In all seriousness, I still wish this community had taken off in the same way the Doom community had, if only for the chance to try out more fan-made scenarios. I know I haven't done anything to contribute here, but I do frequent this place often just to check up on new activity. My desire to create a few maps is still strong, but my drive has always been severely lacking.

I don't really care much for the idea of modernizing this series though, for the same reasons I prefer not to use any HD plugins. Updating the tools would be cool, such as the larger map size that was previously suggested. Glaring flaws aside, if one more memorable scenario could come out of this fandom before it all withers away, I think I'd be content... maybe. Such is life.

Rokyo damnit! It's Rokyo! He's an admin, isn't he (at least I think he is)?

He's not leaving. As you can see in the screenshot irons posted, Ryoko made his post in 2009 and he still hasn't left. Recently irons bumped the thread while quoting Ryoko's original post as a joke or something, I don't know. Point is Ryoko's isn't leaving, and why would he when there's so much this sph'orum has much to offer.

Remember when I said a moment ago that I didn't really take irons seriously because I had better things to do? Yep, I take it back. Now I REALLY want to kill him!
Regardless I stand by my word, nothing really goes on here. We need to (or at least should) fix that.

Well at least you called me an ass for no reason. You're becoming everything you hate.

Considering the fact that you where the one who bumped Rokyo's thread, I think it's still fair to conclude you're an asshole.

Well first of all, I'm not sure how bumping a thread makes someone an asshole, but you really aren't good at noticing details, are you? This is all really fascinating to observe.

If this goes on -
Is there a chance this topic could qualify for Legends?
I just play 'em; I don't know how they work.

Ironically I have OCD, & I'm very obsessed with little details. I guess after a while though you get used to threads at the top of the list being the new ones.

NO! This thread should be deleted & moved to the archives area. Treellama, be a pal and do that please.

I just want to hide my shame so iron doesn't constantly use it against me. Just want this thread forgotten.

Take it from me, the stupid things you say on the Pfhorums will hang around your neck until the end of time.

What about the thread where you keep spelling Rokyo's name incorrectly?

I'd like to ask "which thread is that?" but I'm afraid you'll post a link to it.

Err...sorry Ryoko. Could have sworn your name was spelled "Rokyo". Out of curiosity, how'd you come up with your name?

The background of my name is, in fact, too boring even for this thread.

Come on, just tell us already. If it's boring enough maybe it'll scare away irons.

When I was a kid I watched Tenchi Muyo and picked the coolest sounding name, and then I put TK on the end for a reason that I actually can't remember.

Hey, Irons has a serious phobia of boring stories. It's really not cool to bring it up.
