I'm almost afraid to look for a post by myself there, as it's too close to my n00b period for comfort....

EDIT: It appears that was after my n00b period, thankfully. However, reading that thread has raised this question: WTF ever happened to wEvil?

There were others here. I have at least 3 posts in that thread, it being about 3 months or so of me joining. On a side note, I was hosted rather quickly after joining the community, wasn't I?

Wow, been a while since then...

Back then could you define your own title and post as a guest?

Like that guy "QXMX" appears as a guest to me. It could be just that his account was deleted. Also there are people with less than 20 posts who have titles.
Title: Ahh, I miss these kinds of days on HLP...
Post by: Grey Wolf on December 10, 2004, 06:28:19 pm
I know there was never custom titles, but they were given much more freely before.  Also, it's possible that people like QXMX either had their name changed or had their accounts lost between when the post was made and when the forum switched from UBB to VBB.

UBB you say? Now that I come to think of it I may have visited this place long before I joined (2001ish) because I remember the UBB interface. Wow.  I guess it isnt deja vu after all.

Boy oh boy how this particular area on the Freespace HLP actually never talks about Freespace...

But we got our own section for that.

Funny thread. pwnt. :lol:

Gotta bring some of that back some day. Rendering's gone a bit out of fashion since then, though, so I'm not sure if we could get together enough people for a good render war. ;)
Title: Ahh, I miss these kinds of days on HLP...
Post by: Taristin on December 10, 2004, 11:58:22 pm
Sadly, I think there'll be a lot more people attempting a render war... and it'll degenerate into the same kind of mush that that thread became... :p
Title: Ahh, I miss these kinds of days on HLP...
Post by: Turnsky on December 11, 2004, 12:19:12 am
for a render "war" try and introduce a sorta theme and storyline to it, you'd be suprised at how things would develop like that, keenspace does it all the time

Easy solution to that. Just lock the thread and only let admins post. :p

Good for you! Elder members. I felt Deja Vu a few months ago when I saw a Guest viewing one of the threads of 2002 which's name was familiar. I entered it and felt like being a newbie again. :)
