I've already known this. If you had roamed the site enough, or had stayed long enough, you'd have to wander into the GBAtemp wiki and find this out, at least I did. And me, not being here long enough to exactly know KiVan, I wonder what he's doing with his life now....

Costello tried to eat him alive, so he fled the website and created a new one... DS-Scene.net.

Oh man. I remember when the forums first opened in 2002. It has been quite a while. Just looking at the picture reminds me we used to have polls on the portal. Perhaps it's time to crack those out again?
I remember it too, although I was only six years old at the time. I have been pretty much a lurker ever since...
As for the polls, I agree, it is time to bring 'em back!

He was on for a bit in October 2010. C'mon KiVan! Come back!
If I'm not wrong in GBAtemp history than when KiVan was admin the temp was a dark, dirty and smelly place were roms were hosted by trolls...
But KiVan removed the ROM hosting when the forum community started up.

In this topic I remembered that I am a very old member.
I used to come here to check GBA roms and news and I still visit everyday to see the scene news even though I don't post much in the forum

(Or maybe I was with another name? Because I know I was here when megaman battle network 2 came... and also remember the puzzle thingy in the first post of that archived page (with guru logi champ and all))

Oh, there's more 2002's users still online than I thought

I'm not in the "online member's list" on that picture

I met KiVan before he decided to create gbatemp.
We were on some gba rom site, and we were bouncing from site to site when they closed.
He decided to create an URL with a fix name, and redirect many hosting servers to that url so even if they closed the url was still the same.

When he added the forum, I didn't register right away, so I'm only 746

A little surprised at how many didn't know about some of GBAtemp's history, but I probably shouldn't be. Old times, good times, times tables...wait.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh boy Massdrop has $1100 IEMs. Want, but not at that price lmao. https://drop.com/buy/campfire-audio-andromeda-emerald-sea-iem
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?

    Dbz said everyone has raging energy senses

  • cearp @ cearp:
    you mean generally, how does the concept work?
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
    Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty: @Sicklyboy, 1) ohkay 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5K3jc6Q3HU
