Ace =^( I'd totally help fix this place for you and grasp this forum back from the wretched, cold dead grip of the robots that currently infest this place, but last I checked I didn't have powers? Or did you give them back to me on the off chance.......Nah. But I'll check anyway, though. Because I totally don't have a life, plus I love this fucking place. It's been so long but I'm now starting to look back on it, and I remember everything. This place is something I'll never forget again, such a huge part of my life back then, I'm really happy you made it and I signed on. So many sleepless nights, chatting on Gantz chat and reading/making retarded pointless posts. Thank you, Ace. I love you. <3. ;^) Told you I'd be here till the end. And don't worry about it, you only have one life, it's fine if you focus on it, x^D

Holy shit, just realized Ulrich is a moderator. We could ban the bots....but no. We probably want to delete them as users completely. Hmmm. Could be an angle I could take though, since I'm going to assume you're not going to come back on here in another year or so.
Don't worry, Ace. I'm one of your soldiers. I'll protect the castle while you're gone. Haha, I should have never quit being a moderator, I'm such a pussy, giving that up on you. x^d

Lol lucky for you I decided to check on it today.
And yeah the bots are a big problem. Ive sat down about 5 seperate Times last year deleting them and ip banning. Seems like hell of a task but if your up to it cool.
I could give you awesome powers if you really want them. Like really what could it hurt right? Ill check in again tomorrow and if you want em you got em.
Seriously we end the bot problem, like forever end it and advertise again there really would be hope for this place. Maybe. Don't expect much from me for a while though. Just being honest.

Lol lucky for you I decided to check on it today. Haha, holy shit that's does feel like luck. And yeah the bots are a big problem. Ive sat down about 5 seperate Times last year deleting them and ip banning. Seems like hell of a task but if your up to it cool. Holy shit, that's crazy. And yeah, I'm up to it, I've get plenty of fun things to do, but none that are actually important (like a job, or school); I'm on vacation. Plus my heart won't let me quit. And even after vacation ends I'll keep popping in because I don't give a fuck about important things because I'm a failure as a human being. =p I could give you awesome powers if you really want them. Like really what could it hurt right? Ill check in again tomorrow and if you want em you got em. Dawgx gave me basic admin powers (<3), but I'll take anything you can give me. My whole thing is I've never been admin before, and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I'm sure proboards has like an admin guide, or something, right? Seriously we end the bot problem, like forever end it and advertise again there really would be hope for this place. Maybe. Don't expect much from me for a while though. Just being honest. What is WITH the bots, anyway? Is it something about the proboards' registration system? What even attracts them to barren land anyway? Anyway, fuck yeah, let the war begin. My first action will be to make this thread public just in case a human [guest] actually stumbles upon this site, they at least know someone is trying to fix it up? They are going to know the site is gone to shit already, but at least they will see this instead of just my retarded as fuck posts of me yelling at bots [I'll look to see how to do it, but I'll wait on doing it just in case you think it is a bad idea]. Probably going to take me a million years just to figure out how to do that, haha. And yeah, like I said it's fine! Honesty is great, it sure doesn't get me laid, but I couldn't imagine living life without it, <3. Oh, I'm slow, I just noticed our awesome banner is gone, haha, x^D

Im not anywhere near a computer. Im typing this all from my phone. The admin cp may have changed since the forum upgraded to version 5 of proboards. All you have to do is go to advanced options on the posting page and you can mass delete thier posts. I usually go to the recent posts page and do it that way. Then you go to the member page and look at every member that has 0 posts or bot like posts and delete the user.
The banner and codes and what not.. need to be fixed by me or unless you can figure it out yourself.
Go to proboard support, create an account and ask them any questions you may have. They are very helpful.
Thats all I got. Next time im around a computer ill do a serious site revamp myself to help you out. Hopefully dawg put you in the strongest member group. I don't have all my powers from my phone.

Oh and the bots are because we generate a bunch of traffic. Sites go through search engines and we come up. So were plagued by advertising. I know there's a sure fire way to end it. We just need to figure it out. Try ask on pb support if you do go there.
N man its good to see someone trying, it really does bug me to see us like this.

Jesus... My first post in more than a year. I Placed Fay in the strongest member group on here which shouldve gave him all the powers we have. Good luck Fay. Maybe we can get the old group back together.
I know we were all young, kids even, when we first joined. 5 years later, we are all grown and have lives. It sucks but thats reality.

Nice to see you dawg. And yeah you're right totally.
Really good to see life here lol even though its just us. I was popping in and out checking on it here and there. But couldn't stand to see it this way. Plus nobody around but the bots.
Really all you need is ten people to have an active forum. We have come back before. Id revive it if I had the time and my own pc.

Did a very small amount of spring cleaning. Slayed about 50 bots or so, I'd wager. Brought the amount of users down from 7 pages to 6, barely. The first 4 pages of recent posts is actually look-through-able now. I'm probably not going to use the mass delete stuff simply because I like searching through the entire forum, gives me a chance to re-read it all and experience nostalgia and shit. <3 Maybe we can get the old group back together. Really good to see life here lol even though its just us. Really all you need is ten people to have an active forum. We have come back before. Id revive it if I had the time and my own pc. <3 <3 <3. Oh, you guys. Would be kind of fun/comforting just to turn this place into like a chat haven for the true members of this site, somewhere we can always keep in touch with each other at and talk about whatever we want. Even just going back to the "1 or 2 posts a month" thing we had before would be better than nothing. We could literally have the most impractical, long and draw out conversations known to humankind, Idontgiveafack. "Oh, how have you been yo? I finally got a girlfriend. =3" *3 months later* "Pretty bad man, I'm becoming addicted to crack, you?" *6 months later* "I'm good, girlfriend is dead. =( I assume you are no longer addicted to crack?" Gantz is over, but I wouldn't mind some discussion! Still buying each volume. Haha, true we never really discussed the ending with you. That ending...... >_> I was waiting to get any of the volumes where the Osaka arc started simply because I figured the GANTZ/OSAKA thing would come out in English, you know, the thing with the extra stuff about the Osaka team and the supposed "fixes" to the Osaka mission, and I'd just skip the original volumes and get those for the Osaka arc. Never seen any news on it yet, though. Also, probably going to re-read Gantz again. In honor of GP. This will also be the first I've re-read Gantz from start to finish (not looking forward to this ending again though), everytime I've re-read it I'd also have to stop and wait for the chapters to release Edit: Holy shit, FC still exists? I thought it was deleted when Ronnie went on a forum editing spree. Kind of cool to have a spammy place like that, but without any bots infesting it at all.

I was just distracted by real life dawg. Broke up with my ex and with that lost the computer. Then I got a very busy and full time job with no free time.
And yeah I was hoping on English release of special chapters. Might just eBay import stuff if I need to. I have most of the osaka volumes tho the translations are nice. The ending did suck only because of the obvious rush job on it. We should be thankful we got an ending though. Im happy about the final fight. Pissed about everyone who died and those who did jack shit. Like hikawa and kill bill watching in the stands. Oh my god I flipped shit. Kurono2 > kurono1. Psychics all day man.
You know we could kill the bots by making the whole board password protected. And make it that we send a pm the password to actual real people. Think that would work guys? It does seem they have slowed down the past few months besides.

I was just distracted by real life dawg. Broke up with my ex and with that lost the computer. Then I got a very busy and full time job with no free time. Awww, that sucks. Was it that one girl you were talking about a while ago where she was kind of dim-witted or whatever? Like hikawa and kill bill watching in the stands. Oh my god I flipped shit. Kurono2 > kurono1. Psychics all day man. Hahaha, Hikawa, x^D. Can't believe how terrible it was how they just ignored him the entire thing. And Sakurai, =(. There's going to be some feels when I re-read the death of his girl. =^( You know we could kill the bots by making the whole board password protected. And make it that we send a pm the password to actual real people. Think that would work guys? It does seem they have slowed down the past few months besides. Honestly I think I can handle the bots. Once I get rid of all the current ones, I'll be able to catch any new ones just registering and erase them before they even get a chance to take over again. Password protected would definitely be good for the whole little "our personal hang out place" idea, but it does seem like it'll very easily deter new users. Initially speaking, the idea doesn't seem too awesome to me, but it'll work as you said. Oh, and my computer is dying again, literally just got a fixed and it's back to shit, so I probably won't be "on" for a couple weeks or so, maybe even months. I mean, I will come on with my phone, but I won't be able to moderate probably. Just didn't want you to think I gave up as soon as I started. I have my step-mom's computer so I can drop in and moderate still every once in a while, but yeah, probably going to wait for a new computer before going too crazy with the moderation (like I said, I want to re-read/experience the forum again while doing it).
