    Might have something to do that its 10:30pm on a school night in central America and its 5:30am over in Europe.

    I still routinely see 300-500 people online during peak hours.

    Hey Sunfire, I have been back after a break of a few months myself, and I have to agree. The numbers are the same, just not as many posts. Maybe it will pick up soon, who knows ^_^

    I haven't been here in over a year and I noticed it died down a lot compared to how intense this site use to be. I loved it until a lil mistake got me banned quite some time ago. But it is still alive and doing decently well. But a couple years ago this site was amazing.

    Strange how everyone who talks about how active the site used to be, don't recognise the names.

    --- tip you can asked to be unbanned after 3 months.

    also, ban evading = BAD

    I did stay within the renders areas/forums back then., so that might be why you dont recognize me broken.
    I wasn't much into the spam/general forums areas back then
    it seemed to me that every time I would go into them, there seemed to be some member going off on another member, or if I did post, the following day I would have to look for my post under my control panel/posts- just to find the topic because it was already buried by other topics..

    Based on your join-date you weren't really around during the 'Golden Age' of GR anyway.
    Nobody bitched at anyone, early 2005.

    Was good, and free resources were one of the huge reasons it worked so well.
