It's a forum full of little kiddies, but there are always people who make it worth being there. And I'm a rayman fan of course.

The forums aren't crappy at all, it's just the lack of maintenance, which is a pity.

To tell you the truth I wasn't exactly the oldest at RZ. But in fact one of the youngest. On the other hand, Rolesfamily was there (who was 10, and quite a n00b of course). His sigs really made everyone laugh. It was so funny when he posted a signature topic in FW and it got locked. :lol: And then there was the time when he created a Rayman 3 Quiz, which was unsuccessful too. He also cheated to get his rank to his famous Razorbeard, just to look like some oldie. Rolesfreak really made me laugh. :D Of course, there are other members his age, but he was the biggest n00b. And I think Guest is correct. We need to prepare for the RaymanZone's come back. I still have got some of the old Rayman 3 Solutions saved onto my computer. The RaymanZone won't be having many members, mind. Well, not as many as last time. When TK (was it?) made the big delete of half the posts, half the members left. He was then demodded. Just think what this is going to do to all of it's members. I doubt RZ will ever reach the standards of post that the Pirate-Community has. And even if it does, what can we expect? Some more sh*ts that have nothing to do but hack some inocent pleasant forums? This time I shall hope that the retarded Ubisoft crew bother to save the database onto their lousy computers. If they don't, perhaps I should get a bit lousy with them. I am really fed up. This is the second forum I have seen hacked, and both relatively at the same time; the phpBB.com forums got hacked about 2 weeks ago by some gays who need a life. Shame on them. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ARZO crew. If only I could get the link to the ARZO forums, I think they deserve what they do. Undoubtably the ARZO have invaded other inocent and highly active forums. It's just so unlucky that we have to have Ubisoft as our admins. To say the least, I'm not surprised the RaymanZone is hated by many users here at Pirate-Community, Hunch, Hendrax, Blackorb, and many more presumably. But that doesn't mean the forum must get hacked! The RaymanZone had many topics which could not be replacable or done again. Imagine how much work the RaymanZoners spent working on topics. I am deeply greatful to specific members who try and make the RaymanZone a better place, and wish them a happy future. I was very devoted to the forum. It's just a shame I couldn't have been there when it got hacked by ARZO. Having said this, the forums were dieing a slow and painful death, as Block puts it. He's quite right too. What can we expect? N00bs, spammers? The occasional member who posts more than 5 fricking messages? Spammers like mull, InuYahsa and Diablo-Ray totally wrecked the forum for others. Goldfist spammed when he was quite new I expect, but he managed to redeem himdelf. Spammers were partly the reason so many people at RaymanZone left. I just hope that this does not happen for the new RaymanZone that we can expect some time this month.

Now I'm sorry for making such a long speech, that is just what I think.

In reply to Spaceray:

That's quite right. Especially the bit about people leaving because of the spammers. It's sad to say this, but the 2003 mods were simply not strict (i suppose they were capable, but never showed it strongly) enough, judging by how many vets left the board after the 11th of October, and stuff.
We'll see how the beginning goes when I'm a mod... I'm curious what the difference will be.

Anyway, do you really have the solutions Block and me made? I actually wasn't planning to post them again when the forums came back, though. It's because they're obsolete. One of the solutions indicates a score of 30000 points less than the improvements I made together with the other masters, so it isn't that useful. Still too far-fetched for newbs though... :lol:

Talking about Block, I haven't heard anything from him anymore for a few weeks now. I wonder what happened, he always used to come online in the evening, after he just had school... but I haven't seen him on MSN in over a month. I hope nothing bad has happened...

I have the solutions only because I put them onto another board. (I gave credit obviously) If you want to make improvements to them, go ahead. I just thought having solutions unimproved still might help those who are struggling. :)

And the mod buisness sounds right. It's probably because UbiRazz or whoever the admin was then didn't visit the boards enough to see who is capable to become another mod.

I'm not too bothered to improve the solutions anymore. I'll have to rewrite them, cause trying to change the scores after every step will take ages, and there's a 0,00001 chance nothing goes wrong when I do so...

I think the forums are quite happy with the solutions you offer at the moment. I mean, I can't do hardly any of those combos. My score is only 620,000.

When you reach a score of 750000 points, my solutions will be useless. Though I'll be there to give some good (but frustrating) tips, and you'll be having 800000 before you realise it!

Not many people will reach a grand total of more than 750,000 points though I don't think.

Patience is all you need. Well, also logic of course.

Not for that, just because you quoted Jona's post like if it was the only truth and everybody had too agree with it.

He is purposely doing it. :)

And Hunchman, all I was doing was stating my opinion. It's a free country, it doesn't mean everyone must think the same thing.

But I heard you can receive them and give them away, that's why I was wondering.

If he removed them he'd get less...
He could only remove them if they were donated.
