Thrik Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I do hope Timmy looks at the Grim Fandango Network too, right? And great to see you. I love seeing how so many different people, from the little to the godlike enjoyed the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackTheFearest Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 MI AT THE BAT The outlook wasn't brilliant for the MI sites that day, The sites didn't stands, and the fans were whining away. And then when SCUMMBar died first, and Mojo did the same, A pall-like silence fell upon the fans of those beloved games. A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast. They thought, "Even if only SCUMMBar would succed We'd put up even money now, that everything will be fine indeed. So upon that stricken multitude, grim melancholy sat; for there seemed but little chance of SCUMMBar comming back. But Legend made it back up, to the wonderment of all. But SCUMMBar looked as if it wouldn't raise from it's fall. Then from five thousand throats and more there rose a lusty yell; it rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell; it pounded through on the mountain and recoiled upon the flat; for days have gone by, no SCUMMBar, and that was that. Ten thousand eyes watched intently as the site stayed closed Five thousand tongues cursed at the Brazilian ugly foes. Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright. The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light. And, somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout, but there is no joy in MI sites -- mighty SCUMMBar has said, "We're over and out."

Squinky Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I post on these boards all the time, and no one ever says "Bloody Hell!!!111 It's Squinky!!!11". I think I deserve at least as much admiration as Tim Shaffir or whatever. Oh, and please, someone give that guy above me something productive to do.

Shut up and salaam like everybody else. It is a bit disconcerting, if not flat-out unfair: you write a brief obituary after the site dies, but you never bother answering to a timid interview plea, even to say, “**** off wankers! I am a busy, busy man! I have no time for insignificant pawns such as yourselves!” tisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aranolorion Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 sigh..."Everything dies, baby, that's a fact, but maybe everything that dies, someday comes back." - The Boss. This is hard, prolly worse than the past for most ppl involved, but...sh!t happens, and the best things survive. mojo will survive the lec(am i still allowed say that?) community will survive, and the spirit of the scumm bar and any other sites fallen will always live on..

draedan Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 you all definitely don't know me, i haven't participated in these forums ever. but the important thing is i've been watching every step of scummbar since the day opened, one of my first browsed site. i remember all designs they had done, all images, even the room of skyfox - if i'm not wrong ? - when i learned the saddest news , i've been almost crying, yes, almost. it's so hard to leave a lover, yes i 've been in this mood in some of my girlfriends situations. definitely, this is no different than those. i loved those 90s decade, playing monkeys, those bbs ages, those were great and only the site that make me remember those years is closed, so so sad for me ... this shouldn't be my first msg in this forum. and Scumm Bar is so great site that 1000s of international users meet in a flat, i guess there won't be a site or community like this. god bless you all the makers, skyfox and others. we'll be missing you deeply.

Huz Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Originally posted by Andi Wan Our beloved SCUMM Bar is down for good. BUT, whilst drowning your sorrows, check out this site and relive the SCUMM Bar's glory days! Funny. I don't remember there being so many fish... (Is this your site Huz?) I take no responsibility for the actions of Joey. That site does evoke some nostalgia though, as does The Internet Wayback Machine. Ah, memories.

madmonkeygal! Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I used to visit The Scumm Bar on a semi- regular basis, usually to check out the MI news, which was excellent, and although the site was, admittedly, not my favourite MI site (My fave's the World of MI, but then, that was the first site I found..) it was still a great site for MI information. I'll particularly miss the media section... And it is incredibly cool that two of the main names in the MI game production have contributed to this thread! All we need now is Ron Gilbert himself!

ED Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Well I'm not going to try and say I visited the Scumm bar for years but It was the second MI site on the net I ever visited, and after the great downtime of 2001 I visited it at least once a week to see what was going on. I'll always remember the site for being the place to get all the best info on the MI games as well as interesting featuresand interviews with the people behind the games.

Skyfox Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 ok guys.. this is a pretty unbelieveable responce we have had. I honestly didn't expect it, and certainly not fantastic messages from Jonathan and Tim! As far as i was concerned.. this was it! SCUMM Bar was no more... it was an ex-parrot! But now... i don't know.. If the data can be fully recovered, would you like it back? Or do you think it has had it's day? Let me know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mort-Hog Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I think it'd be good if everything Scummbar had was transferred to Mojo and then Mojo would be the one site to rule them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyBastard Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Hell, if you don't want to keep running the site, send me all the files. I'll gladly keep it going. Anything to keep the Monkey Island community alive 'n well.

Bring it back already! Afraid my ego was boosted to it's maximum when Jonathan and Tim posted here. So it's defo not that... and if the site did come back, I would have very little to do with the day to day running (they just need me cause i pay for the domian names these days!) I assure you this wasn't a publicity stunt... we don't claim to be going and then come back unexpectedly like some people I could mention! *dig* *dig* This was it... but the responce has just stunned us all.. certainly me! and Benny.. you don't live in Newton-le-willows do you?!?!
