Does anyone remember the System showcase? When did that go away? A few forum builds ago? I remember when the first rebuild of the forum happened and most where pissed about it, some ran out and made another forum for people who didn't want to use the new format. I wonder if it went away than?

    What was Tyrone's moniker? I don't recall him either... (at least by first name)
