Yeah, we're far away from what I consider PGC's golden age (2003-2005).
Ha ha... yeah I have the same "golden age" for the forums as you IceCold.
I don't know if I would consider myself active, though, since I come and go in phases and prior to this it had been almost half a year since I popped in around here. I will attest, though, to being happy when I did come back and seeing a lot of familiar faces like GP, Pro, and BnM.
The forums change. Each day they lose a little from why I love them so much, but at the same time it's amazing how long some of the users here have been active.
EDIT: oh, and funny, I realize that my most distinct memory of GP is those epic "arm wrestling" matches we got into during the Dojo updates for Smash Bros Brawl... good times.
