First time I logged on with this account was over Esat Nolimits 56k dialup on an IBM aptiva running Windows 98 that I bought for 600 Irish pounds

Haha! Was Half Life DM back in those days on the Valve servers before Steam existed.

****ing dialup lag meant you had to lead your shots like a fighter jet would shooting at other planes!

I hope all the long timers have had an infraction or two and may a ban aswell. Nothing better than realising we are under the cosh no matter what.

Are all of you goody two shoes or what?

I've weathered a few storms (on the weather forum ha ha), and thankfully am still here. I'm only a baby in comparison to some though!

The people who are here the longest have very few posts per comparison.

The person here since 98 has just over 2500, and thats over the space of twenty years.

2004 was my original account. The forums I frequented definitely had a different feel to them back then. Like a small town then which has since been subsumed by urban sprawl.

A couple of the admins are here since 98, never saw a year below that.

I think that there was one or two users from 1979?

I worked in an internet cafe. Remember them?
I played quake and starcraft. A load of the guys I played with were on boards. It was mainly a forum for Irish gamers.

Yeah, but to be fair.

You could be from Carlow and that could have been last week.

Yeah, going through the user IDs, after Cloud and a couple of others, they go into alphabetical order, which suggests that's how they were imported. I doubt any posts from the old boards were brought across though.

The days and nights of LPBs and shutting down webservers for a ping slightly lower than 250 mS.
