Hello, old friends.
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2011 5:30 am
Yes, this is the real me, the admin can contact be by email if he wishes, please contact me on the email I used to make this account and you will see it is indeed me.
I feel like I owe you all a bit of a story. Basically, once the old owner of SSM, toolazy2p, decided to call it quits, I took over the domain and the forum/database; in late 2007 I believe. I ran the website for a while, and we all grew into a close community, even discovering new ways of modding BF1942 so many years after it came out. In the late winter of 2009, I decided to give up running the website because I was busy with school. I sold the domain and the database to (whoever it is) that is running this website now. I realize that the transition may not have been smooth, and for that I do apologize about the past.
I am not back, however, I have given up online gaming and modding since that month of December 2009 when I gave up running SSM.com. I honestly had not played 1942 seriously since mid-2008. Does this mean I do not want you all to continue the BF1942 modding scene? Of course not. I only sold the website because I believed I was leaving it in good hands. I have not had the time to check the recent posts here, but I can only hope that you all are carrying on the BF1942 server side modding scene, which may have actually saved that game for many years.
I do have to ask, since I have not gamed in nearly 3 years now, including time when I was running SSM, what is the gaming scene like now in 1942? How many servers are there, and what is the general community like? I can't imagine there is a huge population of BF1942 players, and yet I hope there is. I made a pact years and years ago, perhaps in 2006, where I said that I would be the one to run the last BF1942 server if it was necessary, and I intend to uphold that promise.
I can only hope that my old friends at Moongamers.com will see this message. I will contact them soon enough, but for now I believe they are still running the top BF1942 server. And for that, the place I called home for so long, I do thank them. I know the founders over there are the right people to carry on this game. This game that was created in 2002. It is now the ending half of 2011, but I know there is a group out there that has a dedication to BF1942. And for that, I thank them.
I want this topic to go somewhere, so please, everybody who remember the height of BF1942 gaming, or SSM.com, or even just remembers my name, please reply! I want to start a good discussion about the classic days of BF1942. I mean, remember when we first figured out how to create invisible objects? Or spawn extra jeeps? Long before nitrous, long before custom sounds, long before so so so many of the mods. Just the fact that we could server side mod was an amazing feat of effort in 2003, and now all the servers are doing it. Remember your past.
And also, hello again, to all my friends. It's been a while. A hell of a while.
Your friend,
