    My profiles wrong on when I started by about a month (it
    says january 30th). All the vets know I had to resign up
    because I was half awake when I signed up the first time
    and spelled it wrong. I left it like that for about a month
    before I resigned up, Anyway my sig says omg I spelled
    alien right because the first time around I spelled it
    alian, wow I was tired when I did that. I think I signed
    up the first time 2 days after the new boards where set up
    so anyone who signed up on the first day the boards where
    up add two days and thats how long Iv been here.

    Well thats just a little bit of the confusion and story
    behind me....

    I've actually been here since November 26 (5 days after my birthday), although I'm pretty sure that I've been following the mod for a little longer than that.  Almost half a year here  <!--emo&:0--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'><!--endemo-->

    heh I was registered on the old forums but only had like 4 posts on them, I think a week or 2 after I registered they changed forums, thank god, these forums are much faster.I hope  this community can stay the way it is, or at least as long as possible. Oh and I'm almost every day on IRC, #naturalselection is great fun <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I'm in here since the 23th July 2001.
    Shame on me for not checking PHL one day earlier.

    I can't remember when I joined up first. Of course that date is wrong, since I was on the old forums as well. I think i've been here since about october, but correct me if I'm wrong (wow 6 months, oogoo&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Yah, I have been thinking about that recently, and I have a few done... but I don't know what happened, the idea just stopped and I forgot about them, until I noticed the file on my HDD yesterday, I am definately going to finish them up this weekend, at least the main buttons, I might have to work on the icons later.

    I've been following the mod since November 2001, didn't join the forums though until a few weeks before the switch.

    Last November, the day Gamespy had the modworld coverage. If you care, <a href="http://www.gamespy.com/articles/november01/modworld3/index3.shtm" target="_blank">this simple description</a>, "Natural Selection - almost a real-time strategy game with futuristic strategic action," along with the screenshot of *something* (could someone tell me what map that is?), grabbed my attention.

    So, I visited the site, looked around, tried to read the "World" section but I couldn't sit still, and then a couple days later I signed up on the forums, and started mapping. Then I had a question about particle systems, but no one answered me, so I wrote my own <a href="http://66.70.175.88/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.cgi?action=Read&BID=4&TID=3865&P=1&SID=31212#ID16" target="_blank">tutorial</a> about it. Ahh, those were the days.

    It has been a wait, but every day is closer to release. If you can't stand the wait, I would suggest taking up some NS-related hobby, such as mapping, making pictures, composing a theme song entirely out of armpit noises (:0), etc. to keep you busy.

    We're already into playtests, so it really cannot be much longer at all! Just hold on guys

    That's definitely Integrate's work.  I couldn't say which map that is, or if he's even still working on that one.  I know he showed off some work a couple months back (February, I think), though I haven't seen anything since.  Hopefully he still is working, because his maps looked great.

    And I've been around since September 18th.
