i miss planetquake

it was more than a gaming site too it had a pretty chill community

they gave me free hosting but i never did anything with it

if anything you can trace the history of 4chan back to planetquake because somethingawful got founded when lowtax got fired from gamespy, and 4chan is an offshot of ADTRW

I used to be quite active on gamefaqs back in the day but eventually forgot my password and the email I signed up with no longer existed. By that time I was mostly posting on a private board on internet buddies and here.

Used to write oot fan fic on the message board for the game. Same thing happened and I lost the login. Miss old school gamefaqs. YouTube seems to have supplanted it a little w watchable walkthroughs

Gamespy's Forumplanet had over a hundred abandoned/unused secret forums that I and others would conspire and raid from, we were probably responsible for accelerating Gamespy's death because of an exploit we found, kek

nah, once gaming shifts from client/server models with a master server to skill-based matchmaking, gamespy had no product anymore and they fired all their good writers so they had no way to pivot to just becoming a multiplayer focused gaming mag like ign or gamespot or something

it's too bad cause i was looking for some old quake mods and they're all lost media

>the ign forum still exists
What the fuck?

He's dead

I used to like Zelda.com and the Sonic HQ site. I also used Mega Man XZ and the Mega Man Home Page for those series.

Did you guys know that a lot of the original Japanese sites for Super Famicom and N64 games are still up and unchanged?

Posting in an AI thread but I'll give it a shot.
There was this site I have nostalgia for from 2007-2009? I think it was called Nintendo HQ or something like that, it had a blue background and would list games in order by console (first/second party games), had fun facts about each game. I wish I could find it again but I've looked and it seems to be lost.

N64: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/index.html
GBA: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/index.html

I'm talking around the first year of Steam before Gamespy really lost business and before the IGN buyout was finalized, there was a massive security hole with a sub-site called something like forumplanet.com/secretadmincontrols. A dude I was working with found it, duplicated the admin's (Tetsuo's) account, merged it with his own, named it Helios, and for about half a year had master control of the entire Gamespy network before we were detected. Forumplanet was shut down and replaced with a slap-dash alternate forum shortly after, which was around the time of the IGN buyout. Gamespy didn't totally go kaput until years later.

it was sega sages. then it became game sages when it became more popular. for a while it was the de facto place to look up cheats/game info. it got absorbed by ign.
