Title: How long have you been involved?
Post by: Alikchi on May 16, 2005, 04:52:13 pm: I know many people here have been playing FS2, making campaigns, posting at HLP and generally making a ruckus for 5 or more years now.

How about you?

Post by: phreak on May 16, 2005, 04:57:04 pm: where the hell have you been?

I've played FS1 back online since 1998. That'll make it 7 years.

Post by: Alikchi on May 16, 2005, 05:00:35 pm: I've been all over the place.. I'm not necessarily back, either. But hi!

And I started playing in 1999, but I haven't for about a year. So 7.
Title: How long have you been involved?
Post by: Ghostavo on May 16, 2005, 05:02:27 pm: Playing FS - since the game's release
Making campaigns - never finished the pityful attempts I try
Posting at HLP - see registration date below

EDIT: Seeing the post asks only how long you are involved with FS2, I'd have to say... almost 6 years
Title: How long have you been involved?
Post by: Andreas on May 16, 2005, 05:07:25 pm: I've been playing FS1 ever since it came out 7 years ago, back in 1998. And I've been playing FS2 ever since it came out 6 years ago, back in 1999. As for the forums, well, I lurked around the VBB and HLP for a couple of months, but was driven to here permanently when VBB went down. Too bad. :D

Post by: Stunaep on May 16, 2005, 05:08:47 pm: Apparently, I've been around HLP since 2001. I know that I lurked at least a year before that in VBB and various other places, and I played FS1 roughly 1/2 years before I got FS2, so that would make it....

5,5 years. Wowee

Post by: achtung on May 16, 2005, 06:08:37 pm: I got my first pc in '98 and it came with a copy of FS1 but it took me a good year to start to really get into gaming so 6 years playing, but I just found the HLP last year.

Title: How long have you been involved?
Post by: Nuclear1 on May 16, 2005, 06:43:11 pm: Got FS1 about five months after it came out. FS2 about the same.

I've been making campaigns only within the past two/three years, but multiplayer (especially FS1) for a while (four/five).

Post by: TopAce on May 17, 2005, 06:23:57 am: I have probably been in FreeSpace for 6 years.
I registered at HLP in November, 2002, but I had a problem with my account and asked an admin to delete it, so I could re-register. This is the reason you read 'Registered: February 2003
I started FREDing after finishing the main FS campaign, but the first publicly released campaign came on the 6th July, 2003(Pimp (http://mods.moddb.com/2704) :thepimp:)

Post by: Gai Daigoji on May 17, 2005, 04:00:27 pm: 7 Years, couldn't stop playing FS1. Then I got FS2 when it came out in shops so was hooked and I still am :)
Title: How long have you been involved?
Post by: KappaWing on May 17, 2005, 07:47:44 pm: How I came into freespace hmmm... It came with a joystick I bought. I used my überintellegent reasoning skillz to figure that if there is a FS2, then there must be an FS1, (I know, I'm just so smart it scares me.) I then found out a few months later that Silent Threat existed. Bought FS1 and FS2 on E-Bay for about $70 each but I only paid $5 for ST.

I soon used fred 2 to complete a campaign complete with 30 of the n00biest missions you can dream of. By the time I finished it, I didn't know that the WV archives were totally defunct and I tried for days and days to post it there. :sigh: When I finally found out that the boards had closed down and WV was totally dead, I was devestated. After a few hours of site hopping, I came across Sectorgame. I lurked in their forums for a bit and learned that there was a much larger "central" forum for Freespacers which happened to be HLP. I lurked for about a year or so. My n00by missions were lost due to a HD crash. I cried for hours, but looking back I'm glad it happened. Now I'm working on a brand new project [p1mp] it's called Relentless. No n00by missions in there! Linky to the page is in my siggie [/p1mp] After a seemingly loooong time, I finally registered. I'm glad I lurked for a while because I got to learn about the forum culture and the frequent visitors. So yeah, thats where I'm at today. :)

I am still constantly amazed at the fact that new people keep finding HLP. It's great having you folk around. :yes:

Post by: Grey Wolf on May 18, 2005, 04:55:22 pm: About 5.5 years here. I got FS1 (Full DVD version) as part of a bundle package (along with Baldur's Gate on DVD) with a Gateway computer we got. Probably got FS2 about a year or so later. Started posting here and at the VBB just over five years ago.

Post by: Flaser on May 18, 2005, 05:14:15 pm: I bought the original game in '98 though I've been following its development since '96 and played my brains out on the demo in '97.

BTW Does the name Mahabarata ring any bells? :thepimp:
