Welcome back, nice to have something decent to read again with familiar faces avatars. Soon as I get paid, I dont mind donating a few coins towards your costs, its a small price to pay.

:( No animated avatars.....

Woo! Welcome back, GBAtemp; you've pulled through with yet another regeneration.
Believe me, it can seem jarring, but you get used to a new body after a day or two.

Yay the Temp is back and better than ever!

Costello, I think your being too hard on yourself. There are some mega nerds who will do things like this to piss people off.
Oh and I loved the picture posted while the site was down, I laughed my ass off at the end!

The main thing I noticed is that the Wiki page links are currently broken; I don't know if the content is gone, or if the links have just changed.

Great job on the quick upgrade, and also thanks for writing such great import scripts!

It's good to be back.

XenForo will take some getting used to but it's great to be able to discuss things again.
This breach poses a bit of a problem for me specifically but that's just my problem.

... do you even know how this kind of shit works? If the security issue was in IPB then it doesn't affect people not using IPB, if the security issue was in the OS,then formatting and installing the latest version (with the fix applied) gets rid of it, etc.
I won't pretend I'm some kind of expert on web development, but I think I know what I'm talking about. Of course, removing IPB removes all security issues related to IPB specifically, but I can imagine that because of the time pressure, the new setup might still contain some other weaknesses. Especially if some code was written specifically for the site and was not part of XenForo or any other software package, the possibility of errors being in there exists.

I don't mean to be overly negative, but the fact of the matter is that GBAtemp has only recently been hacked because of security issues; I think it's only fair to be critical of their security policy now.

Glad to be back guys! I hope his new forum makes us better than ever. Also, I never realised how much I am on this site until I saw him many times I was on that page when it was down. Expect a donation for such a glorious site!

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
