The Old Planet Namek Website

Does anyone remember the message board user ranks?

I remember Kaioshin was a mod and Dai-Kaioshin was an admin.

Yeah, I miss Planet Namek. I remember either going there or to Pojo (which surprisingly hasn't changed a goddamned bit since 1996!) to get my Dragonball information.

I used to go to PN to read the fan fiction they had there back when I was still into that stuff. (Including a really long 50 txt file one that took me 3 days to completely read. Wish I could find that one again. Good times.)

Anyone remember "Da Black Goku"? I was surprised to still find that site even up.

3G ruled. It was funny back when it was "VeGeTa InSaNe!!!" and it just got progressively cooler and cooler after the name change. It was worth it for Castor's Megumi Hayashibara AMVs alone, and it was especially amusing watching Castor in the beginning gradually morph over time from innocent Ocean dubbie to raging hardcore subbie (if you're reading this BTW, you were the primary inspiration for a very close friend of mine who is quite possibly the best AMV editor I've ever known personally, and you'll always have both his and my eternal gratitude for it).

Also, anyone (aside from Mike, Meri, and Castor I’m sure) remember a little oddity from back during the height of the hysteria over the then-new Season 3 called “The Vault”. Y’know, the one with all the interviews with the top DBZ webmasters of the day?

That was certainly… an interesting period.

Those were good times and I miss those days...

How could I forget the vault? That was the first time I was ever interviewed.

Thanks to the new Slayers series, expect some kind of "Reunion" coming soon.

DBG had the worst quality streaming video I had ever seen. Seriously, 10 megs-for-20 minute Real Video files...

Ah, the days of 56k.

Apparently, it's been preserved.

Because a deaf God ignores our cries.

Things that were just as memorable-

UG Cookies
DBZOA
DBZ: WDC
Made From Goats

...just wanted to throw that out there.

I used to love SREDBZ for its multimedia.

I forgot to add that I recently noticed that Pojo's is still around and is just as awful as I remember it. As a matter of fact, I don't think a single thing has changed on that site in 10 years- including the fact that they're still advertising the same magazine issue that I bought probably 9 years ago.

The only thing that I ever liked about that site were the Daizenshuu translations (they were one of the first sites to have them), the "What If..." section and a couple of the fan submitted stuff.

I forgot all about DBZOA; I used to love their translated scripts (and I actually saved a bunch of them before the site went under). They were kind of like Uncensored, only different. I think they expanded after the Buu episodes aired on CN to include other anime series; then lost interest and went under.
