I was just thinking, GBAtemp, implies that its a temporary site, in the very fact it was just that, Megaroms was always supposed to be the dominant of the two... Should prolly at some point think about renaming it..But then...by the time you guys get around to it, the next portable system will be a big hit and pfft, site dont even matter any more...

Ok sheesh what a highjacked thread this has become.

Speechl has explained to me several times why the channel is called gbatemp but I still believe it was originally because it was a temporary meeting place for him and a couple others (kivan and someone else maybe thug or someone). So then the channel grew a bit and I think kivan initially setup the web site and now it's grown to a whole number of things, I don't know who runs/controls what any more but that shouldn't all really matter very too much besides that whoever keeps this web site alive is doing a very good job (costello maybe, I forgot).

I'm kinda confused as to who runs the efnet channel but that's ok.

Anyway the name wouldn't change here because this site is popular and has grown. I think it's a unique name, but changing it would confuse probably 40% of the people who visit or more and could cause a few problems trying to get those regulars back.

Good to see Julee again though, she's very nice.

And I seem to recall the original GBAtemp being a temporary website to hold GBA roms (you can still find the site if you know where to look). After a while, the guestbook was becoming too cumbersome, and so a forum was set up. Shortly afterward, the channel formally came into being to serve as a distro.

While a channel may have been involved, it wasn't GBAtemp until afterward. I'm having trouble finding the topic, but I know the origins of the channel can be found in our forum archive.

Currently, the website is maintained by Shaun, Costello, Hunter, and Wolf.

Hunter and Wolf are only technicians, they have no power of decision at all

in other word, they help doing technical stuff.
I supposed this is what you call "maintainance"

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam

    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
