Must say I miss IGN. Shame that right when I log back on, everything is about to change. Hey guys! What's up? Awesome to recognize so many usernames after all this time.

This is about what I expected would happen to this board when IGN changed.


IGN is dead.

GTA folks, you guys need to come to the forums I escaped to. IGN had their chance these last 2 years and they've blown it spectacularly.

And wow, the CT can't be transferred to the new boards?

That's pathetic.



Truly the end of an era.
You guys are welcome at the new place. There's not a GTA board, but there's a half decent community.

Come on over if you're sick of IGN.

My last post in the biggest most epic thread of all time...

*sigh* I will miss this thread. The GTA board isn't even transferred over to the new one yet and all we have is lots and lots of spam. Truly a horrible way for this board and thread to go out, forgotten and pushed on to the second page due to the spam.

You know, I kinda want a post on the last page of this thread.

I have a post on the first page, I have the 500,000th post in the thread... It's only fitting that I bookend it as well.



Farewell GTA board and GTA CT.

All you nerds need to come to dayonepatch and hang out with us [face_tongue]

Good time to drop in, I can't believe this threads being locked, as sad as it is to say I've had some really good memories from a internet forum, I truly have. It's sad to see this exodus of old regs as well.

EDIT:
Guess I'll say a bit more if this is the last page / post in this thread.

I wish the best to all my old friends from here, and I hope that one day we'll all have time to play some GTA together. (GTA V online free roam?) I also hope that everyone returns to the boards when GTA V releases.. Please everyone, lets make this board what it used to be back in the golden days. I don't think it's too late.

It'll be reopened once the glitch is fixed. This is IGN's largest thread. I'm sure they'll find a way to archive it or what not.




Can't wait until this spam bot crap is cleaned up tomorrow.

Not until the board moves. According to the mods, it'd take hours to do this. On the new boards it would take less than a minute.

Wow, haven't posted in the CT much but I would hate to see it and all the regs go. Hope they can fix the glitch and get it moved over.

Guys, this is not the "end of an era." I'm all for the emotional attachment that comes with this thread too, and I'll be sad if there's some kind of way that it can't eventually be imported (definitely not any time soon). But the new board system? That's AMAZING. It's fantastic. Many IGNers are already over there and loving it. When's the last time the community said they loved ANY of the changes that have happened to these boards recently? Exactly. IGN is doing it right this time. They have an engineering staff of 30+ that are working on all different aspects, to make sure that it's what the community wants and expects. It's full of awesome powerful features, both for users and mods alike. No more needing a firefox plugin - YouTube videos can/will embed directly into posts. Better poll options (ability to keep results hidden, ability to have a multi-select poll), the list goes on.

And the spam stuff here, that literally would take me the majority of one day to clean up at this point. And... I've got a day job. But on the new boards, it's three clicks and not only is a spammer banned, but their IP is banned and ALL of their posts are deleted. Bam. Done.

So yeah, I get that it's sad about this thread. But seriously, if you haven't yet, check out the new boards - http://www.ign.com/boards/ - They're looking fantastic and I can't wait to hang out with you guys there.

Amazing that this thread is still up and running...a far cry from what it was when I posted here a few years back, but it's still here. This entire board is one giant mess.

7 years ago this board would have left a mess in the front of my pants, now it represents the mess in the back of my pants.

So apparently tonight is the night, eh?

In that case, that's it for me. IGN2 has nothing I want. It's not the forum I signed up for a decade ago.
I may lurk come GTA5.


Until then...

It's been nice knowing all of you.
This place will always be my home.

But wait - can only mods post here? Any non-mod around and can post?

EDIT: Ok, someone showed me a screenshot of what it looks like for a non-mod in the thread. Shows a message that says something to the effect of "Sorry, you can't reply in threads that are longer than 15,000 posts.

Crazy.

No way - post board upgrade can non-mods post in here once again?

EDIT: Apparently so, haha - I'm not a mod any longer and I just posted! This. Changes. Everything.
