<div class="IPBDescription">Who was here before release?</div> I know I've been away for a while (it's not my fault the game is so fun), but yeah I don't recognise any of these people posting where have all oldies gone? You all playing the game too much? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    old age is a killer.

    probably forgot all about NS.

    Other places. I still regularly read and moderate the forum, but I just dont see as many topics I feel up to posting in anymore. Alas.

    I'm by no means a popular oldie, but I've been around for quite some time and am still posting quite frequently. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It seems most of us 'oldies' are suffering from the same thing, there's hardly any threads worth posting in. Now the majority of the forums seem more like the pre-release Ideas forum, maybe even worse

    I'm not old, but I agree with the people here. A flood of stupidity has infected the forums.
  • VenmochVenmoch Join Date: 2002-08-07 Member: 1093Members
    I'm here, I just don't post as much!
  • PseudoKnightPseudoKnight Join Date: 2002-06-18 Member: 791Members
    The stupidity is one of the main reasons why I'm still posting. I like informing others.
    Plus there's the big balance issue that keeps dragging on. (and will, forever)

    I'm not exactly an oldie, but I was here a month before release (about) and I must admit, I miss those forums. I rarely saw flames. Now the entire board is like a big city that caught fire and the moderators are firefighters that lack the amount of hoses needed to put it out. I think they should ask some people who have proven their maturity to become moderators and help keep the board clean. If that doesn't happen, I'm just going to start a group with people dedicated to calming down flamers, llamas and jerks.

    I've not be around long, but it has to be said these forums do seem to have a lot of rubbish on them.
    Apparently Flarya is paying through the nose for the bandwidth, and I cannot imagine him keeping it up if things don't improve. Hell, I don't want him too - he's worked and is working his **obscenity** off for the mod, I don't think he should be paying loads for the forums so that a load of idiots can talk rubbish.
    It would be a shame, but I don't think the forums can be value for money from the dev's point of view.

    /me been around for some time (be fore the 'summer' release)

    meh, I still post a decent amount (I try to help others when I can)
    Also I just have this ingraned smack the idiot reflex that I am trying to hold back (not to well unfortunatly)

    I generaly try and tell ppl what has been discussed into the floor like 50 times over, and I got a thing against flames so I tend to try and help out (blech I don't do squat)




    /me misses the old forums I want the good old iron fist, so many of these posts should have goten the <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>NUKED! </span></span>

    oh well

    live n kickin =)


    Not an PT or Dev, or even an singnificant person, but I've been around since before the release atleast =)
  • SonoSono Join Date: 2002-01-26 Member: 105Members
    I R still here!

    Oh well.. .why we 'oldies' are gone:

    1.) Not so many topics to post on.

    2.) I am using dial up without flatrate, so online time is limited. So I am playing NS instead of posting here.
  • Ph0enixPh0enix Join Date: 2002-10-08 Member: 1462Members, Constellation
    Ignore the reg' date, i've been lurkin since May/April.

    Theres just too many posts/topics which talk about something already done to death. Occasionally i'll see a novel post, help out someone asking questions or clarify something but otherwise theres just too much spam at the moment to post anything worthwhile.

    Not that I post much anyways <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    playing, school, waiting for the forums to clear up a bit and start being a little more productive. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've been browsing these forums since I signed up..

    <----

    Started posting regularly about 2 days before the release of NS, but after NS was released I couldn't play for 2 days due to social life.

    I'm here, I'm with most of the oldies, threads just don't hold the same value they once did.
  • Rico1Rico1 NS Oldtimer Join Date: 2002-05-24 Member: 664Members
    I still post from time to time to set people straight, but i really dont find any threads worth posting anymore. Most of us oldies hang around IRC in our private channels and stuff.

    /me wishes the forums were like they were before.

    Plus, this forum skin makes my eyes bleed <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That's a shame. I hope the boards stay. Maybe people with straighten up <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    Not an oldie, but maybe one reason the posts are so boring is because there is no real competition yet. I find that once people join clans/tribes they and compete on ladders things become much more interesting.

    I'm here, but you wouldn't know unless I let you know.
  • VyvnVyvn Join Date: 2002-08-24 Member: 1226Members
    In the weeks pending NS's release, the majority of threads were taken up with requests to "get the game out already," and posts that asked questions such as "what are the marine's guns?" "just how big is the Onos?" and "where are teh h0stehs?"

    In the weeks following NS's release, the majority of threads are taken up with things like "I like NS <b>BUT</b>..." "I think the aliens are way too strong!" and "where are teh gl0ckz0rs?"

    Maybe, eventually, the complaints and flames will die down, and semi-sensible discussions about fun matches and such will return to being the dominant topic.

    But then again, I wouldn't be considered very old to the forums, would I?

    Well it's nice to see that so many of you 'old' posters are here. I miss Fam's stories. They were good but now they all gone <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
