GameTrailers Officially Closing Down

I wonder when this is going to be down. I half expected the main site to not be up when I checked again, but that's still going.

Man I remember levels. I had all those icons saved on my old hard drive. I really need to fix that shit. Stupid click of death.

I was with GT for a good 9 or so years. Would like to say thanks to the whole entire GT crew past and present for the great 9 years i got from the site. Sad to see it go as i loved watching GT Time and and you guys on twitch. But seeing above about the ps3 bought back the time i was still watching the stuff but the constant bashing of the ps3 and the sabotage that went in to making the 360 look better then the ps3 in every way,But live and forget. At the end of the day the crew i loved the best was this one now (included before Elise left)
So to Brad, Ben, Blood, Huber, Don, Kyle, Ian and Mr Jones, i bid you what i hope a short farwell hopefully you all find someone to take you all under the wing to start up a new site/twitch/youtube so we can all see the fun you guys have together.
Sadly missed but never ever forgotten!

With love from

Who could forget the imfamous DBE.

Trying to moderate anything through those was a special brand of infuriating.

Hey guys I just wnated to say thanks a lot, hard to believe that Ive been here for almost 10 years, cant see myself on other forums, Im going to miss Gts content and the community more than Im willing to accept...

best wishes guys.

Shouldn't be much longer since the official announcement was simply "today".

The site is probably running on fumes now since the staff is either trying to recuperate, or job hunt.

Wow, just lost my favorite gaming forum and now my best friend (sister in christ) is telling me her mom is on the verge of death. Going to be a long night.

I joined the steam community btw guys. But I won't be active for a while as stated in the group.

Nothing quite like the old vBulletin forums, lol. With the exception of DBE, I still consider vB GT the most successful age of GT.

Wow that sucks, is there any other forums we could migrate to??
I suggest everyone subscribing to the Steam GT group so we could keep track of each other, if you have no already done that!!!
Could we sticky something like this???

mass appeal:
I rarely saw eye to eye with any of you but it's been fun. GT was the only forum I ever posted on and it will probably stay that way. I'd just get banned on other sites lol. Good luck to the staff, I never doubted your enthusiasm and I hope you can get in somewhere else in the business. Stay up people! Vote trump!

Join the GT Steam group bro, there's no need for everyone to stop talking to each other now that the forums is being shut down !

We know deep down all human activity is ultimately pointless in the life of the universe, but it's still sad to see things end, Good Luck everyone, and Goodbye :(

Well, come home from vacation and I get this bomb of a news. Really difficult to go through again with another site I spent a lot of time with after my first ever forum I joined died a few years ago, Anime Academy, and I met a lot of swell folks here that I wish we could've spent more time with.

If anyone is interested in being PSN or Wii U/3DS buddies, my username is RisenHellfire on both of them.

I heard about the news of GT's closing and had to log in and post something. I have a lot of memories of this place and of many of you guys. I'd love to name some of the guys from back when I was active here, from 08-2010, but I don't wont to leave anyone out. Maybe some of you remember me lol. I was 14 when I joined GT, now am 22 and barely an adult. Time sure does go by fast.

I guess there's nothing more to say other than good-bye. If you want to stay in touch, add me on steam. My name is the same as here. dammets

Thanks for the memories.

Sad to see the place go, but tis a shell of it's former self. Joined back in 2006 and was a Regular until 2012. Came back every few months to check in. Even Recorded GTTV shows during 2007 to 2011. This place will be Fondly Remembered.

NOT EVEN THE CLOSING OF GAMETRAILERS COULD KEEP ME, THE ALL MIGHTY MAZER, AWAY FROM THIS PLACE !!!!!!!!

In all honesty, despite some of the chaos and words, I had a fantastic time here. You guys were the ones who encouraged my niece and I to make videos together (5yr old reviews and my own WTF: Games You've Never Played), and I am super happy and still proud of all the effort and assistance I received for the GAMETRAILERS: THE GAME.

I know I've created lots of silly and wacky threads in the past (underline idiotic as well :3) but in all honesty, I had a fantastic time with everyone.

Huge shoutout to my friends I've made here. Lux, Luna, Mag0x1 (I think that's how his SN was :D), Sheria, Zulu, Squirrel, Sora, Cybersix, Robbi, Just10xx, and even LordWindowLicker despite all the chaos that went on between us - if it wasn't for his invite to the OmniGamers, I wouldn't have met some of the closest friends I've ever had.

There are so many more to mention but alas, tis hard to remember all those names. So if I missed you, I apologize but you guys all kick ass.

Thanks so much for the laughs, the drama, the memories, and just everything.

If anyone wants to hmu or remember old times: My steam is KIGERWOLFF

Bringing back memories of some of the sillier running jokes that were shared here.

Sniping with a shotgun
9.3
That dude with the gears of war locust as his avatar, forgot his name

Then there were things like Procne's movie nights
and gt blogs and levels

I remember systemshock making new accounts all the time, I remember that girl/guy who always talked about shadow of the colossus. I remember database errors and the day the forums were split into alternate universes. Good times.

I've been trying to remember his damn name for the longest. Would anyone happen to know how to contact the dude?

SAME HERE! I remember one of my friends (Kiko) hated him so much, I couldn't remember his name for the life of me. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT. THAT FUCKING CALVIN AND HOBBES AVATAR.

Sheria:
Well, this truly is some sad news. This place really has been a little home away from home for me for a long time now.

I just want to say thank you to all the people I met here on GT over the last decade. A big thank you to the old Omnigamers and all of its members. Lordwindowlicker, Zulux, Greg, Jak, Mazer, Whitelight etc, those times really meant a lot to me.

A shout out to some other members as well: Adventurer (I know we have had ups and downs but I still have a plethora of fond memories), Cweeny, Talax, Narros, Kudan, Longview ... I just know there are many, many more. Of course, I must also say ta ta to Deisel (Black-Cell), such a crazy but ultimately funny guy; the back and forth was fun, if not sometimes a tad aggravating.

I personally can't see myself moving on, i've been on and off about dropping forums for a few years now and this seems like a good time. But thank you to GT and its Staff for keeping this place going for as long as you have, it shows some real dedication.

Awww :( you are one person i'll definitely remember Sheria, you've been here since i got here and i looked for your opinions and those blog Top 10 GOTYs. If this is farewell then please take care of yourself.

LOL right? He and I had our rough times together personally but we made up in the end. I've been dying to figure out where he vanished too. Would love to at least say Hello

What was that game with the Turtle and the Hammer?

Also: If anyone still remembers my: GameTrailers - The Game...I still have it for download if anyone wants to get it. It uses a lot of the old memes, jokes, rants, and a ton of users that only GT users would really understand.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/gametrailers-video-game-now-available

This is not self promotion...this is literally only possible because of how many of you amazing people chipped in with ideas, jokes, and characters for me to work with ^_^

I was only here a month but man I gotta say, I really like this place and I'm in tears a bit to see it go. I wish could join you guys on steam, but after trying for 10 minutes it's made it pretty clear that it won't let me make an account. Hopefully I'll catch some of you elsewhere. If you ever see the name RepentantSky on a forum, that's probably me, so feel free to hit me up if you ever run by that name.

Ill always remember derailing one of the Street Fighter threads by posting a single lyric from a Queen song...In fact
I've paid my dues...Time after time

Ah, didn't realize that there was a thread for this.

Made a guide for downloading videos from the website if anyone's interested:
http://www.gametrailers.com/forums/read/667.934291-Download-videos-from-GT

Gonna be really sad if even a tiny amount of gaming history is lost when this place gets shut down. Even sadder than I am right now. Urgh, it's like 1UP all over again. I think I'm cursed... or quality content creators are, one of the two.

I remember the Valhalla thread.

Do share. I'd like to download it lol.

I also remember princemaw and thinking he was the coolest guy ever.

Do you by chance have any screens from it?
Particularly the thread where that one dude had a complete mess of a post with horrible english and stuff?
Also the one where that one guy made a thread about "accidentally touching a girls boob on purpose"? lol
