At the start of this month I turned it off to consolidate my hosting costs, given it being near enough 2 years since we merged - I still have some offline archives kicking around, but have no plans to do anything with them.

If by ONM being archived on SONM you mean the thread with links to the wayback machine, those are still (obviously) on the wayback machine.

But I have no idea how to access those threads as I never saved the links but nah, it makes sense. My brother makes websites as well and dang, hosting is expensive especially when there's no real need to continue hosting it

Hello! Whereabouts in Chicago? My partner is from there and we'll be moving there in a year or so if the country hasn't burned down.

Hello from Scotland!

Long-time Gamesradar forum member here from back in the Random Fury days. It's been a while! University happened, a (not very) brief afair with WoW took place, PC gaming ensued, followed by a period of not really keeping up with games. Then by complete chance I remembered about this place yesterday when I was playing through the Master Chief Collection and got hit by a wave of nostalgia recalling all the Halo 2 shenanigans from back in the day. I was browsing the board and saw lots of familiar names and avatars so I wanted to pop in and say hello.

Usernames, emails etc. have all been and gone (forgotten) since I originally joined, so starting with a clean slate. Hope everyone is well and it's great to see the community is alive and well.

The outskirts of Glasgow, but back in those days I was further north in Inverness. Which, to be honest, is where I woudl still prefer to be, but current circumstances (wife) say otherwise
