I forgot to update this thread - my bad.

I have actually made alot of progress within the last couple of months. BGCv2 has entered its alpha stage & hopefully by the end of Sunday it will be either completed or in a beta version phase. I have attached all the screen shots that I have recently done with BGC & it shows how it currently runs & it has a working medlab, techlab, & bank system.

Landel hasn't made as much progress as I would of liked. I have alot of the storyboard done & even tested out some new character designs. Lately I have been working on my deviantart site http://hiryurhys.deviantart.com which has some of the character designs from Landel mixed in the gallery.

Enjoy.

This looks really cool Unfortunetly I do not have an 89 to run this with so I don't know if I will get to play it. Great work though

Mhmm that reminds me, would Hiryu/Fryedsoft remember Art_Of_Camelot from the old days?

Aaah ok I guessed so ^^ since he was active in 1998-99, then vanished until he returned in 2007, on the previous Omnimaga forums, then remained around until early 2009, then returned again for some parts of 2010.

This must be strange for someone who leave the community for years then return and notice how things are changed . In my case it wasn't as shocking since I remained around most of the time, but I still remember the old days of the old MaxCoderz board (Ikonboard 3.1.x) back when they got 3000-5000 posts a month like we do now (altough A LOT of them were offtopic and in the massive debate thread ), Badja, TI89.org, Calcware, Calcnews, the first TI-News site, the Ticalc.org CD recall, Drubu and more.

I also remember back when there were a lot of BASIC vs ASM wars

Oh, then that means you left in early 2002. At this time Void was still active, but it was starting to dwindle. Some ppl left and Sam Heald was only gonna post 4 more months of Zelda updates. Macross went down at that time too.

As for UTI, it started in May 2003 as the result of a merge between Prokul Interactive, Cirrus Programming, The Calc Site, Nexus and CalcBasic. MaxCoderz started in July 2001. Omnimaga started in September 2001, but did not make it online until March 2004. It became an active community only in May 2005 (read: when the old board started). Revsoft started in December 2004, but went public in April 2005. The URL was leaked somewhere on MaxCoderz, though, and some people like me signed up in 2004. There was also Drubu Production from Nov 03 to May 04, later Dysfunction programming that got renamed to Epic programming Studio and lasted until late 2005. Around 2001-03 there was also Greenlights, their board is still online I think. Later Greenfire was formed after Greenlight renamed to Spitfire Production in late 2003 and went down. Greenfire lasted until late 2004.

It's still up! I added spaces in the URL so that small piece of TI community history won't get spammed by bots like the very first MaxCoderz board (and EPS) did

Oh and the good ol' kevtiva, which I unfortunately discovered after it shutted down

I think calc.org is dead. Calcg.org owner took over to make a working archive, but I never heard anything afterward. I wouldn't be surprised if it soon became a pron site indeed

Lol

Back in the days I think very few groups had boards. Usually, they had guestbooks or allowed comments on news articles and there was no spam protection against bad posts. Also most boards were like Ticalc or TIBD comments style rather than bulletin board style. Forums as they are now have been used more since 2002, though, and grew in popularity over time as long as the staff on the respective groups remained active.
