My fellow Vizzers:

First of all, I would like to thank you all for keeping this memorable community active. You have no idea how much it means to me about seeing memories being made here, even though I have to admit that I wasn't around long enough to witness it.

I know that I haven't been active for nearly a decade, but many other things and interests (i.e.: career pursuits, domestic obligations, personal tribulations, etc.) have somehow taken up so much of my time that I haven't had the chance to enjoy the halcyon days of this place. And for that, I deeply apologize for not being there sooner.

But that's all in the past, now. And I intend to make it up to you guys by trying to be more active in forum discussions and site contributions. It might not be easy while the proverbial not-too-full plate on my hands comes to mind, but if racking up higher scores in arcade games and inputting screenshots like in the good ol' days is what it takes for me to relieve the sense of nostalgia as a means of closure, then so be it.

I will strive to do more here, provided that my work-life balance maintains a proper equilibrium. Even better yet, I might be working on a hobby project sometime in the foreseeable future.

To anyone (if not everyone) who reads this thread, thank you very much for your patience and understanding. And I hope to do what I can to help bring Vizzed to its former glory.

This is definitely an interesting scenerio. You did unfortunately miss this site in its prime but I have hope that the site will eventually get close to those glory days. With attitude like yours, it could someday happen.

Honestly, your post is motivating. Hopefully it inspires others to want to contribute to the site.

Welcome back

Davideo7 : Thanks, David. It may be a modest re-welcoming committee, but I'm quite glad to be back.

Now, if only I could try to get the RGR plugin to function on one of my browsers in order to compete for the highest score on Pac-Man for the Atari 2600...

As an admin threads like this really reminds me how great the Vizzed community is when someone returns who missed out on the glory days much like I did and to see Vizzed still means a lot really just reminds me of how much it means to everyone.


Emperor Quintana : Welcome back

My thanks, SonicOlmstead.

And now, as soon as I have a brief moment of reminiscence in these hallowed halls, we could figure out how to make Vizzed as popular and memorable as it once was back then.

Perhaps some guerrila marketing and meme culture might be taken into suggestion?

Welcome back, I made a similar return here a couple years back, and have been keeping active since, as I feel I owe this place a great debt for helping raise me.

You can definitely see the changes and wear around here, but I agree that it's incredibly nice everything is still intact. There was an incident about a year back though that scrambled some posts, and actually made them hilarious to read. Largely, a number of posts were assigned to random users, and so in some cases they even replied to themselves.

I think more marketing could do the place good, most internet goers nowadays aren't familiarized with it, and seem to assume it's a virus site when I bring it up. However, the main draw always was the RGR, and most people agree that takes priority, even with easily accessible, high usability emulators existing for download nowadays.
