There have been some server hardware changes in recent weeks, and while upgrading we discovered a few issues. Some users may experience problems logging in to the forums until this is addressed. Sorry for the inconvenience, we'll take care of it as soon as possible.

Crazy Nickels closes

Sushi the Great — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 17:38:52 +0000

Unfortunately it appears that Crazy Nickels, last bastion of any pre-MAX DDR and other Bemani goodness in the Atlanta area, has closed. This means that Psyton's tournament is cancelled. This also means that the last pre-MAX mix in the state is a lone 5th Mix in Augusta.

The arcade Bemani scene seems to be dying out in Georgia.
