I miss the days of using local BBS to meet other weirdos and have LAN parties.
I also miss Blast City like a motherfucka - god that was an awesome site.
HOLY SHIT BLAST CITY!! That brings back tons of memorys! I remember there was a couple off-shoots, one of which was a Nintendo board, what else was there? Also, do you remember Imashroom?
Oh wow, some Blast City refugees! I used to post there as "Soul Reaver" from the Dreamcast launch up until the time the site went under. I also posted on Tendo City (the Nintendo offshoot, which actually still exists as a distantly related ancestor of that original forum) and Shock City (the short-lived Sony offshoot). Man, Imashroom, that guy was crazy. Sometimes he just seemed a cool guy, but then everyone once in a while he would go into condescending old-man rant mode. I remember one time he ripped into me for saying that Mississippi should be allowed to keep their "Stars and Bars" state flag because it stands for more than just slavery to a lot of people. Also another time on some religious topic. I think that was the time that I starting thinking "WTF is this old-man doing arguing online with a bunch of kids?"
Also, DCwiz.
OMG, when he finally actually posted pictures of himself actually playing with feet, I thought the entire forum was just going to die right then and there.
Eventually he got banned anyway for being a moron though. I remember him and Imashroom getting into it several times, Imashroom hated him.
Who was that one chick that posted on the forum? Anastasia or something like that? The entire forum went nuts over here for a a while there. She had a ton of groupies/internet boyfriends. I remember there being multiple meltdowns concerning her. I think RoboEggman or whatever his name was was involved in at least one of them, or maybe that was an unrelated meltdown, but I'm pretty sure that he did in fact meltdown at some point. Ana or whoever made her own forum after Blast City went down. I went there once hoping to some Blast City-esque action, but instead I found the most sickifyingly sycophantic thing I've ever seen in my life. It was disgusting, it wasn't a forum so much as it was a place for various internet nerds to vie for her affections. That was probably the last I saw of any of the old Blast City gang, I wasn't sure where any of them went after that.
That's about all I remember from that site. It was my first internet forum, and it was good times. I wonder if Icy-9 is still running his Virtua Fighter forum.
