<div class="IPBDescription">Hard to believe it's already been 6 years ...</div>It's October 31st. 6 Years ago today the first version of Natural Selection was released to the public.
I'm kinda disappointed that nobody on the NS Forums noticed ... Is the NS Community really this dead already?

    Good catch, Sprengi. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    How many of you can say you were here 6 years ago?

    I noticed! It randomly ran across my mind this morning when I was getting ready for work. Hard to believe it's been 6 years!

    We just looked through some of those old news updates...brings back some major memories. The <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/news/2002/03/playtest_imminent_claim_sources" target="_blank">first LAN playtest at Iron Lore</a>, <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/news/2002/04/playtesting_and_april_fool_s" target="_blank">the first internet playtest</a> (loved that!), <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/news/2002/10/natural_selection_released_forums_up_soon" target="_blank">release day</a>, the site going down, Max joining the team, etc. So much has happened but I still feel like we're just getting off the ground.

    We'll see if we can release some cool stuff for you today to make this Halloween just a little more special. Thanks for sticking with us.

    My signup date is kind of pathetic. I Only registered to get those awesome vet-icons when they announced the ATI tourney. Good times. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Let's spill some shots for yet another 6 years of fun with NS. Heck, imagine some of us being with one kind of game for 12 years. Meet and greet would rock then I guess. Bring your kid to NS day and so on, I like that image <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    6 Years. Dam.

    I remember the fun play testing before ( and after! ) the Halloween release.
    Doubt anyone here remembers who GreyFox5 is anymore <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
    I even had to get a new password, it's been so long since I've logged in, I've forgotten the dam thing.

    I remember surprising Flayra so much that he squealed like a little girl over voice.

    NS has always, and will be a great game to me. I loved it months before it came out. I screamed with joy when I got to play test. I laughed on that Halloween night, owning nubs who just had downloaded the game for the first time. I gritted my teeth and left after a misunderstanding. I came back, missing the game so much I ignored everything.

    Still, even then, it's been a year since I've installed NS. I think I'll try it again.

    Grey

    I do remember you having an apatite for my face, Comprox. Skulk teeth take time to pull out.

    I also remember laughing so hard it hurt when you stuck a "Protect" order on Fam's head when he refused to obey you. You're a great com. And I was your welder monkey.

    Wow! Happy belated birthday. I actually remember the first time I played this; my brother had found it somewhere and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It's still in my top 10 coolest games. That's longevity for ya.
