Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

Oopsies, how could I forget DP! :hmm:

FPSCentral was a nice site though, wish it were still around. I look foward to seeing where this merger brings TBF2 now though.

Ya I kinda worked for them I guess you could say....I never posted any news but I was part of their BF42.com Members Club and the FPS Central Clan...I got Free fast downloads :) but Gamespy was allways better

By the way whatever happened to Jermy? I allways used to [k n i f e] (not sure why thats **** out) him off by knifing him in matches

And Im sure GameWizard won't mess the site up by merging hes allways been cool even back in the day when we both worked for the BHD mod (which recently released FINALLY) this site is like the best BF2 site out there right now, and im sure its only going to get better.

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

i second what all the guys say. I play two MyIs tournaments 21CW (BF2) and Battle for the Galaxy (Starwars BF2). They do the business.

All i can say is i havent looked back, it has changed my attitude to gaming and ive met hundreds of good guys.

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

This is a good thing, it's just that people remember the FPSCentral burnup that's all.
Shifty, Jeremy has gotten married and his son is now born. He posts at Gotfrag on very rare occasions, but has basically left the internet pretty much to take care of his family.

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

I think it's more than just the FPSCentral thing (which I don't know anything about). Whenever a small company is gobbled up by a larger one, it's pretty typical for the users to have concerns. It's happening at del.icio.us right now, and it happend with Konfabulator as well. Those are two off the top of my head. And of course, we all know what happened to Dice =P

I think it's all baseless though. A quick look at those other sites show that they're all pretty much the same as this one; no popups etc.

I'm really interested in websites that are built around a community or one just developes around it's core. All the hype of "Web 2.0" aside, there really is a new cultural approach to how a lot of the internet works. And it costs money to make a really good online community.

I just recently became a member to this site, and am going to sign up for tweakguides.com because the forums there are like these. And I've been a member of iam.bmezine.com since the day it started. That one I pay $10 every 6 months for (but there are ways to get a free account).

I really can't see anything bad happening. Compare whatever fears you have to those sites from the first post in this thread.

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

I was staff on BF42 to AmpedDX merge, and it was hell, but I know the owners of MYIS and I am good friends with them, I know it will not end in what happen to FPSC.

I've been playing at 21st century warfare since Sept. 2003. They listen to the members, and try to do what is in the best interests of everyone.

Hearing that from someone not involved with either site is reassuring.

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

One things for sure, TotalBF2 is only working half the time now for me. Am I the only one getting errors?

We are in the middle of a moving the database to a new server. This issue will go away by tonight or tomorrow.

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

Ok, this is likely to become a bum deal for us users. Usually when mergers/acquisitions happen to good websites, they gradually turn into crap. Little by little, with every small "improvement"...
Anyone remember good ole' BF42.com?
That was a great site for BF42 news, extremely user-friendly, very popular by it's users, had a unique community of friendly non-noobs.
Then it's owner, "Acutus", decided it was time to take the site to the next level. It was sold to a guy called "Jeremy" aka "Summit".
With every "improvement" they made, more users decided to leave. More mergers/acquisitions followed, until it was finally part of the "Amped" company.
I don't think a single user from the old community still goes there, they all hated the new site, even though they told us it was getting better.

Some of the diehard fans of the old BF42.com site made a new community by the way, over at www.thebattlefields.com.

I hope this site doesnt get changed too much, and the new owners dont get greedy and start making the site unusable by ads everywhere...

i agree!!
Once a Commercial Company takes over a website, the users will be neglected.

im already frustrated about the fact that they list a few URL's which are acually NOTHING! only 1 or 2 good Sites. i fear the worst.

Cheap sites (mambo)with no content, loads of advertising and promises.
nothing really new. another scam for the gamers buck.

nope, im not happy with this.


here is my opinion on the MyIS network.

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

Greetings,
After all these months I had never created an account on this site, well today was my first day to actually play Battlefield 2! Its a great game and I have enjoyed the last couple hours of getting killed!

Ace101, DrunkenPirate, Spawndemon, ^Rico^, and GameWizard, you guys have all done a tremendous job with this site, I admire your efforts! It stayed the same, its maintained its quality, and has remained intact without a Wired Labs logo on the front page!

I suppose I am the infamous one who is charged with the single handed demise of fpscentral.com, I can however assure you it was not me alone. Its a shame such a great site turned out to be a total loss, however in retrospect the site was doomed on so many levels since its conception.

To all those who know me I had indeed left the internet dusty in a remote corner of my room. I replaced the constant squable with a great family, My son is now almost a year old and we are expecting a daughter this May. The family life has been great to me, I would not trade it for anything.

Well now that I have the game loaded in and a computer able to accomadate its needs I too shall join all of you in some great gaming, and some nice conversations here on TotalBF2.com.

P.S.
H4wk and phatmonkey, I don't have the old database its gone, please don't ask me for it.

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

Hey Summit, nice to see you're alive! Thanks for the compliments man, as you can see, I'm still a newsposting whore :p Hah but yea its a nice place here, so stick around and be sure to keep posting. It's a shame that FPSCentral did fall under, it really was a great site with a great community. I don't hold you responsible for it though, once Wired Labs got involved, it was doomed. Only thing I hold you responsible for is the missing money you promised me jk man. That's what we've learned, going too corporate is not always the best thing. Glad to hear though that you got out of all that E-drama and really started focusing on your family...great to hear man. I remember when your son was born, seems like so long ago. Best of wishes though and good luck with raising your family. I have my contact info listed in my public profile so feel free to hit me up.

As far as H4wk and Phatmonkey go, don't know if you know for sure, but they started up BFCentral again. You can find them over here: http://www.bfcentral.co.uk/

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

Well, I could never give up the big site/forums thing so I migrated here after BFL collapsed
Yes Spawn he has posted there a few times, we have gotten over the loss of the old database and are moving past it. What's lost is lost, so we will press on instead.
Good to hear from you again Jeremy. :)

Re: TotalBF2 Joins Forces!

That kind of thing won't happen here, i'm positive. This site is like no other.
