OJ gave me some advice on making straighter lines and you gave constructive criticism about the sigs. I forgot just how long I spent working on the graphics for DE. And given all that time I still didn’t fix what you pointed out LOL
We chatted a lot for those years but I think it was a lot of gaming sessions and wasn’t necessarily about the forum happenings a lot of the time.
Smash 4 was 2014 so we’d been chatting for years by the time of THI. I feel like new orgs maybe just stopped making a splash in that period? A lot of orgs were just like ones that came before but with different coats of paint is how it felt around that time. But maybe that’s just me. Maybe Ground Zeroes was actually the best org ever.
I think most of Granin’s public stuff was scrubbed by Henry as that’s what his girlfriend was finding. Private forum stuff and org stuff was likely left as you had to be a member to see it which she probably didn’t know.
Tbf I don't think the orgs were the problem, the site just wasn't getting enough new users regularly enough and a lot of older ones were stepping away at the same time. Seems like some of those brand new orgs like GZ just grabbed as many newbies as they could instead of having a good selection to choose from.
Didn't know Granin's girlfriend was actively looking for his posts? Yikes, I thought he just feared she would. Although seeing him pop up even in MG threads isn't pretty sometimes lol.

Shyne was supposed to be defecting from TSF and making graphics for us. He ended up doing neither as TSF activity picked up a bit so I stepped up to the plate and made the DE graphics.
Damn, you just brought back some more MGSF memories. I remember struggling with the decision before going full "It's no good, I can't do it!"
You did great, having done a few rounds of org graphics I can agree on how tricky and time consuming it is, especially when you want to be done but can't get that last bit fully finished and having to draw a deadline.
I know it's personal and obviously not based on a good situation, but seeing that you were able to crash at Henry's for a time made me smile. Amazing to see that come from a webn forum.
