Almost two years...
 

Almost two years I have been on this forum... May '01. Who else was around then? Come on we are the real vets of the boards

Re: Almost two years...
 

Was lurking from the time the site was launched, signed up around june 6th 2001 (oddly enough). Woulda signed up earlier but there was like 3 people on the forums. oOo:

I've been around since I found out about the game (sometime before demo came out)

but apparently I've been around since 'Nam.

Same here. Since the demo came out, I had A quzemoto account long time ago, but I forget the password. and then i lurks around somemore and registered with quze on April 2nd 2002.

I signed up early Jan 2002. I only heard about the game in December when a mate linked me to the Omaha SP demo. It looked awesome but I wasn't chomping at the bit to play it.

So, just after Christmas 2001, we DL the MP demo of Stalingrad and I started a server just for us two.

I remember vividly how, upon loading the map for the first time, it all seemed much larger and darker than it actually is. It seemed like a maze of interconnected rooms and I could hardly see anything until I turned up the brightness.

I remember playing snipers until we realised shotguns were quite fun. I tried a few live servers and slowly got bored of DM until all of a sudden out came the Hunt.

We played that, started getting better at SMG, my mate at sniper and then we started getting hooked.

We came across mohmatch but that seemed a really pedestrian site. Then he showed me aa.com.

Within a week I was in my first flame war about cheating before the game was even out.

/sigh

Memories.

Been here since August 11th (somewhere in there), 2001 cry:

so long ago.

I started browsing here a little after 9-11, I'd say around October. Then, I acutally joined the forums in early November.

9-11 seems like such a long time ago, but in reality it isnt

I was here before the demos were out, then I left, and came back.

You should have never came back you dickless wonder.


Anyway I posted a little bit back in the demo days too, but forgot about the game until it was released.

more like 9-11 seems so close, but in realality it was long ago.

Here in late May, 2001.

Even though it's kind of odd to have a class of "vets", but I think the golden days on these forums were before August of 2001.

Yeah I don't consider myself a vet. I guess I am sense I joined up before more than half of the other posters did, but registration date doesn't mean a whole lot as long as you don't act too gay.

May 2001, I believe. Not too sure when I joined but it was really early on!
Memories...

Zap,Solduis,Shroom... reminds me of a simpons eposide, where Apu and Sideshow Bob are talking about memories of his robbery.

As Bob said "We are a dying breed"
