    He does yes. At least, he said in an interview and during the ATS puzzle era that he occasionally reads our forums (and other fansite's forums too I believe). It's never been known if he's just a lurker or if he has a registered account he never uses. If he does, I've certainly never been told so.

    http://www.angelfire.com/music4/lpa/ Still exists actually. How about that :lol:. This is so weird to see this after all this time. Especially how many sections were left "coming soon" since we ended up buying the .com domain only a few months after this was opened. Some of the things on there now are kind of embarrassing, but you need to remember we were 15 back then. Hardly peak maturity levels back then.

    Oh, thanks for the information. But who knows if Mike himself isn't around here using a pseudonym.
    Maybe I am Mike?
    ...
    Maybe Minus is Mike? ▲


    It's ALL FLASH!! So modern! :D
    No, honestly. I am pretty proud on my little experimentation-page with CSS3 featuring a navigation bar. :D Your site is pretty well designed, for that time, one must admit.

    You must be proud about the fact, that you (and Omar) found one of the biggest LP Fan Sites on the internet. You got my full respect Derek, and thank you for the chance, to inform and chat here with other (in)sane LP Fans :p

    Yep, we pretty much pilfered the tabs from a tab website. Shameful to admit now, but that's why the tabs are so ridiculously bad and far off it's pathetic. Lets just say our accuracy improved tenfold when Astat gave us permission to host his :lol:.

    That's what I find so crazy. While being such a small design area now (it was built for 800x600 monitors and we now have resolutions of 4K on extremely powerful systems :lol:) it stil holds up visually. Back then it was ahead of it's time.

    And I love Tomb Raider. Sue me!

    It's definitely one of my proudest achievements. Thank you!

    Yeah, it also fits the style of back-then LP pretty well. I remember those extras made with Flash on CDs like Meteora, they look alike.

    There's nothing wrong about being a Tomb Raider fan! :lol:
