The Internauts

[Peanut]

Well, if it hasn't been obviously apparent to everyone in here, this section has seen significantly less traffic in the last month or so. As a bunch of you in here already know, several of us have been hard at work on a project, and tonight it finally came to fruition.www.theinternauts.net

While this place has been a haven for me for closing in on 7 years, it's time to move on for good. I just wanted to say that I really do appreciate all the friends I've made on here, and I won't be out of contact. You can reach me at [email protected], or send an e-mail through the Drome. I'm sure I'll get it.

Also, we're still looking for people who want to write interesting articles on games, movies, tv shows. Whatever. If you think you're interested in it, drop me a line.

And with that, I move on, friends. Good day!

[AquaParade]

Goodbye Peanut, didn't know you well, but thanks for the video-game info every now and then.

[Cure]

I'll still be around, homies. Check our site, nonetheless!

[ThirdMarioBro]

The site looks nice. I'll pop over there from time to time. Build it up enough in a year and maybe we can meet up at E3 sometime in the future.


Great GTA IV review btw.

[gobo]

Best of luck to you on this. Farewell, guy.

[Machias Banshee]

I hate to see you leave, hun... But I'll definitely be checking in on the 'Nauts...

[Krang]

Nice site. Looking good so far. If you guys need any help with anything webmaster-related (such as setting up/writing server scripts or anything HTML/JavaScript/CSS-related), let me know and I'd be glad to help out.

However, I don't see why starting a new site would make it necessary to leave this one. There are many of us (myself included) who manage web sites, and we still find the time to stop by here and post. There is no time commitment required to be a member here, so unless that site takes up every second of your free time, couldn't you spare even a few minutes a week to stop by these forums?

As I've said in earlier posts on the same topic, I can understand wanting to take a break for a while, but I never understood the idea of leaving a forum permanently. It's not like you're under some sort of contract that requires you to make a certain number of posts per a certain period of time. You're free to visit as often as you like, and you're still a member here whether you visit once a day or once a year. It doesn't make any sense to permanently close off all options of returning in the future.

I hope you'll take what I said into consideration and rethink your decision.

[GK Punk]

Looks like an awesome site. I'll be sure to keep checking it out as it grows.

[Ra]

Man, just when I'm about to get my Wii too. :(

See you around man. I will definately been popping in on Internauts to see what you guys have been doing. It looks awesome so far, and I'm loving the reviews. :)

I hardly say a lot these days because of work and other stuff, but I always find a few minutes to pop in here and insult someone (or be insulted :))

[JameO]

I am available to write articles, I haven't been playing many games lately, due to work being over powering, but I will be available to write some articles on television or video games. That is if you want/need the extra help. I can also help with the website maintenance, I have some experience, and always willing to learn a new language. So if you need some a not so good writer, I am there.

[Mecha Cow]

Didn't know the site went up already, looking good. I'm done with school for the summer so I'm free to write stuff. If you need me, you know where to find me.

[JameO]

I can also do reviews for movies, I have watched quite a few movies lately, thats pretty all I have done in my spare time.

[Hannah]

Uhhhh... Damn.

[Sewer Bull]

Who's Candace? I recognize everyone else.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Internauts...nice. Like the site guys. I watch quite a bit of TV and Movies, so if you need more people for write-ups I'd like to do it.

[April]

Who's Candace? I recognize everyone else.

That would be me.
I'm Peanut's sister.

[Brodie]

I hate a lot of people here, so I'm not leaving yet.

[Dr. Doom]

Never thought I'd live to see the day.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

Watching Peanut leave seems so very... wrong. I know we didn't speak much (read: at all), but it'll be odd not seeing you around. I'm with Krang-- Do reconsider. Best of luck with the site, though! It's looking great (I really dig the layout)!

Just a guess, but I think this means he's not burning any bridges, Krang. You can't have an open profile here unless you personally close it, right?

[Tinuvielsdreams]

The site looks really great I know I will be checking it out. Good luck with everything!

[Peanut]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. And the offers for help as well. I should have clarified that I wouldn't be leaving ENTIRELY. I'll stop and pop in from time to time, I just won't be around like I've been for the past several years. When I wrote "move on for good" I meant to write it as if to say "moving on for a good reason". YOU KNOW ME!

Anyways, keep checking out the site if you're interested. Brodie and I are throwing a ton of time and effort into it, not to mention money. But just so everyone knows, I don't think there will be a community that matches what I've experienced with the rest of you Dromie's on here.

[That Matt Guy]

Uhhhh... Damn.

that's how i feel.

*shrug*

[Dr. Doom]

I never saw much need for announcing one's own departure. If I ever stop posting again you'll just suddenly stop hearing from me until I decide to return because I hate myself so much.

[Hannah]

I've done that, like, three times, and no one ever noticed. :cry:

[Krang]

Good, glad to hear that it's not permanent. Hope you don't mind, but I'll change the thread title to avoid confusion.

BTW, if you guys are interested in some sort of CMS to manage your articles, let me know, and I could code one up without too much trouble.

[Barkworm]

The site looks awesome! I haven't forgotten about you guys, I hope we'll talk soon!

A CMS would be great! It would really be a help when we start to collect a large amount of articles.

Also, everyone look out for my blog posts about games and Japanese culture. I'll also have a weekly feature about WoW for anyone interested in my take on the biggest MMORPG of all time.

[Dr. Doom]

Nobody cares what you think about anything. You're gonna scare everyone away!

[Peanut]

Just thought I'd drop in to let everyone know our first podcast (http://www.theinternauts.net/podcasts.html) is now available for download. It's just Ken and I in this one, but we're hoping to have more people on in the coming weeks. I'd appreciate it if you guys checked it out and gave us some feedback. We went into this without any planning, so I think we did good for our first go. I've never edited audio before, but I think I did a decent job of it. The original length was well over an hour before I finished with it.

Thanks, guys. Enjoy.

[Peanut]

I hate to bump a self-promoting thread, but we've finally done it, friends.

Our latest podcast has officially netted us our first piece of hate mail, and we're all so proud. If you've got some time to spare for the most ridiculous f*cking podcast of all-time, I suggest you check it out.

[Cure]

I feel so accomplished.

[愛]

Hate mail is all I really wanted. LOL

[Peanut]

Again, I hate to bump a self-promoting thread, but we just finished completely overhauling the site, so we'd like it if you guys took a look. It's not 100% complete, as I still have to put up our back catalog of content, and update it to fit into the new site structure, but everything current is polished off.

On top of this, we're looking for people who want to contribute. While we've normally get most stuff covered, there are always holes. And if you've got any kind of rant, or some idea for an article, we'd be glad to throw that up in our features section, as well.

[Mecha Cow]

Lookin' good, guys. I promised Cure I'd write a review for ya'll; hopefully I'll have some time to work on that tonight.

[The Stryker]

I'd like to help out but I doubt you'd want me dirtying everything up with my Watermelon and Fried Chicken.

[Peanut]

Minorities are no problem. Kevin is Mexican.

[愛]

We gonna start doing podcasts again? I'm ready to be racist and hateful against ugly people.

[Barkworm]

The site is great and I just noticed that the podcast won several awards!!! You guys are simply amazing!

[Cure]

Colombian, man. I hate you guys. :(

[Brodie]

I heard that guy was also a homo-mi-sexual.

[Mr. Snackpants]

I've been taking some multimedia design classes and we've been working with Flash. I could make some giant, annoying, roll over, flash ads :P
