What a good and well timed post.

So I wanted to see how SPUF dying affected image results, and noticed something weird in the search for my name.
 
Historically my search results were all SPUF, since I've never used this name except in a SPUF related capacity.  We still have a bit of results from SPUF proper (though they are sadly disappearing), but the bottom is all results from some weird German diet scam site.  Apparently my name shows up in some gibberish in the page code.  I wonder what sort of automated text harvesting resulted in that.

To be fair, that's exactly what Bubsy deserves.
 
The first games may not have been as bad as people say (mainly because they were just one in a long number of similar platformers, many far worse than Bubsy) but Bubsy 3D was the height of a soulless cash-grab.

Still need a new site to switch to when browsing all of my websites to check for new posts other than SPUF.

I wish I could.
I actually can. Firefox lets you load history without triggering the redirect!

And now it has officially died.
Medic made it to the 6th, though. Congrats Medic!
(Took a screenshot of the last refresh. It's still up on my browser, pre-redirect)

It's gone.
 
Official time of death: 14:06 PST, June 5, 2017.

NOW, it's really dead for really real.

There can't be any mayhem because it is clearly June now.

Wait, was that the Beethoven who flipped out because I posted a joke thread about Shenmue 3?

The fact that about half of the active threads are new user introductions is either a very good thing or a very bad thing when considering the longterm longevity of this forum.

At least you can still buy it.
Better than Beamdog's policy of updating an old game (mainly either adding unwanted features or adding things that were already available with mods) and then making sure that the original version can't be obtained individually anywhere on the internet.

Speaking of Paradox, here's an interesting article from 2010 from them (well really from Gamersgate, which was part of paradox until shortly before this article.)
The best parts are when Berquist says that Steam is a bad platform because Valve can't be trusted to be impartial when they release their next AAA game, and the general theme that Steam can't "win," while since that point Paradox Interactive has done pretty much everything on Steam, even removing all of their games from Gamersgate without any prior warning.
