Anyone else having problems with Gone Gold?

[warning]

If its truely the end of gone gold, then good bye my friends.

I tried to log on to http://www.robmerritt.net/ and can't connect.

If its truely the end of Rob Merrit, then good by my friend.  *sniff*

[GuidoTKP]

Heh.  Figured I'd reserve my screen name ... just in case.  ;-)

[warning]

Whew it works.  I was getting worried.  www.robmerrit.net that is.

[Blackhawk]

Reserving my name before some ne'er do gooder takes it for purposes untoward.

Does this mean I have to start all over with getting enough trader feedback to top Whiteboyskim in the W's? Crap!

Prepare thyself WBS! Bring it!

Hahhaa...it does bring up a good point.  I'll extend the feedback ratings here should that need come to pass.

If you decide to do so, let me know.  I have the master feedback list, minus the most recent couple of pages (I am past due on updating).

[Gravity]

Well, I have been lurking over there for years and I have made the migration.   I hope it is just a technical issue.

To everyone that is just now coming in, here is the short and sweet of the rules: Keep it civil, and respect one another. For the rest you can read the House Rules here and pay attention to them. Unlike the "flexible" nature of the GG mods, the Powers That Be here do not screw around. Be respectful, play nice with the other kids and have fun, and you'll be fine. Thank you.

Kahless is banned. I don't bother to send letters...he's just done.

Badmouth Rich again. I'll show you the door. First and final warning.

Don't get the wrong impression. I don't rule with an Iron Fist or anything akin to that. I just don't have tolerance for certain things, badmouthing Rich being at the top of that list.

Wow. I can't tell you the number of warm fuzzy feelings I got from all of that.

Seriously.

Well its a sad day. Now we will find out how much we really miss it.

yo falc! Now go post somewhere here your thoughts on Medieval Conquest!

[Mr. Fed]

Vegetable Man reporting for duty,  I hope GG's not gone for good.  

Btw, anyone know what forum Mr. Fed and the few other posters who left went to when they quit visiting after gonegold?

Hmm.  www.tookmyballandranhomeweepinglikealittlegirl.com, I'm told.

Also www.popehat.com :wink:

This looks like a very nice place, though.  Maybe I would have posted here before if I had owned a console more recent than an Odyssey II.

[RunningMn9]

Dammit! I'm a newbie again!

YOU are complaining about being a newbie again?  I am in danger of seeing 11,000 posts head off into the digital ether.  

The poor bastards running PopeHat are going to be in trouble if GG is gone.  Or the poor bastards running Console Gold.  

[Anonymous Bosch]

Never fear, Hiro's here!

HUZZAH! The clarion call for bizarre venereal analogies has been answered!

[AgtFox]

This looks like a very nice place, though.  Maybe I would have posted here before if I had owned a console more recent than an Odyssey II.

Like I said in earlier posts here, we welcome PC gaming talk and if the rumors of GG death's prove true (hope not) we would probably open specific PC forums and try to somewhat create the same setup as GG has.

[Knightshade Dragon]

Bring it....newbie.  :twisted:

[Devil]

Wow - I step away for a few hours and everyone's here!

If Trent shows up I'm gonna have to leave.  :wink:

I think we need a bigger boat.

[noblues]

Another GG stragler, paddling to the island.

I know how much I'd miss the old place if it ever goes away (still thinking positive here).  Don't post much but I've gone to that site just about every day for the past few years for game reviews (new and old and very old), recommendations (hardware, software, music, celebrity dating, etc), humor, controversy, and so on and so on....

Keeping two fingers crossed for its continued existence, and two more for Rich.  oh, and thanks for the refuge.

So that you can make PC games the red-headed stepchild that console games were on GG? :twisted:   Reeeeevenge! :wink:

[Raven]

Hoping the best, prepared for the worst.

PS, I take it that this site is completely separate from GG, and what happens to one does not happen to the other?

[Knightshade Dragon]

That is correct Raven.  We are on a totally different server and under completely different management.

Yeah, they moved to seperate servers awhile ago.

Knight--sorry for stepping on your Rich toe.  It's cool if you are friends or whatnot, just, if you're running this place "as Rich would have wanted," I'm going to go ahead and abandon ship.  Actions "in Rich's name" ruined Gone Gold, and I'd hate to see it happen here.

That link doesn't seem to be working either...

[Torfish]

Finally, I found where most of us migrated.

I really hope GG isn't dead.  I already miss that place.  Almost like losing a good friend.

[RunningMn9]

Never fear, Hiro's here!

Did anyone else have a record day of productivity at work?

I actually got so involved in work, that I worked late.  Curses!!

If GG is truly gone, that is just miserable.  I'll have to start over with my Quinnian nonsense somewhere else, with no 10 page threads to link to...the horror.

Fuck it, it'll be easier to just stop being a Quinnite.

[Raven]

The GG traders forum had everyone's rating.

It would suck if that information was lost.

[Knightshade Dragon]

No need to leave Ebonstone.  I just won't take anyone badmouthing Rich.  We might differ on our management styles or anything else for that matter, but I'll step up to the mic and say that I appreciate him and what he has done for the industry as a whole.  At the end of the day though, its my name at the bottom of the check, if you catch my drift.

[Knightshade Dragon]

That information isn't lost Raven.  If it comes to it, I'll bring it here.

[The Meal]

Vegetable Man, isn't it time for your triumphant "outting ceremony" yet?  RM9?!?  Mr. Fed!!!  C'mon.  Sheesh.

What would have been great is if I was smart enough to take Smoove_B's name here, and let him be RM9.  But alas, I'm not that smart.  

[SuperHiro]

Man I hope U2K and the Red Man make it.

U2K is a sig MACHINE.

And I was only 200 posts away from 3000. DAMN IT

[jblank]

So, where is the R & P forum? The debate is on and we need a thread. :wink:

[raydude]

Oh, so THIS is where everyone went!

Well, at least I don't have to be the 29th raydude signing in. I can just be raydude .

[Rob_Merritt]

No need to leave Ebonstone.  I just won't take anyone badmouthing Rich.

I took the Bernie post more or less slagging on Andy and Steve than Rich. And hey, Weekend at Bernies was a funny movie.

[Blackhawk]

The GG traders forum had everyone's rating.

No, I had everyone's rating, save for the past couple of weeks.  It is safe and sound on my hard drive.

[Tareeq]

Now it can be told, Superhiro.  You were right.  The Red Man was me.

MR. FED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your insight will be more than welcome here, old friend. Glad you at least signed up.

For all the newbies, the forums here are a good place to hang your hat. As we've only had a few dozen guys posting at any given time it's not been the liveliest at times, but it's steadily grown. All are welcome (except that Kahless tool) so by all means enjoy it.

RM9 - all we need is someone to get Smoove_B over here and then we can all kick back and relax.

[whiteboyskim]

So, where is the R & P forum? The debate is on and we need a thread. :wink:

Exactly why we're not having it. As my boss at work loves to say, "Build a bridge and get over it."

[Raven]

Wow, only my third post, and I'm already going to spout off with suggestions.

Feel free to toss R+P into the dust bin of history. It only seemed to bring out the worst in people.

Bah! Cant have GG people with no Political discussion. Thats like having a baseball game but the players dont have any balls or bats.

My runners have already been dispatched to bring my gentler half to this pleasant island.

[Sam Hell]

Well, on the bright side, I finally get a chance to dump my stupid "MacHinE" moniker from GG.  

Really, really sucks to see it go.....but life will go on, eh? I really am surprised that there was no official word of it's demise. That kinda leads me to believe that there is a server problem. I can't believe they would just pull the plug without so much as word to us.
