to any guests that come here i guess (Read 3,116 times)

I got locked out of my old account, which is this one without the "2"
You're right that seeing the place dead causes people to not post. I almost did, just saw this thread as I was about to close the tab.

Been a long time, nice memories

[spongelevator]

it's a real shame, huh
though it does give us an opportunity to toss in a message and get a rare "dead forum conversation" going, which is very nice
there's been posts from five different members in the past two days so technically this is the most active this place has been in years lol
hopefully one day that mokou person who made this thread will return too
and then everything is complete

[Aeon]

woah, people keep popping in. at this rate the forums will be active again in a week
must be pretty weird to come back here after 4+ years to a single active thread, but i'm glad some good nostalgia is coming out of it.

yuuka is tough, can't blame ya for dropping out there. her master spark comes out way too fast even when i try to remember that it's about to happen

edit: first time gettin postsniped. fun

[spongelevator]

ok anyway yeah master sparks are damn fun to dish out because firing a massive screen-shaking laser beam is always a pleasure
but man they are not fun to take because now 1/3 of the screen is death
I'll get it eventually maybe probably

if this keeps up maybe head honcho will come home and the pain pill ads will be gone

[Viral]

Not to mention the PHOTOBUCKET banners all around ahahahaha
Touhou seems to indeed be ganing a new wave o popularity wish is defo p nice

[lazulum2]

Nice to hear, wouldn't mind participating in a thread again when able.

That Moukou, they're familiar. I could swear I have had at least one exchange with them back long ago. It would be a fun outcome if they did post here eventually haha

By head honcho, you mean Lunyred was it? I remember him vaguely, ran a net cafe in some south Asian country if I remember correctly. Wonder how he is these days.

Aeon
Yeah it's nice. Was up in the early morning, decided to check up on some old forums I used to frequent many years ago. Most were deleted, the others dead, this is the only exception really.

@viral
Yeah it was a different time where everyone used Photobucket because it was convenient haha

I should get back into a Touhou game myself, have some sitting on my shelves that I never got around to, some I never finished (particularly 幻想少女大戦夢). Or I could make a trip to a good shop I know in Akiba and see what they have when I have the time.

[spongelevator]

haha thanks for sticking around
it's quite nice seeing this place become a little bit more lively and also people who were here like 5+ years ago and saw the history of this place returning (and witnessing the photobucket and tinypic destruction lol) is really cool
DDdreamer's the admin right now because Lunyred retired, though if Lunyred returned that would definitely be something to see
in the thread where I saw that happen I think either Lunyred or someone else mentioned he had a myanimelist account named Lunyrem and when I went to see I think he was online like a week ago or something
it aint much but good thing he's still out there lol
it is very nice to have more people here and hopefully this encourages more people to post so there can be one less dead internet forum

[lazulum2]

Likewise, wouldn't be here now if there were no active users.

Ahh right, right, now that you mention it I remember that vaguely. Yeah I figure everyone is still around on some other part of the internet.

Yeah seeing some recent posts from the same month would definitely catch a guest's eye I think. I'll make a post somewhere else to liven things up a pinch.

[Aeon]

if wonder if the mokou person has email notifs enabled. if so, they're gonna check up at one point and see a couple dozen posts from a four year old thread.
and why not, i'll make a thread or two later. kinda funny that the chance of someone responding on these forums is probably higher than if i just throw something out on twitter

[spongelevator]

mokou was last online about a year ago around this time
so if we're lucky maybe they check this place yearly?
also I think 25th anniversary is not too far from now so maybe ZUN will say something about 17.5 or potential remakes? though I dunno

[lazulum2]

Aeon
Yeah maybe he does have notifications enabled haha
Or maybe he'll check back sometime, that's what I ended up doing afterall

I'll reply to a thread if I can. Just finished work and looking to relax for a few minutes before preparing for work and other duties tomorrow.

spongelevator
I am completely out of the loop, but if ZUN does a remake I'll hop on a train and pick it up. I'd be excited for that, the older ones such as EOSD are less accessible these days. The stores in Akiba even sell them for about half the price as a slightly newer title (TH11 and onward)

Good news for me, I've been wanting to get each game in physical form for a while now
Currently I only have IN tho ahahahah

[lazulum2]

@viral
To be fair, IN is a great one to own. I should get my hands on that one someday, usually I just buy the newest one when it gets released, although I have lost track now of which one is the newest haha

[Aeon]

i wish i could afford the physical games, but there are too many, and shipping can get costly. i've got a couple of the hifuu music cds and print works though, actually found forbidden scrollery at a local bookstore somehow

the newest games are pretty cool though, and if it's been a while since youve played em you gotta check out violet detector and 17.5. 17.5 is still a demo but its got some crazy graphics and a funky gameplay style, and violet detector may have a bit of jank but there are some pretty neat things you can do with the upgrades you get, esp. if you get the patch that rebinds teleport to c instead of double tap shift

[lazulum2]

Yeah I imagine shipping niche goods across oceans can get costly. That's cool that even at a local place you could find something, never quite know what they might have.


Just looked 17.5 up, looks beautiful.
I might head and pick a copy up when it gets released. I have often passed Akiba on trains when heading to Chiba, haven't had a reason to get off there in a while though
Don't know much about violet detector, might give it a look too when I have a bit more time.
