Calling Out All NBA Live 2003/2004 Old Timers

[cyanide]

I remember the black and blue forums, but I never signed up until later. I was here since the very beginning... in spirit.

I was at the black and blue forums. Probably posted even more irregularly than I do now, though. Don't even remember any of my user names.

I didn't even know that there was a forum back in the day. I lurk around the NLSC site during the time when I was playing Live '99 but never the forum area. I only registered for an NLSC forum account in 2003 as "Crappystuff," as well as in dotorg (also as "Crappystuff").

So I was only familiar with the "old timers" who were at the same time, patchers.

Same here, I started coming here around 2003 when I got my first laptop, but I was mostly checking the patch releases for NBA Live, I wasn't really paying attention to anything else.

[J@3]

Lurkers and barely-posters don't count. Get away from our gathering you frauds!

[shadowgrin]

This thread suddenly made me feel old like Sauru.

When did the blue forums end? and when did even the red ones end? don't even remember what NLSC looked like before this, all I have is a image of dotorg in my head

The original black and blue forums (the ones that ran on Discus) were closed in November 2002, the red design was replaced in 2007 and we left phpBB2 behind in October last year, leading to the current scheme.

I had like two posts on the original black and blue, but then I really got the internet and patched (programmed) for Live 03! Anyone remember me?

EDIT: I notice my team member badge is removed... I guess that's what happens with months and months of inactivity!

[Andrew]

I certainly do, nice to see you again. Nothing personal about the badge, it just occurred to me that you and a few others had (more or less) retired.

[J@3]

Hey it's Cameron! Are you coming back or just one posting?

[Cameron]

Hey! You guys DO remember, and care! I'm glad to see you're back, Jae (I check in from time to time, and noticed for a while you weren't posting).

I'll think about coming back. It's a lot easier to think about it now in my summer off, than once school starts up again and every waking moment is spent in the books (or hanging out with actual friends in the big city, never had that problem here in population 4400 town ) I'll see how things go.

In the meanwhile, I'm trying out that NBA Live 06 PC patch, because I'm getting bored of 08 and can't afford a console or a better computer right now. Looks pretty nice so far.

EDIT: And Andrew, of course I didn't take it personally. You were just being a good administrator.

[Andrew]

It's the Year of the Comeback, so by all means stick around.

[Jackal]

Fuck yeah, the banjo man is back in business.

[Cameron]

YEAH! The banjo man is here. On that topic, anyone like Neil Young?

Jackal... do you still go on msn? I want to talk to you about something.

[benji]

On that topic, anyone like Neil Young?

The guard on the Wizards?

[Cameron]

LOL! Not Nick... Neil...
