Tromatagon Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Oh man holy shit Player One I didn't know any of that about it happening way back in APRIL. That's pretty nuts. I kind of dropped out of the community when ZOMG died. I was pretty active as tromataker on the original Firepro Club and ZOMG. I didn't really get along with a lot of the new people that came along when Returns did, but I didn't exactly try to either. If someone annoyed me in the slightest I'd go full scorched earth.

That's pretty nuts. Reading through a thread on FPWArena yesterday and a couple other places, the guy was arrested back in April. At a minimum, it looks like people noticed he was offline for an extended period of time, but it's speculation how much anyone knew beyond that. It seems like word got out to the members because the site went down last weekend - presumably because Tiger Sword wasn't able to pay the hosting bill from jail. When the site - mysteriously - came back up for unknown reasons, a few people decided it probably wouldn't stay up and the community should move, then word started going around. Basically, it seems like a pragmatic decision to make members aware of the situation - Tiger Sword (under his real name, of course) is apparently the registered owner of the site and the person who made payments to the hosting company. It's basically his property. It's not a good look to appear as though you're sitting on this info so long as the dude kept the hosting bill paid up. That said, I don't really believe Sword was running a pedophilia ring through the website or that anyone was involved in anything too sketchy. I'm not entirely sure I believe that no one knew the dude's real name and discovered he had been arrested when he went dark. I doubt lots of people knew - presumably the longtime admin who went by C-Drive didn't know since he apparently quit the site without much of a word when he found out - but no one? I mean, at some point, Bix recognized the guy's real name and tweeted about it (not sure how long that was). I kinda miss Fire Pro Club. I was never really much into the community aspect after FPC became a ghost town and eventually died. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 FPC was great before creepy neckbeard MDK took over. The place spiralled out of control after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The fake new Fire Pro game and subsequent freakout on FPC is one of my favorite things to happen on the internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I really liked him back in the day and most of his ideas actually came to be in FPW but I can never forgive him for that. To quote a great Tongan, "fuck 'em!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck with FPC until it went down and never went to the other site, but I might give the new one a try. Though I feel so behind in not having World.

NikoBaltimore Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If you have a capable PC the mods add so damn much to the game. Things you wouldn't think possible (different camera angles, editing parts, etc.) are there to use and it adds so damn much. Even if you don't want to do mods the amount of edits on Steam Workshop are insane. But even if you wait for the PS4 version they'll be really active on there. If you can it's worth giving it a shot. And the board is good so long as you avoid the drama. And it's now pedophile-free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coletti Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Fuck yeah, just pre-ordered the deluxe digital, also cashing in a couple $10 codes I had before. I have it on PC but spend so little time on it, while I'll fire up the PS4 whenever possible. Before the Arena tanked, there was a thread where a LOT of edit makers said they weren't interested in making wrestlers for PS. Bummer, I suppose, but I prefer my own creations anyway, and having default NJPW is pretty huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yeah, I have PC but do way more of my gaming on the PS4 (and spend more time on it in general) so I'll definitely be double dipping and probably grabbing some DLC there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I just got the Edit Legend achievement. That's the one where you make 100 edits. 99 of them are original edits. On a related note, I passed the 520 hours played mark. here's the one non-original edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The vita is dead Dev team is so small it might be a negative amount of people They can't even afford to port it to systems that sell in 2018 like the Switch The English font would be tiny and unreadable because they kind of suck at UIs now Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I haven't played a Fire Pro game since the PS2 days. Didn't find out about the PS3 port until a few months ago. Pretty much haven't given 2 damns about wrestling in over a decade. I was late to the PS3 party and didn't get mine until 2012, bought a used WWE game on that same night. That game has never been removed from it's case. I'll play WWE Champions on my tablet, but that's as much of a wrestling game as Angry Birds. I try to keep up to see who died, but that's just a depressing reminder of life passing by. But every time I see a new video for this game I think maybe it's time to get back on the horse. Somebody talk me down. If I had that clip of Pacino from Godfather III I'd post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
