Welcome to GeekSpy!
GeekSpy was set up in 2012 to bring some forumers from the GameSpy, 3D Action Planet, and Planet Black & White forums together again - a decade after meeting on GameSpy's ForumPlanet. Sporting a vintage look and feel, the GeekSpy Forums were themselves archived in 2023 after running for about as long as ForumPlanet did. The site now serves as a place for a quick nostalgia hit.
As well as some old-timey foruming, GeekSpy also hosts a repository of ForumPlanet's old user icon collection, drawn by Gabe of Penny Arcade. In 2012 I spruced up the old icons with vector-enhanced versions that look a bit nicer on modern screens, as Gabe no longer has the originals (we checked!)
Thanks to the efforts of Archive Team, much of ForumPlanet as it existed from 2007-2012 was archived. Anything from before that time can only be seen on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
With the GeekSpy Forums now archived, you may be able to touch base with old contacts via one of the below channels:
- The GameSpy Lobby on IGN's boards
- The GeekSpy group on Steam
- The PBnW group on Steam
GeekSpy.net will remain online for as long as I feel like it. If you'd like to get in touch, you can email me on my username below @ this domain.
