If you're asking me, I'm assuming it's back when AGN was an entire site and not just forums. I'm just calling the idea what I remember it being called in the past. So quit jumping down my fucking throat about it. I'm just trying to help out with something.
I remember this plan to return AGN to its former glory
I don't recall anyone jumping down your throat nor or this something that focuses on you ...A lotta mutherfuckers be runnin they moufs is all an I'ze jus axin what yall is talkin bout

BLOOD SOAKED!!!
... ... What the ... ...
Well, IMHO, in terms of what the site "used to be," ... ... It's Armageddongames Network. It needs games. It's been developing the same two games for three years, six years, ... A few little games here and there, ... but other than that, it's been pretty much a chatting community. Perhaps it could look for more games to host?
Most games just fizzle away and die down. Personally I think it's better to focus what capable people we have on the current projects, ie ZC and SE. SE is actually going places, it just needs more committment, from higher and lower people, though not neccesarily the players, yet.
However, drawing in more people who are familiar with game design IS a good idea.
I think what people meant by "former glory" was back when there was a main page, a ZC website, a quest database, about half of the mods didn't defect to some radical group devoted to obsessing over AGN's demise, and some other stuff.
People are chasing a warm fuzzy that has been long gone. This site is what you make of it, and I will be 10 to 1 that right now at least somebody is living in what they will look upon as "former glory". It's all relative. Also, by "former glory", people obviously mean turn AGN into GU, which isn't going to happen.
They say you can never go home again...
...perhaps there's something to that.

Bah, I'm never gone forever, and although I may not be here, I'm still active somewhere on this little island internet. But I know that AGN is a place I can always come back to and feel at home. I still pop in from time to time.

Uh.. huh? What forum have you been going to? There's been a main page, a ZC website, a quest database, and the people that ran away to "destroy AGN" weren't mods. There's no former glory, AGN's the same as it always has been. I think people are just outgrowing it.
Here's a question. Is anyone aware that Mythotical has quit? That there is nobody working on the main page, the ZC website, or the quest database?
Technically it's not the same. The same time last year those sites were running perfectly fine. Now the DB is messed up, with infrequent updates and the main page has outdated information and broken links.
Personally, if those were fixed I would say that AGN is back to the way it was. But they aren't. So, technically AGN ISN'T the same.
The way I see it, the only way to get AGN back to it's "former glory" is to start trafficking porn again. After all, this is the Awesome Porn Network, right?
Wait... It's not? Fuck. That explains them death threat emails.
Seriously, you need a hook. YOu need something to reel in members, and not n00bs who want to make thier own Zelda's and/or play SE. I have contacts in the Russian Mafia. I'll see what I can do.
Yeah, because all people who want to play our games are n00bs.
I agree with Decipher here (so I must be a n00b).
I'm actually quite pleased with how things are run at the moment - AGN is, like how may years old? Six? More? Anyway, it's still here and no sign of it closing down any time soon.
ZC is on a new beta, that will hopefully soon result in a new final version (yeah, I should put more work into it. That's precisely what I'll do this summer) and SE seems to have a completely new build in the works too.
Plus, people get older, and their interests change - that applies to the AGN staff too. It's only good if a website/forum changes a bit over time ... keeps up the interest.
So ends a n00b's view of AGN (I've only been here a year, so I don't know much about the "former glory"😉 - but I'm happy with how things are, and as many new things are planned, even if we can't see them now, all the better.
I agree with a lot you say Koopa but with the ZC questdatabase not working ( since what is it Januari ) all new quests aren't gonna be available for the questplayers , and the ZC players get it elsewhere and the questions are also asked and answered elsewhere :shrug:
If you want to keep AGN being the best and biggest site for the total ZC communite , it should be working and kept updated 😉
The only way there was a "former glory" was more people were posting. Regardless, steps should be taken to promote this site. I don't think we're really doing anything at the moment.
