I haven't seen you around anywhere in ages!
You just haven't been looking in the right places. At the very least, I can usually be found lurking around the SSX forums. (Link in my profile.)
Besides that, I've been staying away from message boards... After so many years having to read every thread on the PD message boards, I got pretty damn sick and tired of translating 'I'm-too-lazy-for-elementary-grammar' into English. Gamespiggin's advertising also entered the realm of absurdity, when the "Click to continue to [site name]..." links on the full-screen ads started redirecting to more full-screen ads. (Kind of odd that HLP hasn't been afflicted with those yet, actually.) The DBB had its own set of problems, in that it became too politicized. Even outside the E&C subforum, it felt like people were trying to gauge what part of the political spectrum you sat on.
I do still quietly pop in on PD's main page every once in a while, when I can weasle in through the ads. It's good to see things are being maintained and updated. That reminds me that I should probably update my profile there at some point. I've hit the drinkin' age, bought a new computer, and changed squads since the last time I updated it...
Regarding Interplay's website, I wouldn't be surprised if it did turn out to be fraudulent. Likewise, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a placeholder until something a bit less ratty could be tossed together. Time will tell.
