Why did you join the Relic Boards?

[No Surrender]

I've been meaning to ask this for a while now but I always seem to forget. So... which game did you join the RN boards for?

[Thaum]

Good question..... It seems so long ago now, but I seem to remember joining to report the bug on the 4th level of HW 1, where you could not produce any more ships if you captured any more than 11 ships or something like that.

I think that Relic were aware of it and had already released a patch by the time I joined.

And now 4.5 years later I am still here. Many of the handles have changed, but there are still some of the originals about. (or the greys as I like to call them).

All in all this is a pretty cool BB with a nice selection of good decent people and ideas. Hence the reason I keep coming back.

[Homdax]

I needed technical support back in 99.
Überjumper and some others helped me soo well I hung around for a little while.

Then it faded. The release of Cata did not really motivate me to get back.
The release of HW2 did. Soo much as my nick is what I felt, HOME Again!

Since then my primary goal is being a decent community member.

I stay, because once you get to learn a few ppl, You realize You dont need any other Forum for the games you love.

[Russian Ninja]

The GAN saga.

[Handarazuur]

I think I posted after learning that HW2 was being made. Not that it really mattered, since my computer was and still is nothing more than elaborate stone knives and bearskins. Still, I liked the feel of the community, and stuck around.

[Master Chief]

I kinda just started because my brother did it. :dunce: That, and I like Homeworld and Homeworld 2, so I joined up to talk about that.

[No Surrender]

Well I joined after getting the HW1 GotY edtion on discount. At that time I found out that HW2 was being made so I stuck around. And then I heard abt DoW, which is why I'm still here. But most importantly I'm here because this is one of the best communities I've ever seen.

[SquidDNA]

Bug report and suggestions after playing the HW demo, and then I disappeared. I continued to check RN now and then, and then one day I saw "In defense of stupidity..." on the front page under "recent threads." It turned out to be a continuation of a science vs. religion thread that had been locked, and as this is a topic I've meditated upon since late grade school, I was sucked in. I liked it so much they let me work here!

[ilia1986]

I joined a short time before the relase of HW2 Demo. After finding out that EVE was apay-per-play game, I focused my attention to the other highly promising RTS: HW2. Because I needed so much information about Storyline, Stratefy and tactics, tips and tricks, I decided to register here. At first, I posted really really crappy posts, mainly because This was my real massive first interaction to other ppl over the internet, and I thought that this place is like your average backyard. Well, I was wrong (Duh!). After I realized that this place is more like a school or an office, than the backyard, I started to behave accordingly.

What I would like to say is:

Thanks to all of you, for your sheer critisism, objective views, patience, and the so much needed help. Without you all, I would have still remained that forum-troll+n00b whom I was at the beginning. You opened my eyes to the world of online communities. Cheers!

:)

[Moe]

Please add a "none of the above" to the poll. I stumbled upon the fora after googling and trying to find out what the hell armadas are. Decided to stay and check it out. Haven't been able to leave since.

[NovaBurn]

I got done beta testing Earth and Beyond and I decided to get into homeworld again. So I joined up ont eh forums. I had been on the forums a year earlier during the time when Homeworld2 was a mere myth and rumor. I forget why I left though.

[ionfish]

blu told me to.

[Kroggy]

I checked RB, the Guidestone and some other fansites briefly back in 2000 after reading the Annual PCGamer Awards and seeing this "Homeworld" mentioned quite a few times. I never found a copy of the game where I was living at the time, invoking a mighty "Meh" from me. Not having the game, I didn't bother.
Fast forward a few years, (I have a copy by now) and I read an article that HW2 had been cancelled, I didn't even know it was being made, second "Meh" invoked.
Some time later, I come accross Arioch's HW Shipyards, where I read HW2 is on track, I check a few days later, and some ÜberJumper guy has 6 screenshots, I know I've heard the name before, one google search and here I am. I registered a couple of months later.

[Starfisher]

I joined to argue in one of the evolution vs creationism threads. I think I might have come here looking for a way to rip the HW music... but yeah, it was the intelligent, rational, reasoned debate that made me stay.

*cough*

[ÜberJumper]

I was looking for a solution to the problem of alt+tabbing out of the HW1 demo. I came here to look, couldn't find anyone posting about it, and promptly found a fix, then wrote a post about how to sort it out.

I ended up posting so much helping people fix problems in the demo and HW, that I ended up being responsible for organizing the HW Bug forums. Just kinda carried it on since then.

[Afoxi]

I actually joined in the days of Homeworld.org

[Dimension]

i grew interested in HW after reading part of a walk through, with some awesome screenies. not wanting to have the game spoiled to me, i stopped reading from mission 5 on. there was a URL at the back, which took me to these forums, on which i lurked 1-2 months before registering as "Mantis" in late november 99. then i ordered an english copy of HW for a fortune via the internet. stopped posting and playing HW in the middle of 2000 due to me spending more time with friends and girlfriend. started playing HW again in spring 01, but only participated on my clan's forums and sometimes lurked the strat fora.

i think i even signed briefly back up some time in 2001, but then the fora were purged and i stopped going there again for some time.

signed back up in 2003 more or less out of boredom.

[Ammon Ra]

Homeworld 1. :)

[Agdune]

i joined mostly because i'd started playing homeworld cataclysm MP, and wanted to know what the people in the WON lobby were talking about. i still don't know, but what the hell.

[Rent-a-Zilla]

I joined (24th March 2001) because of Cataclysm MP (my original name was CaptainPugwash, but I changed it after a board crash or something).

I drifted away at some point, but came back when I knew HW2 was a certainty.

[Stripe7]

Too long ago to remember why I joined. I stay because of the community.

[bluevorlon]

I was crap at HW1 and I needed help.

Never quite got round to leaving...

[rc mad]

I found this forum through a link on the sierra boards, (i was registered there, but the boards were pretty crud) had a look round the forums, liked what i saw so i moved over here. :D

I stay cos theres always some interesting thread somewhere and its just about the best forums i have found.

[Gazbeans]

I bought Homeworld 6 months before I finally got the internet in 1999.When I did,i used google to find any sites about HW,which led me to relicnews,and eventually to these hallowed halls.Never wanted to leave:)

[jetfx]

I bought Homeworld back in 2000 (the Game of the Year Edition when it first came out), and I absolutely loved the story behind, so I would surf the internet looking for fanfic. I came across several sites, but I think this was one of the last I found (I first came here in late in 2001, signed up, but never posted. I came back in the summer of 2002, but didn't sign up till that fall). Relicforums was probably my first experience with forums, since it was certainly the first one I signed up for. I've been lazy as of late, and haven't posted any fiction in the officer's lounge. I should have something big ready for the summer though.

I don't think I'll be leaving this place though, for a long time yet.

[Artoo]

I got here because of Cataclysm (although that might be kinda innacurate; I had had Cata for a long time, but I got my first internet connection much later so I started checking out sites for info about my favourite games), spent the first month lurking arround and reading some threads. Later the urge to participate became very strong so I started posting...

I intend to stay here to the end... mine or this forum's ;D

[skibb]

what about cata? i know there are some people that joined the forums b/c of that game. as for me-hw1 baby!!!

[Capella]

Hmmm,

I finally joined after HW2 was released. I had been lurking for 3 years, and posted as guest a few times. HW2 got me to asking questions about advanced HW1 salavging. Then the HE2 PDS mod, then GD, and well there have been some interesting responses. Nice to see others view points and begin to understand where your own view points are sourceed from. In other pwrds there is a large scale value here (for the most part) , something other forums fail to offer by being 1) too small or 2) full of jerks.

carrier

[Chrysophylax]

Hmm, I joined 2 months after I Homeworld got Cata, although what really made me sign up was Homeworld (got it bundled with Ground Control + Ground Control Dark Conspiracy for something around 30 €)... Had been playing the demo, after I found it in the Half - Life Cd or something like that... :) although I don't post much, I always kept coming back... sometimes, this forum becomes a nice read :)

[Mnementh]

First gardens mission had me stumped.

Yay for probe chasing swarmers!

[Retroboy]

dyn captured my heart!!11onetwo :luff:

-- Retro

[Someguy]

Back when Homeworld.org was around and I saw a Homeworld Trailer in the Half Life CD.

[The5thElephant]

Way back looking for new HW screenies and movies I joined as SolarFlare42, I was around when sno was at his peak and the GAN stories had just started coming out. Good times. Good times. Then after the HW buzz faded away so did I, and then the internet started feeling empty so I came back as me!

Huzzah! Best forum ever.

[IgnusDei]

to pimp my art, mostly.

[The5thElephant]

One of these days we need to smack Iggy's ego around a bit with a large trout.

[IgnusDei]

only Rob and JAK can wound my ego.


And they are not here to save you.

muhahaha.

[The5thElephant]

/nick JAK

[SpinDizzy]

I think I was trying to join a homeworld clan, or wanted to read the multiplayer strategy guides, not sure.

[Artoo]

From now on I'm gonna devote my life to hurting Iggy's ego

'damn... that thing is BiiiG'




=]

[Starblade]

I'd been lurking here, unseen, for awhile, then I just decided to join.

[Qwaar-Jet]

I had been lurking here since 2001, but I was mainly on the Sierra boards, and due to the board war, it was unwise for me to announce myself over here.Homeworld 2 motivated me to sign up though.

[Zeenith]

My brother introduced me to HW1 back in 1999. One day I got on HW1 mp and meet Uber in a online game on won, he was testing out a new map, (man that was so long ago, remember that Uber?) I then was a guest forum lurker for over a year or so just reading strats and facts and also checking out the mods. I decided to join cause it seem that this forum would be "Interesting", boy was I right. My Vote is HW1!

[FLAMES]

Hy you guys and girls, i dont remember what it was that fully got me here but it was mainly finding out about the release of homeworld from reading pczone.I remember just continualy reading the review over and over just dreaming of the time of its release as i slavurd over the pics of some of the ships (the bits where it talked about some of the indevidual ships like the cloaked fighter and the multigun corvvett) my favrut of that bit about those few shipsys was what is now the light defender.By the way, thinking about it, who was/is tony addams?

[mailpup]

I was at the Sierra Homeworld boards first. I was interested in salvaging and there are many like-minded members there. I came to the Relic forums mostly to try to give Homeworld SP advice to those who asked for help.

[ani]

I came here through cataclym.

at first it was silencio's doing by pointing me to the strats section, then i browsed the other forums and got stuck in.

I've been here ever since, regular on #homeworld on the hwc servers for over a year now too.

[Dan Van Crone]

About 2 years ago I was cruising around the net when word got to me that there was this forum for a game called Homeworld that was in dire need of a cool injection. I couldn't turn down a community in need so I filled a sack with as much awesome as I could carry and set off for this place.

[General Nuke Em]

Somebody's full of himself...

I joined because...I did....

[starrider]

i didnt join for a game really, i joined because HWU got really slow, and i thouhgt, hm, the T-mat mod isnt going anywhere, might as well go join over at relic.

[Zurgnoff]

A google search for homeworld2 led me here

[The5thElephant]

DVC is like that cause he got the best welcome ever. Except maybe Uberbumper.

[TheGeneral]

I joined in '99 wanting to write some Homeworld fiction. I believe my very first piece involved a Tiadanii fleet going off course and running into the Garden, or something.

I've pretty much have been lurking since then, but it's fun to be around.

TheGeneral

[The5thElephant]

You know, I think I read that General. I think it was good. Don't really remember.

Who here remembers the story version of HW1 campaign? The guy who did it was called something with an X, I think he is still around. Those were excellent.

[TheGeneral]

No, it sucked. The idea was good, but I wasn't very good at writing back when I was 13. Not that I'm good now, but things weren't pretty.

Xellos did a Fleet Intelligence Personal Log narrative. Yeah, it was pretty good. I believe he did one for Cata, too.

TheGeneral

[starrider]

he did part of one for cata.

its a shame he never finished it. he mightve i dont remember.

now then, its a damn shame he never did one for hw2.

[JargonFilter]

My dad was subscribed to fortune magazine in which it mentioned homeworld as being a next generation rts game. i saw a really realy small screenie ofa taii scout, and i was hooked. didn't see anything homeworld related for about 4 months, bought the game, and lurked the forums for a long time. i finally joined in 2002.

[Dragon Lord]

Back in 1999 I read a review about Homeworld and started looking around for information about it. I stumbled onto this forum but I couldn't find a lot except some stories on the fiction forum which were pretty good. I then forgot a little about these forums until the game came out when I started lurking at the fiction forums again where I came back every week reading the newest installments of the story written by Xellos. I really didn't have something to say myself so I didn't really join until more than a year later.

I loved the story by Xellos(hem wasn't called xellos a the time btw.) but there was another campaign story written by some guy named quietman which was really good. He stopped writting though after the gardens and his story has been lost which is pretty sad :-(

[ShivaArchon]

First time visiting homeworld.org I read HW > Pants. I had to stick around after that. :D

[Dyntheos]

pike made me do it

[Vijil]

I couldnt get enough of homeworld back in the day, but I dont think I actually joined up here until the announcement of HW2, mainly to pimp my arts (same as Ignus).

Back then, Ignus and OmiKun were like deity to me. Buhaha. To this day, I'm loving this place. I consider this my online home, and have made some great friends here.

[Earth-Command]

I believe I joined up here looking for the answer to why, what and or how the ranking system on the bottom left of the HW interface worked. (after I couldn't get a straight answer off IRC, surprise surprise)

Was here for about 9 months prior to signing up and in fact joined up but could not remember my password to my username :!:


Come to think of it I still don't know how to tell who had the advantage or how it was calculated :!:

[Martian]

I don't remember. But it had something to do with the fact that I played a lot of HW1 in late '99 and early 2001.

I came back in 2002 because I was bored at the time.

Wasn't that an interesting story!?

[LoCo]

None of the above ...

I came here for the writing. Don't get me wrong, I did play HW 1 and I also played Impossible Creatures. But they had nothing to do with why I am here.

Which would explain why I only post in GD or the lounge. (Maybe once in the arty place, but I think that's only once)

Bnonn and Vijil are the people that I heard about it from, so they are the reason you are cursed with my ramblings in GD and why you are fotunate enough to read my work in the lounge :D (Yes that is me pimping my writing.)

My second post (I did it the right way, newbe forum first.) was my first post on a forum. Before that I ahd never been able to get online. (Don't get me wrong, I've been around PCs since I could open my eyes) I just never had a modem or access to the online world. Really sad if you think about it, it's hard to be into computers when everyone else gets their news befroe you do because they get it online. Anyway, my second post was whole bunch of rubbish about my *views* on blackholes. It was stupid and childish, and I took offence when people told me so.

Aahh the days of my online youth. Now, I hardly start a thread of my own. ('sept in the lounge) I only post in some threads and I follow milly around when there is a political thread so that I can lighten his day.

[Taiidan Admiral]

Let's see...

I came to these here forums because I wanted to get some more info on HW2. I had been a big player of HW1 and I was waiting and waiting for HW2 to be released, so I came here to see exactly when the game would be out and such.

:spin:

[FluxX]

HW2, the Serria boards sent me this way...

[[DP]StewMitch]

Got stumped by Mission 5 of HW in the fall of 1999, so I ignored HW for a while... Picked it back up in April 2000 and still couldn't get anything out of it, so I just played around with skirmishes and the like... I also watched the credits and saw a slide thanking www.homeworld.org and here I am... (I think)

[Dark Assailant]

Got stumped by Mission 5 of HW in the fall of 1999have you finished the game... yet?

anyways I became a member bec. of HW on 2001... but my account disappeared and I joined again on 2002... then my account mysteriously flourished again and I finally joined in 2004...

[Asklepios]

Unfortunately, it took Dawn of War for me to discover the wonderful world of Relic and the even more wonderful world of these forums :hmm:
But now I'm here :D

[Harmanoff]

I needed help with the sphere of death. Back then the strategy forums was probably wierder than GD with sno, ttsnb et all... but it started dying out shortly after.

[[DP]StewMitch]

have you finished the game... yet?

anyways I became a member bec. of HW on 2001... but my account disappeared and I joined again on 2002... then my account mysteriously flourished again and I finally joined in 2004...

Yeah, it took a bit of backtracking and strategy (gotta keep your frigate wall moving when you attack the other frig/destroyer groups) and I finally got past it. Beat the game and then moved on to MP.

[LoCo]

have you finished the game... yet?

anyways I became a member bec. of HW on 2001... but my account disappeared and I joined again on 2002... then my account mysteriously flourished again and I finally joined in 2004...

I assume that you mean vanished? Fluorished would mean that it grew well/luxuriantly thrived or prospered or somesuch. And if it did this without you knowing then I'd say there was a problem.

Your accounts disappearing could be for a number of things. The boards could have been purged, you could have been banned ...

[AceRimmer]

Off topic.

June 2003; looking for an extractor for the HW music (bewtiful stuff, that) and got directed here several times. Joined up, never looked back.

[reki]

frstkor kept linking us here for ages on our forums trying to get us to post. I think I finally joined to flame someone on the strat forums sometime in 2000.

About a month later, I got into an Omnislash war with Omni (yes, the original slasher) and Junkyard Dawg in some Mac vs PC discussion - I kinda won the thread so Athexx made me a moderator.

And how we all mourn the day ...

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that was brought here by the games. That makes it ... six? so far.

[reki]

Well, I was also brought here by the game.. I had been playing Homeworld for quite a while before joining, & knew a lot of the guys in the strat forums already from the ladder & WON.

[mrmin123]

I joined because I wanted to bang soul's mum

[TheGeneral]

I thought it was mrmin's mum :\

TheGeneral

[Soulblighter]

hw.

min is just upset because irc made him flunk out of school, quit piano, and i told his dad to shutup, when i was trying to help him with his printer 4 yrs ago.

[Dyntheos]

owned

[mrmin123]

:(

[Greymist]

I blame Bnonn and perhaps Vijil, Bnonn kept pasting threads and I also read some while I was at Vijil's flat one day so I finally registered here and have posted periodically since.

[Falcrum]

Me, I just felt like it.

[Atreides]

Looking to improve myself in Cata and this site was mentioned...

Came for the Book, stayed for the company

[Trinity]

Came over when Homeworld.org stood up. I think it was a wonky Sierra forum before that. Stayed awhile because the game developer (Alex G) actually replied to my emails and the game concept intrigued me because it sounded a bit like Battlezone in Space.

[El Russo]

A friend of mine with the online name Marwood, who a group of the Brits know, introduced me. To this day, have still never played the thing. Not much of an RTS man really...

*cough* Have a nice day *cough*

[Flange]

i joined for the love of all things homeworld and it also looked an interesting site

[SWPIGWANG]

I've lurked since the homeworld.org days, so that explains why I'm here. :)

Yay for uber defender days :p

[Nerath]

I forget how I found the Relic forums, but I joined because I wanted to chat about Homeworld with people. And I became addicted...I'm only leaving more now because I'm in the PaperStarships forum. Otherwise I'd be here something like every day...

Someone at the beginning of this thread mentioned something about "rational debate." Now that one made me laugh ;)

[Pherdnut]

I joined because Vivendi's Homeworld forums sucked.

[Frem]

lol, no one here joined for IC :p

[Qwaar-Jet]

I joined because Vivendi's Homeworld forums sucked.

That's shocking.I much prefer them to here :p

[FeloniousPunk]

I lurked since shortly before the release of HW2, but finally joined to talk about DoW, and 40k in general.

[Stealth]

I've been playing HW since xmas 99, but didn't know that it had an online feature until just before Cata came out (I always thought Multiplayer was a complicated thing that you had to dial into others phone jacks or something like that).

But anyways after I joined TLSC in Sept 2000, MVB and I were talking about a thread which was here, but I didn't even know these boards existed (they were still UBB back then). So in Nov. 2000 I registered to read the thread.

Stuck around ever since.

[the_sidewinder]

The forums were great, and "were" abundant with awsome people, they still are here, for the most part, I love you guys :) and you to relic :D

[jetfx]

Now is that ever bring life to a dead thread.

[Bonnet]

Dam a seventh month illegible bump, now thats a new one. On the other hand we had a two year one going just a little while ago. Strange thing is that it was revalant and left open...

[Slashco]

Well, since someone resurrected this...

I joined the forums after hearing of Dawn of War and getting caught up in the previews. I think I first started contributing in the 'demo impressions' forum after the demo was released (never got in the beta). I actually think this is one of the better message boards I've belonged to, despite the sometimes over-zealous mods.

[King JM]

I joined bec. I am a fan of all Relic games.

[Koki]

Because of Homeworld... when I'm playing a game, i very often check out forum(at the website that it's most appealing to me) related to it. When game is very good, I stay, because who knows when I'll get the fever of playing it again?

[Remmington]

I joined because of homeworld 1 (note i've been a little slow, i got the game in 1999).


Oh and wheres the cataclysm option.... your missing out on about 12 votes there :P

[Sajuur]

I joined for Homeworld1. I got it somewhat late, after Cata had been released for many months. Cata was a hoot, so I decided to check out the orginal, and I proceeded to spend a year of my life playing skirmish/campain as I had no internet. I signed up about when I got internet to try to help learn multiplayer, although I rarely actually was checking the strategy forums.

[Xavier]

I joined for Homeworld 1......and because I wanted to write fiction stories.

[ionfish]

Good grief, will this thread never die? That's a five-month bump, right there.

[Alliance]

I like the necropheliacs around here.

[severijn]

I'm a blight upon this forum since HW2!

[Merturk_NB]

hw one for sure

i think a google search led me to the forums though ... that, or a dl search or relic

[jpaugh78]

God came to me one night and said to me, "Child, go forth to the Relic boards and sign thine self up. Though I could have just been high at the time, who knows.

[Aruthra]

Homeworld 1. It was a long time ago, but I think I got a disk with a demo of it from a friend from one of those magazines. The training mission hooked me. I think my first ever experience with these boards came right near the end of when they were still on the Relic website, which is probably why I found them.

Several accounts later, due to forum wipes and idle member deletions, and here I am!

[HunterX]

Of course I said Homewrold, but it was a college buddy of mine, Tekron, that showed me this site back in the UBB days. Most of you don't know who he is (If you joined in 2002 or later), left the forums a couple of years ago.... unless he's lurking around somewhere under a different name....

EDIT: Dear sweet zombie jebus.... I responded to this thread not realizing how old it was..... five month bump.... I remeber a while ago one of those "How'd you get your screenname" threads lasting close to a year and a half.

[ionfish]

The only people with posting levels anything like Tekron's are Retro and Jumper, and I'm fairly sure neither of them are him.

[SquidDNA]

Wow, Tekron! That's a name I haven't heard since...

[No1lives4ever]

Got here because of HW2,
I loved HW1, when i found out that hw2 was in development i searched for it on google.. it directed me to these forums.

.played through HW2 once.. never touched it again :) ...

[MaD_hAmiSh]

I came with DoW. Riding on the bit of tape that holds the box closed.

[PhoenixLord]

I finally desided to joined the forums because I liked all of relics games and thought DoW looked promising.

[General Blaze]

Played HW1 but joined for DOW. 'nuff said. ;)

[TheDeadlyShoe]

Hard question. I had an account for HW1. Got deleted. Then an account for HW2. Got deleted. Now account for DoW. What does that count as? :)

[ionfish]

"Didn't log in enough."

[n0z3k1ll3r]

Wow... no-one joined for IC at all? It wasn't THAT bad...

Anyway, I joined in order to bring sanity and rational discussion to the DoW forums. It hasn't worked yet.

[General Blaze]

You did your best. That's all that matters. :D

[MaD_hAmiSh]

Don't worry noze, it'll happen some day. Then Demons will start buying Scarfs, gloves and Toques.

[EarthBorn]

I joined for HW ad HW2...

[Void]

I was redirected from rakrent where i was searching for some mods for hw1

[Esa]

Cause I had issues with DOW

[The_Assimilator]

I got HW, played it, loved it, and looked around on the web for HW-related websites. I found RelicNews in 2000/2001, read most of the articles therein (anyone remember "Premature Ejumpulaunch"?) and eventually began reading the forums, altho I only joined the fray in 2001.

I'm glad to be here.

[No1lives4ever]

hmm.. how long can one stay inactive before his/her account will be deleted?

[El Russo]

6 months I believe, but if Dyn spots oldies' names he usually spares them. All you have to do is login and you're active.

[No1lives4ever]

Ah, k.. so its not like when you get back from vacation your account will be deleted ;)

Thx

[Void]

This thread won't die....it's undeadish

[I_am_the_Wombat]

Well, I joined because I like to post a-lot and well I've heard a-lot about the games that have been made, so mre or less, its because I like to Post.

[Kaldaris]

The Dawn of War Beta made me join the Relic Boards, even though I already had Homeworld 2 .

[A176]

i will wait for next year's bump to finally answer this thread.

[the_sidewinder]

This thread won't die....it's undeadish

we could alwaays go for it to be closed. But we would just get another one in a few months

[TheGeneral]

Wow. This thread's so old it's survived one of my lurking cycles.

TheGeneral

I remember way back when, I got a magazine because of a mailing error, and on the front it had a really cool shot of homeworld. I remember finding it absolutely facinating, so I scoured the internet for more, and found the forums. I didn't join 'till way later, but that magazine article is the reason I am now spending more money than is sane on Warhammer 40K models... hmm, intersting how that turned out...

I joined these forums in mid 99, like july or so, but my date dosent reflect it because a lot of the people claiming old school dates pre 01 are edited anyway, to what they claim was their dates before forum crashed and i never cared enough to cry about it. but anyway i've been around since beta 1 of hw april-may 99. so I was originally here for hw beta 1 & 2 (i still have the hw beta cd infact.. )

I was linked to the forum by athexx or madhatter.

and where the hell is the love for cataclysm. just because I absolutely own everyone at it, is no reason to not put it as an option.

what now bitches.

I joined in anticipation of DoW, so I'm probably among the newer members here (outside the DoW forums anyway).

I found Homeworld on some list on Amazon, got it, liked it, and bought Cata. Cata hated my computer, so I logged on to the forums to find out how to make it work. Thanks to everyone in teh troubleshooting forums as it now works fine.

After playing homeworld 1, went to relic.com, saw a UBB forum. It eventually turned into the Relicnews that we all know today.
