Reading my old blog posts reminds me of how my mindset was back then. Fogged by negativity and unable to appreciate or see the positive aspect in anything, I appeared as if the world was about to crash land in my face. Instead, I should have realized I was in a very unique time period for 1Emulation. What can I say? Negativity: it's like a cancer, it rips through your mind, and makes everything seem worthless. Let's just say my perspective has changed greatly since 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, etc. A
So I was trying desperately to keep my mental self in harmony during this long 3 week upgrade process. I found a new band via the greatest site on the net, you know it, YouTube! Anyway, here are three songs from The Creatures, and these are actually the only three songs I was able to find from the group. They're straight from the greatest music era the world has ever known, that's right, it's called 80's Italo Disco. I would be delighted if anyone could inform me more about the band and any ot
To make a post in my blog after over 2 years... Yes, I am ready to give up. I think I lose more brain cells than a woman who goes into a tanning salon. This upgrade was fucking hell. Thanks for reading. Your buddy, GC
I've been asking this question almost everyday to myself when it comes to 1Emulation. So when am I ready to give up on this place? Should I ever give up? One thing is for sure, I don't want this site to turn into another Zophar or website with cobwebs all over the place. It's frustrating as a site admin to browse other websites that are just doing far better than you are. I guess that can be phrased "jealousy", but I really want to give this place one last boost. I don't know what I'll do if I c
It's been over 5 months since the last time I posted in my blog. My life has been busier than ever lately and spare time for 1Emulation has been dwindling. Over the years we have tried countless times to boost 1Emulation activity by bringing in interest creating devices. Some ideas worked wonderfuly, others failed instantaneously. Over the course of the next few weeks and months, I still will have barely any time to put forth into 1Emulation. What we need are people to create topics that interes
It's been a tough couple weeks as of late and I've been thinking more and more about this very website. What we've accomplished and what we've endured have all been experiences for all of us. Some cherished, some to be forgotten. I truly am going out of ideas for 1Emulation. I don't know what to do, nor do I ever think it will be how I imagine it. It's hard to know if you're wasting your time or if it really is a hobby in itself. Sometimes it feels that I work harder on 1Emulation than my own
It get's a bit stressful when you see websites that after a year are superstars. They are filled with thousands of users online and every second. It's been 4 years and more now that I've had the pleasure being the owner of 1Emulation. My final goal for this site is for 1Emulation to be one day as exactly as I have described. I can't imagine how many hours of hard mind power I've put into 1Emulation. Many stressful days that could make you laugh or even punch a hole in the wall. I was discussi
I woke up to see 27 comments on the new 1Emulation v2.9. There is about an 95% positive feedback, and as suspected, a good 5-10% negative. I was suspecting it as it was the same reaction with the older design. I'll be improving the 1Emulation Network Bar substantially this week and I'm thinking of changing the looks and effects completely. We're also going to be creating a new logo for the IPB 2.1 Default skin. We just didn't have time to put it in before 1Emulation was back online fr
I hope you guys love the new 1Emulation v2.9 as much as I do. This new blogging system really does kick ass quite well. Everyone can register a blog for free! Wait, aren't all blogs free? Of course they are, but nothing like 1Emulation Blogs. Infact, you have 20+ designs to choose from. You see, it took a lot of precise planning for 1Emulation v2.9. But you all are asking me, why is it called 2.9? What about 3.0? Well, that's what I'd like to ask you. WHAT IS VERSION 3.0 GOING TO BE? 1Emula
