Good Ole Posters
<div class="IPBDescription">non elitest post, no worries</div> So what ever happened to all those fellas who used to post here from the begining, Legionaired for example, just disappeared. I've lurked on these forums for a long arse time now [check join date], and it seems a lot of people left the community.
Any other old forum geuisers out there?

going back to check my first post, it's date the day I signed up, and it's a mapping question...so I'm not quite sure how long I was playing before that (started the map at least 4 months after I got NS.
[edit] I think some people, like MonsE, have gone off and gotten new houses and jobs and stuff...
Heh heh, I joined the day before you ultima but looky at the post count difference!
But I do catch your drift - there are precious few who have a 2002 join date nowadays. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Dont forget me, I'm an "old timer", though it kinda feels weird saying that, considering I remember my first post like it was yesterday.

I was tramping fearlessly down the roads of dod_heatua, carbine in hand, ping hovering in the mid 200's when I overheard two nazi ubermensch (or grenadiers as some call them) discussing space combat. I leapt around the corner, popped off a full clip at both of them, and died without scoring a hit because they'd shot my toe 10 seconds ago. I opened console, typed quit, opened google and found rr.org I think. Read the FAQ, decided on the spot I'd never play anything but marines, found these forums and the rest is history. Except now I am a hardcore skulker <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
EDIT
Hrrm are you sure otto.... I was playing the first week of NS, I played 1.00 I'm 100% sure, but if you didnt find it until 1.02 and then signed up to the forums, then how does that work.....
Maybe I remembering things wrong, because I was pretty confident I signed up to the forums before playing/downloading :/
That's a ..ahhh... pretty damn nice sign up date you have there graypaws.... I hear a lot of skilled and respected people signed up on that date too y'know..... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hey Jediyoshi
MonsE I am rather sure did.
greedo, spyder monky, humbaba and way more names that I can't remember atm.
some of them are still around.
Some of them didn't realy like the large comunity thing (meh, to each his own)
some people got driven out b/c of things like General becoming nearly unreadable (why I now hang out mainly in here, and tech help)
/me ponders and goes back tolook at names
and on the subject of first posts...
well, mine was what hooked me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I was bumming around looking for a new mod (as all of my old ones had died ;(
Come on N-S.org, read the stuff in RR.org. Read through tailsfrom the front lines...
Make a post with a bunch of questions (that had no solid answers anywhere), and the first (or one of the first) people to reply was Flayra, with answers to all of my questions <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
twas great
hehe, oh, right, was under a different name:
<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5260&hl=' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...wtopic=5260&hl=</a>
my first post was on the old forums that got deleted (I think they did.)
Ironically, it was an S&I post about having marine "classes," including a medic. Ouch.

You sure? then maybe I did play 1.0.... I forget. I know I played it like two days before a patch, so I dunno.
So yeah...still here.
Edit: Oh wait, joined the forums a few days later. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So many people don't post anymore though... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

As the forum grew bigger I think alot of us lost that close community feeling and moved on to other things. As a result most of the vetran posters visit from time to time but never stop long. Thats just the way it is...
And as I said before, Im gonna cry! D:
But you can't get much more old school on these forums at least, than me. Only Monse and Flay have accounts before me (besides testing accounts). And I am still, due to good chains, sticking around <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
all that time and only 100 posts.
