Jesus, this place is pretty dead.

[DARKMorpha71]

Anything happened since I left? Of course no one knows who I am, but I left sometime in 2001, maybe 2. Screw it, a long damn time ago. I left when the PDBA moved to this site, so what happen?

[Razor]

Mrr...we had something going...then people stopped posting again for some reason. Notesurfer just hasn't been around at all...

[N3B]

'twas pretty active for close to 2 years, then a little after that, time finally caught up and we just sort of fizzled out. Personally, I don't have the "fighting spirit" anymore, which I'd assume is also how a few others feel; not to mention this isn't an advertized/public site, we don't get a whole lot of new people, so it's been mostly just the same few of us fighting each other over and over.

[Snake]

And I've been involed for awhile. But for some strange reason I keep appearing and disappearing...ah well....

[Draxas]

Lord knows what it would take to get people motivated again like they used to be. Seems like the majority of the folks who used to frequent the site have moved on, which is a shame.

Ah well. I'll be here, always trying new stuff to keep people involved.

If anyone else bothers to read this, instead of lamenting and disappearing, why not join one of the other areas of the site? LMS remains alive and kicking, Soul Shadow needs more users desperately, and Clash... well, I'll get back to updating Clash regularly soon, I hope.

[niff]

I was busy due to school and all that.. during the summer I'll be back into it if everybody else is. That's probably one of the main problems, lack of time by a few people, the ones who try to keep it going give up and then we have a dead board. >_>

[NeoPhife]

I've been hella busy with college and all. Things are winding down, though, and soon I will be a proud recipient of Perfect Dark Zero, so I may start things up again.

[Draxas]

Welcome back, Phife!

Say, out of curiosity: If I actually took the foolish step of starting a CC arena, would anyone participate? I would really like SOMETHING to happen here, and I seem to have tried just about everything else.

[niff]

I will in a few days. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow I have exams. >_>

EDIT: And don't forget the immesurable amount of time it takes me to design characters

[Draxas]

Who said anything about designing characters? I'm talking about picking up the old guard (none of this Generations nonsense, I want the REAL PDBA) and slaughtering each other the way we intended when this site was started.

I've been reading the old topics again. This was my first ever arena:

n3b.proboards14.com/index.cgi?board=Archives&action=display&thread=1069045346

Why can't we have an arena like this again? Don't give me that nonsense about not having it in you, anyone. If you didn't have it in you, you wouldn't be here at all.

[niff]

By designing I mean editing my character even a little bit.. it takes me forever.

But yeah, I'll do it if you make one in a few days. I'll be sure to cowprod ranger into doing it as well.

[N3B]

I'd like to think I would be able to get back into at least one arena. Mind you, though, that topic was back in our major prime, when the PDBA was active and the site was flourishing and getting better and better as I figured out how to run proboards and things.

[Draxas]

There is no reason we can't be like that again.

Many of the major posters in that arena are still frequent posters on the site: Myself, N3B, Niff, Ranger, Razor. And if we start, and really make an effort (and maybe email some old members), others will come.

I refuse to believe that the PDBA is dead. In hibernation, perhaps, but not dead.

[Draxas]

Expect an arena to be posted this weekend. I will revive this place to the best of my ability, even if it means I have to force people to post. Don't make it come to that; help me restore this place to the glory we once knew.

[niff]
