    heh. well i was looking through my old old phone this weekend and i found a text from when it shut. You must admit it was a great place if you didnt have all the hassle of running it and taking everyones shit, mark.

    Speaking as someone who never used forums much.
    What was o8? and why is it regarded so fondly?

    It was a messageboard mark used to run after dreamless shutdown containing the 08 - meaningless and shallow topic from dreamless. Some people hated it, some people fucked it up, the rest (myself included) enjoyed our time there. It was always a useful way to waste time and was generally full of nice (helpful) people. Like this place but less focussed on support and more on random shit. And private.

    i remember trying to get an o8 tshirt project running but noone could be bothered. We should make one for old times sake. Or a lussumo one...rape those threadless fuckers at their own game.

    deel - yes, the busiest we ever got was appx 30 gigs of transfer in one day.... and the server barely slowed down at all. Gotta love streamlined software like that :)
