<div class="IPBDescription">I'm very very impressed</div>I know that those threads appeared occasionally in the past, sometimes mutating to a prayer-fest, sometimes to a flame-fest.
I'm following this mod since March 2002, catched by a (in my opinion incredible) <a href="http://www.readyroom.org/ns_maps/ken20banks/nothing_picture15_full.jpg" target="_blank">screenshot</a> of SpaceStationNothing. I looked around the main page and got to the forums.
This was the first time I ever really <i>used</i> a forum, and after a couple of weeks, I thought that I know enough to post my own ideas.
At that point, I didn't know how special this community was. I had never used other forums before, so I thought it were normal to be friendly and open-minded to Newcomers (I hate the word "Newbie" or "Noob"). Now that I'm more experienced in the World Wide Web, I know that that's something I won't find again soon.
But perhaps I was even more impressed by the dedication of the developers. I always admired people who spend their free time to create a modification, but here I was able to get a little idea of how much dedication is possible.
I still admire everyone who creates something free in his spare time, but I fear that none can beat the Natural-Selection Developers in terms of dedication.
Normally I checked the forums every day, looking for news. The release was always "very near" and only a few really believed that I think. Then, some weeks ago, the official map-list was released, and rumours about a big "PR-Blitz" started. At that day, I believed that the release was near. Unfortunately, I was forced to leave my precious Internet-connection two weeks ago and just got back.
I wasn't able to check the forum for exactly 14 days.
That was a hard time.
However, today I'm just impressed. I know that this sounds weird because I was impressed before, I was always impressed.
But today, as I see the work of four days PR-Blitz, as I read the Manual (great design Fam) and watch the trailer, I begin to realize what dimensions this mod (a shame to call this still a mod) has taken.
I want to congratulate all who were and/or are involved in the creation of Natural-Selection.
I think sometimes even the Developers didn't know how big things can get.
I also want to thank them all. Some people don't like praising fans like me, but I just had to say this.
