all of that on the forums, especially these strange new forums.

    But sometime this fall i plan on making some major contributions to the photo thread, it's just too darn hot in southern california right now to go for hikes. Pretty much fall/winter/early spring are my only chances. I hope to see a lot more pics from GSF oldies too..

    They're over in the gcb, you should post there. Or make new threads here so I know someone is alive in here when I check in.

    I've been wondering where you've been and thinking of calling you up. Always up for a hike in the miserable heat. Wasn't so bad last time was it?

    Didn't Rasta just walk away? I think he was too upset about the way the planet sites were handled. Of course, a lot of people leave for a while and then come back. I suspect we won't see a lot of him for a while.

    Basically, yes, I walked away. I didn't want to post at IGN and still don't want to, but seeing my name mentioned I felt I should have posted something.

    I don't have anything against the community but I really don't like how IGN and Homer dealt with things for the past XX years - not to mention the situation for the last couple of months. This topic says the same story.

    I checked this place from time to time, since my old bookmark redirected to this place. Nice to see familiar faces and hopefully everyone is doing alright.

    Hi Rasta.

    Since I joined Gamespy in summer of 06 its like there were about a hundred and fifty regulars and since then no one new has joined, it's just been people being killed off and whittled away and reduced to the place Rasta is now (at best).

    But the few that remain are also some of the best. It could've been much worse if say, instead of JmanJoe we lost AkimboJoe.

    Buuurn. Just kidding Jman. Come back and spam us up sometime.

    Dan posted in two of the technical threads over in General Gaming today. It's apparently the board that's going to get spammed up when someone's server goes down.

    Homer says he gave everyone Prime who asked for it and that the post count update is coming.

    I recall asking for it, but didn't get it -- but I'm not going to fuss over it, I doubt I'd use it. Still, it's worth seeing if you have Prime if you asked and want it.

    Judging from the titles in this thread, none of us got it, despite several of the people here asking for it.

    When I click Prime, it asks me to subscribe... I would think this a hint.

    No prime here, and I did ask to be included in the migration offer. I'd lost my post count before, and my more recent one was no great shakes so I am less bothered about that.

    I very clearly asked for it, as did about 30 people in Dan's thread. Good to know Homer is still a lying sack of shit.

    Did anyone archive that thread, btw? It would be nice to be able to prove how many people actually asked for the Prime when they offered it.

    I would be very surprised if anyone had prime. So far I don't see anyone with it, myself included. I asked for it in the manner it was requested. I linked both gamespy and IGN profiles, gave my join date and my postcount. What a joke.

    You can also click the Prime only board and see if you can reply to any of the threads. Or you could just look at the title (the "Almost Not a Noob") which changes to Prime Member I think if you're subscribed (until you change it yourself).

    Way to grab the bull by the horns!

    For the record, I still like it here, even if management is being shitty.The software is a hell of a lot better, most of the people I care about post here, and I like the GCF guys, so for me it's win-win. I get that old forum vibe with the new blood we so desperately needed.

    I have no problem with the new venue. But I really dislike being misled. I suppose I should have expected it from Homer, but Dan seemed like a decent guy.

    Question: Will we be seeing the Gamespy Talkback articles posted here in the future? It was pretty much how I got my gaming news before. And the "Forum" link on Gamespy's webpage now redirects here, so some folks might be coming from their homepage looking to talk about the articles.. Then again maybe I'm out of touch and everyone discusses their gaming discussions on Twitter and crap now.

    Yeah it was nice last time. And it was in the 80s today I hope it stays like this, for sure I'd like to go hiking again this summer. This weekend I have the baby but maybe next week sometime. We can go hike somewhere cooler too, like up in the mtns if you want.

    Combined with the clusterf*** that's Gametrailers now and how they messed up Eurogamer, it's like the whole Internet is taking a step backwards. Probably has to do with tablet and smart phone users or some shit.

    Yeah, no Prime here. Since this is a different account than my Gamespy one using a different email god knows if he'll do it though. Back when GSF was still up I made a post using my GSF account pointing to this one, but that's all out the window now.

    STILL, I FEEL PRIME A-COMIN'.

    All this should have been taken care of before they closed GSF. Any problems, just go back to that thread and get it sorted and straightened out.
