desray Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 A walk down memory lane for the XP "old birds"...do you still have this XP Polo tee? I'm still wearing it at home. Idea first came up back in 2004 and only materialized almost 2 yrs later IIRC. Can't believe it is more than a decade already and who would have known that we XP forum can survive for so long! :)
petetherock Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 +1 And I still wear that and the SVS tee shirt. Met a few bros who delivered it.. Was it Dandon who made it?

c14659 Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 any plans to do another xtremeplace t-shirt mass order?
dbchoong Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 I've got both. Shrunk - like most of my older shirts.... ;D
desray Posted September 9, 2018 Author Posted September 9, 2018 The "logo" was designed by me back then...and still used in this forum till this very day. Over the years, I had designed many logos for X'tremeplace and even websites etc. I recalled back then I actually proposed the idea to create something like a HardwareZone Portal replete with product reviews ranging from Home Theater to Hi-Fi and IT electronics but alas it did not materialize...Queks and the Mods decided to stick with Echoloft style of information and knowledge based sharing instead of "jack of all trades". So to answer some of the noobies questions on why we did not have a dedicated home page etc...it is more of an unanimous decision made by us. Many didn't realize that majority of the "old birds" such as myself started off as member with HWZone forum (before bought over by SPH)...abnd ever since HWZone started with paid membership subscription to enjoy certain "deluxe" privileges, a bunch of us decided to join X'tremeplace forum and the rest is history...
desray Posted September 9, 2018 Author Posted September 9, 2018 For those interested to see one of the "many few website design templates" that I had created in the past and a bonus Sharp XV-Z2000 DLP projector review put up by me. Here's an easter egg for ya: http://www.xtremeplace.com/temp/images/xtremeplace_mainpage/index.htm

DanDon Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 The Polo Tee reminds me of the good old days. :-* Sadly I gave up the HT room to my daughter who has grown up. Now I have the stereo set-up in the hall but hardly use it as now my interest is cycling and table tennis. ;)
synthesis1624705793 Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 I still have the black one. Probably the last made.

desray Posted September 10, 2018 Author Posted September 10, 2018 Glad to see DanDon and bro Quest still lurking around here... :) Living a healthy lifestyle is more important than spending $$$ on home theater.
francis wu Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Quite a number of Bros who came to my place for shoot out have quietly left Xtremeplace although I still have their contacts :)

Seldom visit XP nowadays. Occasionally click XP to look see look see. ;) When age is catching up, health issues arise. So better to exercise to keep fit when possible.
