Let's reminisce about your favourite past NLSC members

I seem to remember there was a person who thought Jamaal Tinsley would be a lock for MVP?

Pavel aka Brave Sir Rubin.

I remember Tony was so outraged about LeBron having visible earwax in one picture once that he included it in his LeBron update

I remember that. He even included that in his list of patch features.

I don't think the threads being created are the problem I think the overall poster quality is just low. These things usually come in waves so hopefully it'll pick back up again we've just got to keep it rolling until the Philippines find a new NBA video game website to visit and the average poster age rises above 16.

I am still fourteen, Jae. +

True, but we obviously have some good posters still lurking. If those guys talk about the stuff that interests them, I think that'll bring other good posters out of the woodwork and set an example for newer posters still learning the ropes.

As far as activity is concerned I think it's also worth noting that we've split General Talk into a few different sections over the years. If all the TV, movie and non-basketball video game discussion was taking place in one general off-topic section as it was several years back, General Talk would look a lot busier. That's not to say the other issues we've brought up aren't a factor because they obviously are, but I think it does accentuate the situation.

hey guys, passing through...

I think one of the things that can account for this lull in the forums is the fact NBA Live doesn't even exist anymore. Sure we have a 2k section, but I feel like this site is still predominately catered towards the NBA Live series. The majority of the patchers did most of their work on NBA Live and this site is essentially catering to games that are growing older and older. I agree with the point that was made earlier saying that a lot of the patches that were very important, almost to the point of necessity (especially with the pieces of shit EA churned out during the latter incarnations) and without that it kind of stagnates the community.

Overall Jae, I think we just were a part of this community at the right time. I think it was the perfect storm of Live being at the peak of its quality and features that were sorely lacking from the original games that were implemented by fan made content which fostered a more active community.

True, but we obviously have some good posters still lurking.

CATCH HIM!

I'm sorry, but as a veteran, we can't let you leave.

That's a fair point; a majority of our news posts are 2K related these days and those are our busiest sections right now, but we obviously haven't changed our domain name as yet and we've got a long history as an NBA Live site. When it comes to the general/off-topic sections though, a lot of people had already moved on to 2K or weren't really playing basketball video games anymore. People came for the games, which they still do, but they also stayed for the general sections. We're not seeing as much of that, though again I think it's accentuated slightly by the general sections being divided up. Combine all the active threads in General, Entertainment and Video Games Central into one section and that section would look a bit more active.

I don't have any money! Don't hurt me!

I lurk most of the time. Just haven't really seen a lot of topics where I'm motivated to post in. I guess time away has left me a little detached from this place for the most part and made a little hesitant to engage in discussions.

I'd say you're probably not alone there. Well, we'd certainly welcome people creating some new threads to stimulate discussion if there's something you're interested in talking about. It's what this section is for, after all.

i think a lot of people spent some time away and are either too busy to come back or simply hesitant on posting again. a few years ago, i came back from my hiatus and i felt like i didn't even know the place. this badger guy was annoying the shit out of everyone and there were only a handful of names i recognized.

For sure. I obviously haven't had an extended period of time away from the site so I guess it's less noticeable to me but I can definitely understand how that would be a factor. At the end of the day I think we have to soldier on, make the most of the situation and make good use of the facilities as it were, and enjoy ourselves.

I'm a melo15boy fanboy. That guy was entertaining as hell. Oh, and dumb to boot.

Ay.
I forgot about this place for a few years, it's cool to come back and immediately see this. My life's a lot less hectic than it once was, but back in the day this was one hell of a place to cool down and find some stability. And it's funny to read old posts about my 12-year-old "romantic life".
Anyway, I'm relatively busy nowadays, so I don't really see posting with any regularity, but I just figured I'd say hey to all the dudes that I knew (thanks for the kind words Jae) and thank you guys, cuz this forum really did help me out a lot.

.....I lied. I'm not that busy. I'm gonna go smoke pot, jerk off and watch Bored to Death now.

Good to see you're doing alright bro

I'm gonna go smoke pot, jerk off ...

Don't forget to think of us!

Nice to see you stop by.

just spent a half hour reading all this LOL you're all crazy

Hey, didn't know we have a few female members here. frAn please come back

I wonder where in the world Modifly is right now. The one Houston fan I know before Axel. came in.

Where the fuck is Jaesus?

Where the fuck is Jaesus?

Not in Canada.

frAn is still here in the forums, though. She uses a slightly different username

The frAn that used to patch NBA Live 2005? The pinay one?

The frAn that used to patch NBA Live 2005? The pinay one?

Yep.
Hint: She still has the word fran in her username

What I felt after I learned that frAn is female.

Kevin, you call franmansr? He is completely different from frAn.

Yeah, franmansr is definitely not frAn.
