Ive played the game since the day it came out, I founded (with my best friend) one of the first clans in the game to my knowledge (Sons of Metal [SoM]) but my join date is just about late '03.

Hey guys! just randomly popped back on being a bit bored w/ the games I've been playing atm. NS was a damn good ride, thinking about DLing it on my new system and playing.
As for history I remember 1.2 possibly before and played through 2.0 so been around for a bit.
As for forum jokes... wasn't there a Short gun? or Shirt gun something...

Wow - I was just talking to a friend of mine about oldschool NS days, and I popped on over to the site here. surprise surprise my login worked, and then I find this little cove of a thread with a lot of "old school" names I recognize.
X5 I definitely remember. I think I remember there being an issue with your name - it needed to be longer than 2 characters or something... so you became "the x5" to comply. I actually remember a lot of the names in here (though I would be surprised if you guys remember me). I spent most of my time in the OT debating the great questions of life.
Anywho - its great to be back, and I hope to get a few more posts under my belt again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
p.s. I miss my avatar... used to be the gorgie <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pudgy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::gorge::" border="0" alt="pudgy.gif" />
my forum handle and ingame name are different but i used to go under the name Nosferatu. Played on most of the better known servers such as G4B2S and NSArmslab (<3 you guys). Started playing somewhere just before 1.04 was released, on the c|E clanserver. good times.
I remember sitting about my apartment and coming across something on NS. I remember thinking, ah man another CS clone for HL, so many now a days. I looked in on the site and I was instantly hooked. I remember a lot more servers being up and all the 1.0's. Personally I thought the game was better before CO was added but I still play and enjoy it. It's faster now and different but the core is still there and it rocks rolling to victory. I have been playing as The Evil One since i started and i usually roll in <Bad> clan innocent until proven guilty or I am in [I-AM] Gorges hideout. I have sat in NSable and G4BTS. I stopped playing for a long time due to connection issues. Found out months later it was router firmware and sorted it out. Good to see so many prerealese people still trolling in here.
