What a long, strange trip it's been. Working on this site was my life back then. I fell away from it all, but it's amazing that a dedicated group of fans kept on rallying. And here we are--14 years later--with a new game finally on the horizon. It's beautiful. You guys are awesome.

Those were the days. But the boards have changed for the better since then, thanks to Yama.

Ha, yeah I can tell! I'll be the first to admit that I was a crappy moderator back then. It probably also helps that we aren't all 14 years old.

Hey what was that place that was basically a mutiny of this site? It would've been probably 05 ish that it was created. I wanna say that the original guys like Bambi and Juanfran all went there. I think Bluecast was a big promoter of it too....Maybe Im dreaming stuff up here, I dont know.

That would be Ryi's Place. Good times there too. There was also Hazuki Dojo which still exists but its much quieter now.

Ryo's Place will always have my heart.

Ryo's Place will always have my heart.

Have any of those folks shown up or have stuck around? Names are coming to mind like Andy, iwao, thegreatchai?, xZhiBit San, GuiZangh, Trunks, and Myles.

After the split, when we went to RP 2.0 the damn servers would be down every other day....this was the 1 of many backup forums lol.

Myles still pops in every now n again.

Forgot about those places. I made like, a handful of posts in each of them. Never could be bothered to split my time between 3 different Shenmue forums, especially when this place was always by far the most active and I don't post that much anyway.

After the big split...RP was the place to be for a while, most of the vets went there to have a good time. At the time this place was just filled with Teepo, Louis,....and tubgirl

and Jeff..lots of Jeff.

Anyone remember the Shenmue Harbor site? Is Shenmue UK still going?

Snickers...the official candy of Shenmue Harbour.

Never posted much on Hazuki Dojo or Ryo's place, but I do remember them. Crazy.
