Solid Snake Designs... :(

[Ben]

Like most of the old design forums have gone down now. Tried to post there but ended up not bothering, starting posting in places like GH(something) designs and F1.

wow havent been on proboards in a few years...like everyone has been saying, people (from that 'era') just moved on from ssd and proboards altogether to carry on with their lives in the real world. instead of logging on every day, you'd check in once a week and eventually the activity died. the on going debate was who is responsible for the forums activity: the staff or the members. you couldnt really place the blame on anybody for the decline of the forum, it was just its natural course.

I had a short tenure as admin along with kay. then eventually the decision was made to hand it back to uc and the forum was put in MM. uc was one of the most brilliant people I got to know here and she had very logical reasoning for putting it in MM.

Artemis was truly talented at The Herald and kept that major asset of SSD alive almost single handedly til then end. so many other great memories but I don't want this to turn into a memorial service.

if i still had permissions on ssd, I would just leave it in archive mode. there were tens of thousands of posts that were hidden for whatever reason that should be public.... but what made that forum great was the caliber of designs from its members. some of the best work on proboards passed through the critique board, the photography board or coding board and I wish all that work could still be on display.

dx5, webaddict were two others i frequented. ahhh the good ol the days.

...who were you on SSD?

Ahh..

Anybody talk to Ollie anymore?

I was a moderator for the Introduction board for SSD back when they were using their version 3 design.

I remember Uchiha Sasuke, Invader Jello, and Nadim. Everyone wanted to learn PHP and make their own forum systems.

Good times.

Edit: I also remember a user who always had a Vida Guerra signature showcasing dat butt. Don't remember who though.. haha.

I just don't remember you being an admin with Kay:P.

Also, I always liked v2 more. And while we're throwing out old mods/members...

Version 2 had too much blue.

LightingFX had a great forum design.

You're all talking about SSD in past tense from just a few years back. It seems so much longer back when I first created that link with the initial help of Craig. Way, way, way back...

But there are some certain names bringing some ridiculous nostalgia moments, Zephyr, Ollie...

Yeah the skin generator set the benchmark for all generators really, but I do remember the first ever skin "changer" was created on a forum by ninety99, anyone remember him?

I remember it well. Good times guys!

I used to be a mod there. I still have a few people on Facebook like UC. Still occasionally talk to Ollie and drop him a text.

Hi people if you remember me! Mr Stabby here!

SSD was the first graphic forum I joined, though I wasn't a devoted member.

Zanmato and G101 was where I mainly hung out.

I do miss the old times. Nothing but RP forums now.

I dreamed of logging in last night.. I googled it today then and links brought me here. I remember it shutting down after I graduated high school and I was like, "Damn! Not when I just had all the free time of the world." But I had no choice. I joined several other forums after but nothing seems to top off ssd. That v6 was the most beautiful design and it is still. I joined ssd in v5 with Oliver as admin. Im friends with two members on facebook. We're just waiting (more like hoping) for it to rise again. I remember frequenting the cafes before going home from school. It was like something to go home to. I wish it could be alive again.

Graphic design was a tricky business, and I've always heard that name fly around.

Too bad it went to bed, really. /=

Aye! How did I miss this post?!

You were a general mod, right? I feel bad for not remembering.
