I too would like to echo a big thanks to Brian, cool matty, helpers, and the community in general for making massassi such a great resource, and community.

I too like many lurked, and did not really post in the forums. Always sad to see an end of an era, but I understand why.

While many sites have died, or been abandoned. Massassi has continued on. For that I am forever greatful many levels, mods and resources have survived. Awesome work guys, and lets see massassi make it to another 25 years in some type of form :-).

Wow, looks like I checked in just in time to post something.

Massassi was my internet homepage for years and years. I recall reading absolutely everything on the website - tutorials, articles, level reviews, etc. Until finally I clicked on the forums and discovered the whole community (I didn't even know what forums were). For several years I probably logged in every day to read and post.

I guess it makes sense to shut down, there's really nothing going on anymore. I always enjoyed checking out the showcase forum, and also posting in the Neverending Story and The Spooky Taco thread. The Massassi forums were a big part of my life growing up even though I never did get the hang of editing JK, and it's nice to see so many old timers coming out one more time. Hope you guys all have a good life. I might see you in the discord, but I don't really log in that much.

Hey, just a thought - would anybody be interested in setting up a new forum where we could all chat and keep the connections we've made? It doesn't have to be a big thing, could be just something small. I don't have any social media and discord doesn't really work for me, I like the old-school forum approach where you can drop in and read threads when you feel like it.

While perhaps not quite the same, folks are more than welcome to use The Plothole's general Discussion Forum board for such things if folks are looking to scratch the forum itch. You can find a link in my signature below.

With 3 days left, there's still time to remember how before I got Sarkeesian'd years later, at one point the forum colors commemorated my wild antics:



(Yeah, yeah, I know I already made my "last post", but then I remembered that 17500 isn't divisible by 3, so I've got one more chance for a post left after this one)

Forum archive delayed again, new target: August 1, 2023.

I see how it is, you're just threatening us so everyone comes back

sometime in 2024 would be better

Wouldn't it be easier to close the forum to prevent new posts from having to be exported and post the static archive afterwards?

I would have done that but there doesn't seem to be a way to close it for posting but keep it up and readonly. I guess I might be able to just mass-disable posting privileges for every account. Will look into it later.

If there's only a function or two that adds the content, might be able to change those to "do nothing" as another hack.

I know the date keeps changing but do we have an exact time of day/timezone?

Gotta time when I revive the camhoez thread with my cheeks.

From what little I remember of what you look like, I have a sneaking suspicion that you might be https://www.youtube.com/thesheepgame/videos

That dude needs to invest in a good conditioner.

I can confirm that Baconfish looks like this:

I can be more exact when it gets closer to actually happening.

a bit late to the "end of massassi" party, but wanted to thank the admins and everyone for keeping an important part of JK's history for so long, this site was part of my childhood and surely will be missed!

edit: as a farewell gift before the archiving, we could make a last "sp/mp levels/mods" pack with the lost mods and levels that were found during the last month or so

level pack! level pack!

I'll make an imperial hanger

No, you will finish the Ghostbusters TC like you promised us all those years ago.

I guess I don't have much else going on in august

Gents, it has been an honour. ��

/me comes running in, high fiving everyone and gives them one last bear.

If I finish my list. Shouldn't take too long to go through and see what levels/ mods massassi/ jkdf2 are missing. Most off the top of my head I have passed to Cougar to upload, or thatdarnowl on discord to upload to moddb as an alternative backup.

Should have a thread where everyone post levels and mods looking for. Hopefully someone will have them out there. I posted one myself. Sadly the chances are very slim :-(.

maybe we can complete the "end of massassi" pack with some classics that were posted in massassi's long history, would also be a way to celebrate

to be fair, i always wanted to make or find a jk/mots greatest hits level pack with the best content made in these 25 years

What's the current ETA? I'm almost running out of double-standards towards me to immortalize in the forums' last threads

It seems like since I posted this thread the forums are actually being used. My current plan (as of just now) is to keep the forums open as long as they are actually being used regularly. This means that I am now going to explore a vbulletin and server upgrade to get rid of the security issues.

The forums are saved! Let’s never fight again

brian you sexy sonuva [BEEEEEEEEEEPPP]

last post? more like first post of the rest of our lives

BAR FIGHT!

*throws a barstool at Tracer*

I got my birthday email last month. I meant to log in and see what you all are up to, but I forgot. I remembered today.
I hope you all are well, wherever you are. I have good memories of you oddballs, going back 25 years.

If the forums are still up, I'll be back next birthday if/when I get another email.

Everyone left. It's just you and me now bud.

Haha there was a big flurry of activity across the forums when I said I was closing them for non-activity... then when I said I'd leave them open since people were using them... everyone left again.

This is exactly what happened when I tried putting an end to the Never-ending Story Thread.
