Wooot, Ancienity contest! /Parades around with double digit member number.
Got interested pretty early, but my computer was too crappy at first to play decently (fps never got into double digits...). Been playing on and off and still love the mod.

I remember browsing around them, never bothered signing up or anything though.
I got the link the day after the original release of 1.0... I made a forum account a week later or so, but I only used it a couple of times and made a new one later since I didnt remember the password (or the login name).
My first NS experience was ns_nothing filled with turrets. Think the long hallways FILLED with turrets that were kind of powerful and didnt stop if you killed the TF. Then imagine hordes of onos and fades charging the turrets and dying without having time to do any damage.
Then imagine those turrets being built over the entire map untill they reached the hives.
Marines won that game :|
"Epic" would be the word of less educated forum goers I believe.
knew about ns pre-release, and i played a few 1.x games. don't remember which, dialup was what i was using, didn't play much. really picked up again in 3.x, with college dsl.
and yea, i NEVER post. lurk like a crazy man though.
been playing ns since 1.03 my friend had installed it for me! But didnt realise there was a webby untill a few months ago and it was down for the move when i found it!

2.0 here. (I dunno if this counts as "early") I signed up at the forums later <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
First found out about it a couple of months before it came out, was a regular lurker back then. Now I just lurk from time to time.

I'm playing NS since I installed version 1.0 from a GameStar cd. Made a little pause between 1.04 and 2.0. I'm around here since I started playing in a clan.
1.0, and it's been one helluva ride. But since I am "Replying to Old People" I will lay claim to being the oldest NS player EVAR! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Yeah Niteowl my profile is correct. When I registered on these fora it wouldn't allow me to select "Depot" (already taken, unavailable, or WUTevuH) yet a search of members showed no such member existed - oh well, Teh Elder gets no R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Yeah, it probably WAS from UGL ... I think I'm registered on your forums also. Stop by our server sometime ...
Been playing from first version i had been folowing the game before it was released <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Was sort-of-following NS from about December 01/January 02.
Didn't join the community till May 02, but that still makes me pretty old-school, heh. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Been around pre-1.0 release.

I can remember every single build and I have to say its been a fun ride. I look forward to the future.
