I took a backup of the strategy forums way back when. I never posted it because I figured one of the guys who said they would do it would do it - the bystander effect got me good.

Navigating between pages in a thread is broken, but all of the pages are there so you can navigate by typing the correct URLs directly in your browser. If someone wants to fix that then knock yourself out. Most of the strategy guides were moved to here but the threads are short and still worth a quick read if you're learning a game or want to check for any tidbits that you may not know about.

Thanks

Yeah, my point was that even if opening posts were moved here, there might have been some useful addition in following discussion.

edit:
How do you read those files? I open html pages and they show me "please log in"

edit 2:
Sorry, my bad - looks like you need to start with default.html and navigate by clicking links, instead of launching other files.

p.s. so they didnt have doj thread? or i have bad vision :)

Yeah sorry, I forgot to mention you start by opening Default.html and then navigating to the Strategy section.

I was surprised after looking over this again yesterday but there's less strategy threads than I remembered there being (including the lack of a DOJ thread like you mentioned). There may have been some talk in the other boards but I only ever saved the Strategy board unfortunately.

Yeah, can't seem to post or send messages yet but boy am I excited!

The nostalgia is real when I read the for sale threads and a Ketsui kit is $650 and a DFKBL kit is 1200...

The flip is strong. They'll be assed to actually play a game instead of putting it in a glass frame.

Same. I thought I might just have been banned, or maybe I never had an active user to begin with. I might have only ever used the forum for digging through the sales threads :P

I wonder if EOJ knows that he's the only one able to post there :3

Just curious, other than the wealth of information already archived there, what does the CAVE STG forum have that this one doesn't?

certainly memories and I guess...members that won't exaggeratedly and repeatedly shit on cave games and call people who have the gull to like their games dumb fanboys or whatever?

(well for now at least, I just hope the hate won't spread)

The main advantage of the forum is the smaller community, so that you have fewer young people who constantly shitpost ten times a day.
