Tulpa | 3,501 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Can we even still call it NintendoAge? It's all GoCollect branding with the old forum archives shoved down at the bottom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all still have collections and scanners etc. Besides a lot of the rarity info wasn't entirely accurate a anyways. I'd be happy to contribute if this happens. I can start taking photos of carts tomorrow morning if need be. Edited October 31, 2019 by Jono1874 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 8,884 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) I must say, I am surprised at the SPEED with which NintendoAge was burned into a smoldering pile of ka ka! The "GoCollect buys NA thread" in collectors' corner was posted on 5/24/19 and today is 10/31... 161 days to grind a 13 year old website into dust, impressive! Congrats Jeff, Jim, Mike, Tim and ACDubs! Pats on the back, cigars and a job well done boys! Edited October 31, 2019 by OptOut 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin532 | 467 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 It was obvious Dain was done with the website and collecting. He never posted anymore and he has kids now so they take up a lot of his time. I get it. But I can't help but feel like he kind of abandoned us. He didn't even say goodbye. Just took the money and ran AFAIK. Surly there could have been a way to keep NA up as part of the deal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countless hours from many members to keep the site running and many donations from lots of us to keep the lights on to only sell it, collect the money and run. Not even mentioning it to the mods. SMH, shows his moral compass. Fuck you Dain. (needed to vent that) 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH, shows his moral compass. Fuck you Dain. (needed to vent that) I gave money for quiet a while. Never really saw it that way. I mean how much money was being donated? I think it was kind of expensive to keep up and running. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Anyways, I was waiting for today to decide on if I contribute here or not. Welp, I’m heading over to the store section of VGS right now 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,405 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Wow, more than a decade there. I had no idea it was just going to be zapped and hastily rolled into GoCollect. I know the sale was the end of an era, but damn I didn’t realize how much of an end of an era it was. Thanks to all who quickly came together to bring up VGS so smoothly and bring everyone over here. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMR | 520 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but boy did they ever let me down. I don't understand. What was even the point of buying NA in the first place? I'm glad they archived the old forums, but they basically just started from scratch anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babywuchki | 14 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Holy f that site is a nightmare. They should have hired Gloves to make it. Honestly, even if he sabotaged it, it couldn't have been worse than what they have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
