<div class="IPBDescription">Report In</div> I've been involved around here since last June. Most people probably don't recognize me now because of the influx of new community leaders. But remeber those good ol days right before NS's release? Small community, core interest, and everyone was nice. Not that NS's success is bad. Its just different. I certainly miss some aspects of that time. Though its nice to have a reg number below 800 =D Damn young'ns can't be disrespecting me!

    I'm kind of old skool. Mine is jus under the 1000 mark. I made my account in july last year but didn't really pay attention to the forums till the mod was released.

    So none of you young uns disrespect me either!

    Lol...err...

    I came to the forums as soon as I played NS. It's actually the first FPS I've ever had, so it's pretty much the only game I play, thus the high post count. I'd rather talk to people then watch TV, another reason for such a high post count.

    I hadn't heard of NS until the day it was released. I'm not old-skool, but I consider myself pretty knowledgeable.

    Well, on these forums I am #1 behind a test account, Monse and Flayra <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Now, if you want old, who remembers the days of the first forums when they ran fast? wow.... back before testing had even started, before there was even community moderators, only Flayra and his team!

    I really disdain all those who joined the forums on or after the release of NS. They're completely clueless, most always ranting and raving about imbalances and hacks. Have they ever heard of playing a game and being thankful that they have it?

    I'm pretty sure most of the serious posters wouldn't have joined were it not the addictive nature of NS, and the need to share strats/learn new ones. As for the bad apples, it happens everywhere you go (even private colleges! *gasp*)

    CS'ers aren't bad.. it's the ones that can't type, or read, or just post whatever to boost their #

    [sidenote] I originally wasn't going to post here, but I have to agree with the gist of what injury said, we're not all clueless N00bs, nor are all the people that have been playing NS since it came out. [/sidenote]

    I'm know 'Neag' IRL, I think he's member no 11 or 12 or something. We got interested in the mod at the same time, just that he registered to the forums while I did not... So I'm forever to be considered a n00b <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'm fairly new, but I was here before the game came out.
    About a month or two before it had gone gold for that matter.

    Ok, here's a test for the "old-school": Who remembers the screams of delight when the NSTR was first released?

    The nostalgia is driving me to open VHE again. MMMMM PSEDIT <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Since NS has been released I can now safely say


    I Downloaded the NSTR just so I could look at all the cool stuff! (And I'm not a mapper!)
