    Don't ask me. I shut it down.
  • 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.
  • here's a blast from the past. heh.

    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 :)
  • I can believe it with the amount the threads used to jump around. That is a real heap of text tho.
  • I still have this from a secret santa thing
