Me too, who was in charge of that one? And why did it even exist? Did someone throw a huff?

I'm really quite glad there is no archive of PoopGang, they had a blog section where I'm sure I posted the most cringey existential I hate myself teen adolescent nonsense. Now I have other people to hate me so I don't have to. :datass:

GOASPVG might have been a rudderless venture, not entirely sure.

PLAYSona was another off-shoot. Run by invincible, I think.

Snipermonkey, Gumufi (Guffiam), Wakinglimb...

Goatsepig was a Cobra venture, wasn't it?

Wakinglimb!!!

I was definitely stoned most of the day during the waking limb era so I quite agree on that.

Yes so it was, he pulled the trigger on replacing GR too early as GR was still around but going through purple/ad gate?

But didn't he try and get it to be all serious EDGE type discourse instead of the childish roots we all have.

Refresh my memory please, I remember that at a certain point there was a mass exodus from GR and lots of spin-off forums were created, but I cannot remember what caused it?

Ad-gate was when we found out he had plagiarised those Christmas songs.

Goaspvg - Getting old and still playing video games. I had forgotten all about that place. It was the relatively unsuccessful precursor for this place.
