    I'm here, if that's what you're looking for. You still in touch with the others?

    No , unfortunately. How about yourself?

    I don't do anything with the website any more but don't wish to take it down or anything, so it will remain online for the foreseeable future.

    As for the forums, I've thought about turning them offline as it's clear to see there is barely any activity whatsoever these days. In fact I think aside from GTAForums, pretty much every fansite forum is dead now. Everyone moved to social media. But as with the website, I will probably leave them open for the time being, if any members want to reconnect with one another then they can do so.

    Out of curiosity, what brought you back here Dmac?

    Although dead, the I find the forums fun to look back on. I'm sure I'm not the only one who comes back for a little hit of nostalgia!  And that's exactly why I came back. I also wanted to see what everyone else is up to these days.

    Let me check.. can confirm, am alive.

     

    Also, I'm not Dmac but now that I'm here... I think of this place from time to time, I saw your account on Twitter again and decided to drop by to see what was what.

    Glad to see you're still alive! I think of TGTAP sometimes, too. A lot of us basically grew up here. Fun times indeed.

    My car, '99 Holden VT Commodore. Has 195xxx k's on the clock which is pretty decent for a Commodore and a car of it's age. Haven't done that many mods apart from the headlights and stereo. Majority of the work has been mechanical (most caused by human error, eg me running the car too low and frying the fuel pump) But yeah apart from that, great daily driver.

  3. Any other fellow Australians bracing for the upcoming heatwave? In some parts of the country it's supposed to be 5 days straight of above 40°C (104ºF) and it's hitting a max of 46°C - 47°C (116.6ºF) in some places. Residents in rural Victoria are being warned to prepair themselves for bush fires. Tommorow where I live it's getting to 41°C (105.8ºF) although I've heard it could get hotter.

    And yes, I even converted this for the people using fahrenheit :P

    EDIT: Can a mod change the topic to 2013? I'm still in 2012 mode!

  4. Keep in mind I am not directly connected to the modem. I am using a wireless USB adapter. Probably be faster if I ran the test on the Computer directly connected to the modem. The fact I am using USB adapter and not a PCIE wireless card probably has a negetive affect on my speeds. Bought a new modem last week which has improved my speeds.

    Can't wait until the NBN comes to my area. Say's it's in planning stages.

    Edit: Looking back on previous results it seems my internet with iiNet is better than when I was with Telstra. Although the Telstra results were down back in 2007 (see post here)

  5. So what are your thoughts on Windows 8? Will you eventually "upgrade" or have you already done so?

    For now, I am sticking to Windows 7. It's my favourite Windows OS to date (followed by good old XP) and I have no plans of ditching it as of yet. I personally feel they've stripped everything that once made Windows, Windows!

    What is your opinion on it?

  6. I use Windows 7 on my main PC, but Windows XP is still great for the lower end Computers. For example, I own a netbook that came with 7 and it ran real bad. I threw XP on it after finding drivers and it runs excellent. I think Windows XP even to this day has a use and a place in the modern Computer world.

    If you have a netbook or a low-end laptop that came with Windows 7, hunt down some drivers and throw XP on and you'll be suprised.
