Seeing someone who just joined today being #99,939 it's only a matter of hours now, so allow me to be the first to say grats on reaching six figures UW.
Can't believe I've been playing this game for so long! I registered here in 03 to make a suggestion to the devs about adding flares or lights to the game for the commander. They ended up doing it!
I'm very thankful they've managed to keep this database going for so long. I know it was a lot of trouble for them back in the day.

During most of that time there was no company, and Charlie was doing contract work to help pay the bills while seeking out investor funding to do NS2 properly. I think Max partnered with him sometime in '07 and they started to get the company together. They hired one other person in early 2008, then I joined in June 2008. Even then, there was just 4 of us in the office, and it was mostly planning things out and making decisions about the engine and tools, and concepting/prototyping. It wasn't really until towards the end of that year that we got some mappers to start messing around with the editor, and some more art help.
So, NS2 has been in active development for a little under 3 years, which is not that unheard of in the game industry, especially for such a small team.

They have already done that in secret. It is only a matter of time before they properly take over the internetz. The world will shortly follow after that.
