Reply With Quotesites dead when I stop loggin in
the last post
Well, it seems like this place is pretty much the deadest it's ever been, and there's no hope for messageboards to ever make a comeback at this point. Even the guru forum hasn't had a post in weeks. And it seems weird that this place is just random spam bots talking to each other now. i guess there's a few more recent posts in the random thought thread but it's pretty much dead too.
So I just wanna say, I joined this place when I was 12, I'm almost 28 now, and as lame as it sounds, this site kind of has a special place deep down for me. I probably won't bother logging on anymore but whenever people talk about "the messageboard era" of the internet, this is the one I think of. Back in the day you could just refresh "new posts" every few minutes and there would be so many new conversations every time you could kill a whole night in the house like that. I found so much cool shit from this place whether it was music, video games, movies, clothes, skate videos, whatever. Dudes would help each other with an entire homework assignment all in exchange for posi. I remember finding out the girl who showed her tits on tinychat went to the same college as me and I was walking around campus for weeks trying to photo match the tits to different faces in my head lmao. I fired up my old xbox 360 to play some ea skate a few months ago and a bunch of people on my friends list were just people from here that I used to play that game with. And this was always just a good place to vent about whatever dumb teenage shit we were dealing with. I found this site when I was trying to learn shit like how to ollie and build a board better than a wal-mart one for as cheap as possible, and even though I really never even got good at skating and stopped after a couple years, I stuck around here for way longer because it was a cool little community.
In some ways I think talking shit on here so much kind of shaped the way I think because whenever I'm arguing with someone or trying to make a point I'm always thinking about any holes someone could poke in it and addressing everything before they can lol. I even learned some basic photoshop skills and shit that I still use today just because I wanted my avatar on here to have a transparent background and a cool sig. And when someone asks a stupid simple question in real life I still want to send them the "let me google that for you" link every time.
I think it seemed this way to me especially because I was on the younger side when I first joined and when this site was in it's prime, but at the time, this site always felt like showing up to the skate park and just talking shit and smoking weed with the cool older kids. I mean I definitely did my fair share of that in real life too but it was nice to have a place like that online, idk if kids really have anything like that now. maybe discord is similar but it's not really the same experience.
I logged on here the other day and I was just typing some random words into the search bar and seeing what threads came up and some of that shit was fucking hilarious. there was plenty of 14 year old shit posting but it was just funny to look back on. there was a thread where someone just posted what I'm guessing was a girl with some nice tits (link was dead) and then like 3 pages of og members just saying "wow." and "nice." lmao. and then one person who'd probably never even touched a real tit at that point was talking shit about how saggy they were.
RIP to jersey sucks and that other guy with the signature of the elephant with a dick for the trunk. sorry i forgot his name, I always just remembered a lot of people by their sig or avatar. but on the off chance any actual real people who posted here back in the day check in, I hope everyone is doing well with whatever you're up to now. I'm kind of surprised tom-e still pays for the hosting and domain name for this site atp but shout out to him for doing it all these years.
and damn I never would've guessed the guy in my avatar would be an actual hitler loving nazi in 2022 but I don't care enough to change it on a site no one uses anymore lol

You are a g my friend, we'll play some fighting games soon.

Just a few people in there. Mostly CCCP. but it is cool to still have a feeling of something like SB-C to check up on and see real people talking.
yeah i've given up as well. your description fits my experience almost perfectly and we share names/age (though i joined when I was 10 on a diff account). for however long this site lasts it's just going to be bots and people talking about it being dead / logging in for the first time in 5+ years.
still, I appreciate the longform you're providing here. again, I could say much of the same, and would probably always undermine sbc's true significance in my own life for better or worse (mostly better, I think) but 99% of people that mattered or are otherwise memorable have been gone for ages so I can't be bothered to elaborate.
at any rate, as much as I'm hopeful for some spontaneous resurgence of forums lke this, just know you're never forgotten, if only for the fact I photoshopped you eating snookie and we both worked at target (I think, or DC work at least). and stook ofc

my stint with this site was a lot shorter but same good memories definitely a fire ass forum

Pretty much echo all those sentiments. This place, skateboard com au (an Aussie forum) and the skateboard community in general taught me how to take criticism, and that it isn't personal, and not to take yourself too seriously. Particularly in the photo forums, I learned a fuck load from great photographers such as Brenz Brenz and a few other names I can't remember. Now you go on reddit photography subs and it's all positive and pretty much the most popular ones are just photo of skinny white women with their tits out staring blankly into the camera
i joined when i was 15 and im nearly 29 lol
xbox skate unlocked a memory too. just hours playing that game, i want to fire it up again. also half my contacts on xbox live were from here. always interesting going into an online lobby from australia when the lobbies are UK/US and internet was shit back then
i haven't really skated seriously since i was 17-18, but manage to hop on my old board every now and again. and i vaguely keep up with skaters on instagram, and follow a few nostalgic sites (mainly for shoes... es accel)
messageboards are really an underrated feature of the internet, a treasure trove of information. there's a subreddit for everything, but doesn't seem to have that deep niche knowledge forums did. for example if i want to google something about an old camera or some niche old car problem, 99% of the time it's some old geezer on a forum post from 2004 with the exact answer im looking for
y'all know where to find me

Most of us OGs come around now and then some never left.
I'm not allowed to post messages on any of the channels there for some reason, would be very cool if someone could figure that one out for me. I'm "Rando McFando" on there.

just realized i still have you eating snook snook so here you go again
I have gone years without logging in, and sometimes pop on here once a month. Similar sentiments here. I joined when I was 14 and I'm about to be 33. This site was definitely a huge part of my life for like ten years. Cool to see some OG names in this thread. Hope you are all crushing life.

I used to refresh the skate video forum every day hoping you posted a new clip, your skating, pennywise, others really kept me going.
posting this to see my join date…
edit: Damn, joined at 14, I’m 32, and honestly stopped actually skating at like 20 when I got too busy with college and work. Never stopped the culture though, still looking forward to skate 4 too.
I know it's been years in the making but I hope it's not some janky rushed-out game like some of those other skate games that came up a few years ago
skate 3 was one of the best ever

I played a bit of the leak and it was alright. I think it is coming along further than Skater XL or Sessions but it is also going to be EA free to play garbage. Will still play but yeah, not too hopeful.
thats the most nerd shit, yeah i played the leaks
Got engaged to my girl over Christmas and still living the dream. Its been a wild ride my friends <3

My guy! I actually also got engaged (a few days before Christmas).
Would be crazy if it turned out we got engaged to each other? I'm fairly certain that's not the case but still.

Touching post Fudopi, really enjoyed/empathized with a lot of the points you made. This place will always hold a special place in my heart, and I feel a twinge of nostalgia looking back on this place during the mid 2000s, we were all a bunch of kids. Love all you guys, and congrats White Trash.
