I remembered Cop's movie-site name... users.telenet.be/Anal_Amoeba/ (Whois = No use) The only other things I'm seeing linked to that username are two archived Belgian movie-forum quizzes from 2005.

I posted a link to slackercentral.org on his Steam page. I heard he had a facebook page at one time but I have no idea what it might be. He hasn't been on Steam in like 2 weeks but he will pop on eventually. I tried tracking him down using anal_amoeba, an old nick of his. The old movie page is broken, but some of his comments here and there live on. More pearls here: www.imdb.com/user/ur2981408/?ref_=tt_bd_1 I found a recent comment by someone I hope is him, and I just replied to it. If it's not Cop, be prepared to welcome a new member. www.imdb.com/title/tt3402594/board/thread/262278092

I tried an old email address of his from 2003, it got kicked back. He tried to register at the previous new refugees but he couldn't log in. I've seen posts of his at Slate, good stuff. But that was a while back. I have his name and old address that he included as part of his sig. You might remember he has dyslexia, and funny enough it seems he misspelled his first name. Ah, memories.

You might remember he has dyslexia Nope... don't remember ever seeing any major typos/etc in his posts; maybe he used a spellchecker before he dropped those tl;dr Debate Club textwalls.

It's better than the forumup one at least, more stable and no Ambience. Once a troll, always a troll...

What happened to Forumup was that they totally killed the domain I had setup the forum on and changed over to another sister domain of theirs (I think even totally different country) and they didn't even bother to transfer any forums over to the new domain so that any forum that was on there that got killed would have to be remade from scratch again plus there was really no way to contact users to let them know because once the old forumup server was killed, I had no way to obtain emails anyway so I said fuck it and felt it was finally a wrap for the community. I actually did check the original Slcakercentral domain and it wasn't available to purchase because I would of went all paid and hoped people would have just checked from time to time to see if the original site ever came back online. I did have one person from Slackercentral on my Steam friends list so yesterday I checked on Steam for any life of Slackers and seen the link to this site. Yea, fuck forumup....they're gay as fuck. This almost looks exactly like the original site. Kinda gay that you can't post adult content here though, I feel like all of us are adults so that kinda feels like tyranny in which I'm totally against tyranny. But whatever..... What's really going to be missing from here is all the old members that might not find out about this place and just gave up on it....

You know what's kinda fucked up... most of us where 10+ year members of the original board and Slacker couldn't even give us a heads up he was pulling the trigger and even ignored people trying to message him on Steam about it when the site went down. I didn't know him personally other than I knew he was a former 3dfx employee/moderator at 3dfxgamers.com and threw up a board for 3dfxgamers.com members on his personal site. But when you've had dedicated members for 10+ years... come on... give people a heads up and don't ignore them... In my case, that was a free site I had no control over and I didn't even know what was happening until it already happened. As a forumup forum creator I didn't even get a heads up....it just went offline for me too!

Yeah, Slacker did a real dick move there at the end. It's not like he didn't have any way to contact people or anything, I'm pretty sure most of us are in his Steam list. Hell, that was the only way I could get his attention back in the day, it certainly wasn't through the SCMB itself (not even if it hadn't crashed).
Not even Gibb could be bothered to let us know.

What's really going to be missing from here is all the old members that might not find out about this place and just gave up on it.... Before forumup even went down I was debating building a "real" replacement for SCMB and talking it over with everyone. At its best forumup was pure shit. Then the site went down. Hosting vbulletin 3.0 in 2016 is just idiotic. Having to put the youtube brackets just to post a video? Fuck that. I found a really slick modern forum software with a developer on call to help you will your template. I could have made a near 100% looking clone of the original SCMB but it would have been running very slick modern code underneath. It would have only cost $30 a month and no ads or anything. $360 a year would not break my bank account so I was seriously considering paying for it and having the developer make a clone and throw it up. I didn't know if it was worth it considering I would probably only get 10 regular posters. If this was 2003 I would have done it in a heartbeat. Then I could have put up a "Click here to donate" button if anyone wanted to help out.................then I figured wait someone might accuse me of trying to scam people out of money or some other stupid drama so I said fuck it. Free forum it is. I think this place is quite nice. As to porn I am ambivalent. To be honest most of the girls you guys used to post weren't exactly my taste and I scrolled past most of it. Also no porn means I can actually browse this place at work and not have to worry about it. Reddit NSFW boards are just a click away so who cares.

As a forumup forum creator I didn't even get a heads up....it just went offline for me too! I figured slackercentral.org would be cheaper and less time consuming then trying to get .com from Slacker. I haven't spoken to him in 10 years. It looks kinda ghetto to have slackercentral.org redirect to freeforums.net. I can actually set it up so ProBoards runs my domain and then it would just be slackercentral.org/post/whatever instead of the longer redirect URL. However the problem with that is if ProBoards goes out of business or whatever I didn't want a broken DNS. If ProBoards dies my plan is to have slackercentral.org redirect to a simple pastebin explaining the situation. So unlike with forumup we won't all be in the dark. Also I run the slackercentral Steam group so I will certainly post news there.

I came a across the previous version of SCMB refugees awhile back but it looked dead and then I forgot about it until recently. It went all the way down in 2015. Thing is he didn't even tell us he was going to shut it down. He just pulled it offline. I haven't approached him to see if he wants to sell me the domain but I might.
