Hello.
I guess we’re mutual followers of GT? I wonder how many of us here still regularly play GT?
Tits.
I haven't touched Gran Turismo since GT4. I used to think this forum existed for myself, Rob and billi to argue about religion.
Now it's just me arguing with billi about religion.
Then I gave up.
Afrika it is.
We’ve migrated thru so many different forums. I kinda doubt there are other groups as diehard as we were...
Of course, as time goes on and as users disappear one by one, whether thru natural deaths or sicken disgusts, surly this forum will also eventually die...
Thank God we occasionally have gf/spouse GTXFers around... so maybe someday we’ll actually have GTXFers/TNG?
God is good! God is good to us. End of argument.

Also if it wasn’t for Facebook I’d hardly see a lot of the regulars anymore.
So it’s not just the forum keeping us together, it’s the meta-internet of social media that acts as a sort of glue.
Yeah I keep in touch with a several people on Facebook that aren't here anymore, (including roofer). Plus people from other online places that no longer exist. I think once you get to know people long enough via the digital ether, then the actual medium doesn't matter. Not sure if what I said made any sense. People become intrinsically connected.
Kenji's old forum was the first real forum I ever joined. Been part of several others since. Comicbook Resources, Killer Movies and a few more. CBR and KMC were the only other ones I was really passionate about, but don't keep in touch with anyone in those communities. Don't even know anyone's real names. Only this one.
In the late-90's and early-00's I used to participate in ewrestling, aka efedding. Where you create your own wrestler and give him/her a personality by posting 'promos' in a guestbook. Your character would participate in fictional wrestling matches against other characters. The owner of the fed (the booker) would decide who wins in advance based on whose promo was better. That was known as a roleplaying fed. There were other feds that were simmed feds, where you give your character different skills and attributes and a simulator would decide the matches. Simmed feds were not very fair for people who were good roleplayers, as promos didn't have any impact on your chances to win. I much preferred the roleplaying feds, and started getting really good at it too. It helped getting my ass verbally kicked several times in this community (many years ago) by people like Nigel and Tofu R. Great material I could use on others in my promos. Got pretty good at it and won several 'titles' too. It was fun while it lasted, but honestly it was a great way to waste a LOT of time.
Anyway, the point of sharing all that is that I still keep in touch with a few people from those communities on FB. I don't know if people still do ewrestling these days. Have never bothered to look into it since I stopped. My interest in wrestling is at 0.0% these days.
Can't remember the last time I played any GT game. Probably a year ago. Probably GT6 against my son. Haven't touched it since. I likely won't buy any future GT games, mostly because I don't care for the car selection and especially the track selection.
