Tanooki | 4,932 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Yeah they're around, I got my N64 ultra modded too before VGS was up and running, or at least before I was aware of it at least. They do I believe also use atari age and a few other places on top of that shmup board mentioned so they do get their hands full with those group mod bundles and the rest.

I've been wearing my contacts for almost the exact same amount of time. I was in 4th grade when I started wearing them. I started wearing glasses in 2nd grade and I was by far the earliest in my class, and therefor the only one wearing glasses. My parents very rarely splurged on things back then, and I was extremely surprised they were willing to pay for contacts, but I was always thankful because to this day, I HATE wearing glasses.

Id say about a third of the active community is MIA, but in reality moved over mostly to Instagram and partially to Facebook. Shame really, I can tell GoCollect really just wanted to make a business out of the ordeal and didn’t realize the community was very tight knit...I personally place all blame on Dain himself for the splintering of the NA community and the loss of the NA Database, it’ll take a decade to replace just the Brazilian and Pirate section of the NES database alone. GoCollect might have disrupted things, but they’re just a business. I have no idea why Dain decided to piss in everyone’s cheerios. Dan is pretty heavily active in a few Facebook groups, some of which I think were both in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but (sob) Euripides has been dead for almost 2,500 years. Anyhoo, it says on NA he’s visited a couple of times since the handover, so I’m sure he’s aware of this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man he's on the shmup board. The batch I was in had people from shmup, reddit, NA, and Facebook. They do excellent work btw. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. Also @LaytToTheParty seems to have ironically letf the party early as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin | 198 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I think a lot of it just has to do with a lot of us are all grown up now and priorities are changing. I know I myself don’t collect as much anymore, saving up to buy a house and get married now. Also I think the collecting landscape has changed a lot. Hunting for games isn’t as fun or easy as it used to be. Most everything moved to Facebook groups, which I don’t really like the format to deal with buying things, and you’re lucky if you find anything for a good price on eBay these days. I’m gonna hold off for another 10 years when nobody cares about NES and Gameboy anymore and get things cheap. We have nothing but time in essence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't log in or post there anymore. Not that there was any sort of actual membership left, but the fact that the two most active posters were obnoxious trolls might have had something to do with it.

Tulpa | 3,492 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I knew that the purchase of NA wasn't going to end well when none of the mods or admins were notified prior. What a box of dicks that whole situation was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, The fact that Dain never reached out to you guys, and the fact that I still see his face in other high end collectors photos at dinner tables tells me that no matter how much money you offered him the answer would have been NO. Theres more to the sale of NA than just the sale of NA and some of Dain’s rare collectibles and integrity as a community leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
