That's the same day Skykid and Gaijinpunch were revealed to be the same person.

When that kind of thing happens, it's usually spambots.

You're reading the whole forum including almost a decade old threads, you checking the forums stats and you probably doing more things I don't know about... Is there a reason for that? Why are you so fascinated about this place? Is there something you want to know but are afraid to ask?

There was another time like 1/3, close to seven years a'fore. I was new then, a kid who thought the shmups community was about these fun games where you dodged bullets and shot baddies. A happy idiot.

On a certain date a month later, nothing happened... on the surface. To guests, it was business as usual. To the more unobservant forum-goers, too, or to those with the sense not to put a credit in that arcade cabinet in their skulls, the one whose attract mode is so appalling, so enticing.

From everyone else, there was a communal act of hate. An outpouring of atrocity so intense that if you'd told me it came from a demon's asshole, I'd laugh, because it was nothing so sweet. A billion murderers could have shit all the badness out of themselves in that one bloody bowel movement. I thought shmupsforum was purged after that - purified - but a few months ago, I was proven wrong. A few months ago, it was even worse. There's no satisfying them.

"Them," heh. Us.

If you know what's good for you, you'll be gone before The Time loops around again. You'll be on the other side of the Earth.

The day the Progear XOR table was announced.

Then not released.

Then the bitching that ensued.

Then released.




Sorry. Just rehashing days of infamy.

Resogun fans found the site, then left, because Cave's games have archaic graphics, and are too hard.

No they aren't. All you have to do is make yourself immune to purple bullets and watch out for blue lasers.

black man.txt partial manifestation event. You know - goat orgies, pictures of old women's faces, thumbs buried to the knuckles in eye sockets, the usual antics that occur when some unlucky soul tries to decrypt the accursed thing. Those weren't a thousand seven hundred human beings onsite, you naive child!
