That's how I remembered this place before seeing it referenced years later on various forums for a lot of the community efforts on games.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but since you have asked it and with the link @Scarlet has provided, I need to know where is the mighty KiVan that founded this site right now? How's he doing, does he still have a share of "ownership" of this site like power over its management anytime if he wants it since he is "special" for being the founder? Who owns the site right now and have power over everything of it and how does the power transfer, is it like from one CEO to another or being/ceasing to be board of director, similar process like that?

Costello and shaunj both currently run/"own" the site (IIRC shaunj took it over from KiVan, and recruited Costy as a sort of co-owner).

KiVan has no real "authority" here, and is just off doing real life stuff. He pops in occasionally, but he hasn't posted publicly since 2008. I assume Costy or shaunj may occasionally hear from him, but otherwise I doubt he really cares what goes on with the site at this point.

    @salazarcosplay, i think it would have been impossible to see anything in a gameboy mini

    @LeoTCK, atleast it's still avaliable
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    yes but it wasn't meant to be a comedy thread
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    and edge of the forum is mostly comedy and games
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    so I don't get why it got moved at all
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @LeoTCK, mods are probably hating you
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    on most sites mods hated me, sooner or later, but usually over time I get either banned or the mods get used to me
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    sometimes to the point of thanking me for my quick actions etc against spam and other stuff, but yea...its either they come to respect me or outright hate me
