Mnementh; are you referring to Hus? Or Mike something? There were two major one's. I seem to remember that one of them was Dutch and the other Polish or somethig like that, anyone else remember?


OK, many people claimed the PS3 would dominate after ....

The guy I mean was from the US (I think), said he was 16 (at that time). He got banned one time, after that he was boring.


Leo-j? That's the only user I can think of who fits that description.

Edit; holy shit @ old Avinash posts; "If Wii launches in India and China I could see 750 Million easy"

Probably I mix up kwaad and leo-j in my memory. Because both have some elements of what I remember.

| the Avinash-prediction: OMG. I thin seeing the crazy prediction of JohnLucas and then seeing the Wii breaking sales-records, and at some point it seemed that JohnLucas wasn't so crazy at all, that may have get some people infected.

I don't know if it is because of sales are now damn boring (before new gen hits) but the site lacks same kind of passion as it had during old good days. There was crazy predictions like pretty much everyone have said in this thread and at least as far as I recall there were a lot more active users. Site really felt like community. I also somehow liked the old site design more. I came during the fourth desing (that white) and it's still my favorite. Of course nowadays site has more professional style and feel to it but the old one was great mix of professional but also amateurish style. It made the site feel more alive. Of course I also miss all the sales tools that we had back in the day. I would say also that one reason why site feels more boring is that during my days in the chartz I have grown from teen to a man. You just have more passion to everything when you are younger...

Whew. Barely escaped that other thread. Took an arrow to the knee, but I'm okay. Guess I'll stay here in this thread where men are free to live as they see fit.  They're mad with power over there!



It was horrible because I wasn't there.

Well... MBP wasn't there either. So there is a plus.

Yes, I fear they have gone too far over... over "there"... Come! Come and join us here, where men are free and civil - and apparently still with out females!
