Here's the thing.... Andy is a pompous ASS. He has never responded to a single email I sent, and refuses to relinquish the NC name and content, let alone the domain. I don't even know what his motives are because I'm clearly capable and enthusiastic about running the site, yet he just let's it sit there without any new info. As far as I'm concerned, Andy is only doing a disservice to the NIC by keeping the site as is.
I have stronger feelings about Andy personally, many of which I share about guys like Hal and a few others in the old community, but thats not the point. If you're trying to do anything with NC, you are wasting your time.

Portfolio pimpage? Wait, that's NO!I don't even know what his motives are
If you look at his old thread [C linked to it] you will see his teaser.

Look at the date on the news post, no wonder I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

The point is I doubt he'd ever consider turning over control of his baby to anyone else. If you want to start a nerf news site...start one. If you can't make a success of it without riding the coatails someone else's site.....well then you can't make a success of it.

I'm not quite sure if this was what you meant, fair Viking, but I say save everything to notepad, paint, etc, and repost it on a new website. Update often, maybe even use NC2 as the name to keep the site format the same. Then, if he comes back and says "What the hell?", ask him "What the hell?" is he gonna do about it.Legal team? Sounds like he's shooting smoke up your ass. First off, use his content! You're not making money off of it, and neither is he. So even if he sues you, what's he going to sue for? Pain and suffering? Yeah, cause you know he's spent all that time updating the site recently. Fact is, I think he's full of it, and I don't see him going on any kind of crusade to stop the incredible injustice that using his content would cause. So frankly, I think we're faced with a put up or shut up opportunity. Either we swipe it, giving him the move of legal action or shutting up, or we shut up ourselves. There really isn't any other option unless he considers talking.

A Whois returns his email address, phone number and mailing address. Drop him a line if you are serious about talking to him.

Like Vacc said, if someone wants to start a news and reviews site, by all means do so. When Vacc and I left NO we didn't demand that Hal relinquish the domain and we didn't steal any of his content. This site opened with a few new homemade writeups from Zero, a new strip from Groove, the mod writeups from my personal site, and a completely empty forum.

Call him, he cant ignore a phone call, maybe hang-up, but atleast you know he heard you.

I wouldn't bother him with a phone call; that might get annoying.

You also emailed a bunch of people who were pretty involved in the NIC, and invited us to join the forum before it was entirely opened to the public. That definitely helped to give the forums a jump-start and a lot of credibility.Like Vacc said, if someone wants to start a news and reviews site, by all means do so.

Are you kidding me?Hard to imagine here or NHQ being empty. I can't think of what that would be like.

Yeah, we used you guys... <g>You also emailed a bunch of people who were pretty involved in the NIC, and invited us to join the forum before it was entirely opened to the public. That definitely helped to give the forums a jump-start and a lot of credibility.
Looking back at some of those early threads is kind of fun. This forum had a very high IQ when the membership was about 100. It's kind of gone to hell since then.
On the plus side, as of last Friday I'm done with school forever so Karma might actually get worked on soon.

*SIGH* One more time...PRE-HACK. Not now. As in, before March 9th, 2005.Are you kidding me?Hard to imagine here or NHQ being empty. I can't think of what that would be like.
Anyway, like most have been saying, if Andy doesn't want to update the site, that's his business. Heck, he's probably even moved on to other things and completely stopped Nerfing altogether. Unless someone has spoken to him recently; correct me if I'm wrong. If you guys want to see NC alive so badly, just create a new one. Prove everyone your worth and create a great website with great content. I wouldn't bother Andy, though.

Don't edit your post and try to make me look like a jackass.*SIGH* One more time...PRE-HACK. Not now. As in, before March 9th, 2005.

You only suceeded in making yourself look like a little bitch for not just pointing out that you misspoke, and tried to make a little flame into something big.
Anyway, the rest of you are only repeating eachother. In my oppinion, (which changed since last post, which I won't edit ) just set out to do what he did. Make your own reviews.
The thing I never understood about Nerf Center, was the usefulness of stock gun reviews. If NC was still arround, Andy would say that the AT2K sucked out of the box. Yet, it remains one of the top ten Nerf guns when modded.
Maybe a mass ammount of reviews based on mods would be more sucessful.

Normally I would've apologized, but since he was too stupid to realize what I just pointed out, I won't.
EDIT: Not hours, only about one hour. But my point still stands. I'm done posting in this, because I realize I'm getting on everyone's nerves. Davis, if you want to keep arguing this, PM me. Sorry everyone.
