Now come on guys and gals.. You either can't find your way to the REPLY button on are lost cause the Title is wrong? Well, I brought you all to water- DRINK! Its sad to say but these dying sites and ..FORUMS.. even though the "Views" are there. It will NOT keep quake alive much longer. I have begged some site owners to keep their site's up and they have 2 answers.. 1) Nobody Shows they Care Anymore 2)Nobody participates I imagine the ADMIN(s) is sending Happy Birthday Notices. Sending Updates, etc like I used to do. SADLY- I read we have OVER 500 members? Yet I find only 4-5 main posters. Hell even stop by and say HEY! Let us know whats been going on. Marriage, Work, New Place or what. Let us know who the VIEWERS are!

Well to be honest, in my opinion, you create to many new topics! If I'm gone for 3 days, and come back and check the Recent Posts site, all I see is your name in almost all posts, in different topics!
Not to say it's a bad thing to be as active as you are, but with as many topics as you create, its kind of hard to reply on any of them.. I have no idea where to start, and don't really want to read them all! It's like you're drowning us with new topics, without letting us take our time to read your previous topics..
That's just my opinion! Might just be me who thinks like this though..

Actually- I hear you and thats what brought me to attention if its mainly me,you and the admin and- Moccan (I think) I have no idea how much activity was here before me. (Maybe i'd get depressed?) I have my name all over many forums. When I find a descent group (Like here) it depresses me to see no action or limited. Even more when there are HUNDREDS of members. My experience when there is activity its usually a daily thing. Speaking of what I said earlier. If I can find this post I read after I posted this. [I'll link it here] This person in another forum I guess had been away awhile. Came in and said why he'd been gone. What has happened last time he was around and whats coming up too. I thought that was kinda cool as it was 'my' thought originally. Yet I never been to that forum before. Well, I have 2 ideas to bring attention to quake and this forum. 1) Is I need someone who can make a good skin (TRUST me- its good idea I have) [PM ME] 2)I suggested but don't have time yet think someone should make a Video for their LOCAL PUBLIC ACCESS TV (Cost $35 to run in several dates and jurisdictions) I did this years ago with some FPS game.(Cant even remember the game-lol) The server was loaded for months. There are many people out there who see this who are going through hard time, want something cool to do, have lots of good memories with Quake and thought it was 'dead'. I ran everything till my Expage.com page was closed due to the sale of the or closing of that domain. This can get your name out there along with Happy Friar,Me :-),Fatal1ty in your local area(s). Plus its tons of fun to see what "movie'/video" you created be shown on a TV Guide!! It helps if you make quick paper flyers to tape up at local game stores too. That's if you all can handle all of this work and attention that may be coming your way! Here is a link to help you all GET ON PUBLIC ACCESS: How to Get on Public Access Now make sure you link a Youtube version of your show after here in the forum. Well this is HE MAN and i'm out! (Did I spell that right)

Perhaps it`s time to start a new forum?. Maybe here?. I started 2 forums and I have 400 members on the main site. About 88 signed up for the forum. Its tough to do it alone when your busy with MANY Quake things at once. You know what my answer was? I sent EVERYONE to this forum. Check it out: QUAKEPC FORUMSo there should be/been a flood of New Members coming here since I signed up. I GTG- the Pitbull is getting hyper!

Well this is HE MAN and i'm out! (Did I spell that right) Lol Well, I understand what you mean.. It's just that, it almost looks like you're copy-pasting stuff you've written previously on other forums! (Else you really have lots of stuff on your mind!) Anyways... Quality is more important than quantity!! Atleast in my opinion!

Nah- everything is fresh like the summer breeze (Not the Female Douche either -lol) No copy & paste here. My mind runs like a engine with a hole on the side of the carburetor. WIDE OPEN! Yesterday/Last night I came across a Quake 2 Skins Site. (The first place I always go is LINKS!) SO I DL the 88x31 buttons that is collectible. There was about 39 links to Quake 2 sites skin and nonskin related. Now- assuming I don't use the WAYBACK MACHINE. Only 2 links worked or I mean go to any quake site anymore. So only small % of the links were good anymore.. Well, time to feed to dog.

Here is what I been doing to preserve Quake 2. I find sites like here below about Clans n such Quake ServersYou'll notice how 99% of not all of these are dead.However the Clan Tags are online so I go searching for their sites on Google. I then take their Logo's n goodies , skins etc put them on a USB Storage device and keep on DL till I fill it. This is my contribution to Quake/Quake 2. I have enough graphics to build a Encyclopedia about Quake 2. If you want- try the same or think of another preservation idea. Well, back to collecting. !!
