As we near our 5 year anniversary, much has happened, so many people have come and gone, that it must be written down so that future members can know our roots and see what has become the foundation of the GF of today. These are all the events as of 3/23/12.
This gamingforce is not the first one to be made but rather the 5th one in it's generation.
Many years ago I spent most of my time on a forum called G4 when Zero invited me to a forum called Gamingforce. I deiced to join it and it was alright for awhile and I had no idea what host it was on. Soon after Zero moved it to proboards where we got a few good members like ubertrance and experienced our first spam attack which I quickly put the ban hammer on and sent those fools packing. After while we weren't doing so good so Zero moved the board again to ipbfree forums (which no longer exists and thank god we got off of it.).
It was turning out all right, we got a few active members and the forum turned out pretty good. Until Zero could no longer do forums and closed down the forum. By now I was attached to GF and manged to get a hold of Zero and asked him to transfer control to me which he did. I got control and for the next few weeks I was a noob in the ACP
Thanks to ubertrance we got the lovable and mad arcade player seaofclouds. Due to a mistake I made with a skin GF got the valuable admin of coding cloud, further on GF got more value members like taylor who helped me understand skins.
After Cloud made me admin on his forum which was on jcink and I saw it was like ipbfree but minus the credits needed to use it's features. I deiced to pack up GF and move it once more to jcink hosting which was the best thing I did.
With GF now on Jcink and completely made with my ideals instead of Zero's, GF was quickly become successful by getting highly valued members like MisterKalas, Typewriter and others. GF did start to slow down a bit and people came and left without making much posts but now GF is getting many regular members a day which has brought us to this 1 year mark.
---End of first history---
With the forum getting on in years, we neared our 3rd anniversary with more people come and gone and GF expanded in every-way it could by going onto twitter, youtube ect. I believe these were the years that the forum began to slow down a lot badly. To a point I thought about closing it down for good. But I decided against that knowing a lot of time was put in the forum and I would continue to run it so long as a few members came.
By this time in the year 2010 our jcink hosting was good but experiencing many problems such as slowness and other things from content DDoS attacks. After a meeting with joshua I had convinced myself to put down the money for both the software and the hosting to move Gamingforce to the latest IPB software and it's own hosting were we began to expand in many areas and be able to provide.
As we neared our 4th annversisry, I was still expermenting with what having our own forum software could do and have added some neat features. But by now the forum seem to have settled on a core base of 10 members with high daily traffic and not reaching the activity I wished. Even after adding a console repair affilate, that did not help boost things.
It is now March of 2012, the forum now sees a daily of 15 members and we are still moving along fine but not as great. I feel the cause of the forum not being as great as it should that we lost so many good members to life. Life being school, work, real life things. But I still work to make GF a huge forum one day through the words,
GF has seen a lot, hackings, spam attacks, trolls who I want to see if they got balls if met in real life. We've had great GFX people here, people making games that have dropped out, a console repair service and a whole lot more. It's my only regret these have not worked out for the best. But we are still online with many great members and hopefully soon one day GF will become the great forum it's meant to be.
