Support NeoGAF

[Rorschach]

Around 3 years with a different name each forum.

 

[LakeEarth]

Julian Eggebacht interview, the single most replied non-stickied thread in the history of GA (or close to it). Lake you posts at opn2000 too didn't you?

Sorry for the delay in response, I didn't notice your post. No I never posted at OPN2000. I applied, but I never got an account. However, I was on Planetn2000's a lot, and one of their chatsites, I forget which.

I miss those days of the internet. I go to the chat, no one is in it. Someone pops up, we start talking... an hour later, 2 more pop up. Before you know it I'm working with them to make a videogame humor website where we make fun of the industry with juvinelle humor. Taking IGN articles word for word, but mixing things around to sound dirty. It kinda fell apart over time, though one of the members posts here, Ironickaos (sorry if I spelt that wrong).

Well, that's my story.

 

[maharg]

too.
long.

 

[DarthWoo]

I don't really remember. It was probably late 99 or early 00. I was mostly a lurker before the OT forum came along though.

 

[Ramirez]

I'd say about 3-4 years,I used to post under Knuckles back in the day.

 

[Deku Tree]

Since just before the switch. Not that long.

 

[Cubsfan23]

Started reading it in Summer of 1999. I had 2 or 3 other usernames back then, only one I remember is Project KiddyCube

 

[Gorey]

Been reading for about two years, only started posting in the last year (once before neo-gaf, then again recently)..

 

[Lonestar]

I started lurking at the US DC launch, and created Lonestar on PS2 Launch Day in Japan (March 25? 2000) Been pretty much "Lonestar" since (though, I think on one of the ezboards I used Lonestar1421 or something..)

 

[White Man]

I started lurking in 1998, and may have done light posting then. I really started frequenting the place as DC hype built up.

 

[ShadowRed]

I believe I found this place in November or December of 99 looking for game information. This next to GameFaqs this is the oldest site I've been visiting. Outside of Opa age this is the only message board I post on a regular basis.

 

[Grimlock]

During (what passed for) the Saturn's heyday, I was a regular on the Dimmension-S forums (R.I.P.). When that forum had crashed for a couple of days, I recall one of the other regulars (I forget who, but if you're reading this, thank you for doing this) e-mailed me a link to the old GA forums, where some of the other regulars had gone to wait out the episode. Been here pretty much since, so that would be at least since late '98-early '99.

 

[Lathentar]

3 years ago, I think.

 

[Juno]

Just after the DC launch in Japan. So 98'/99', sometime around then.

 

[Dilbert]

I'm guessing....2000?

 

[Bog]

The forum - probably 2 or 3 years. I wrote for Gaming Age starting in early '98, though.

 

[Meier]

I'm a relative newbie -- December 2002.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Since the very beginning! I fought the dinosaurs!

 

[distantmantra]

I started coming here in 2001 under the name spgishsp but changed to Distantmantra when the board changed servers.

 

[XMonkey]

I dunno...2000 or 2001, but probably closer to 2001.

 

[retardboy]

1998... Originally posted on Blastcity, Dreamcast.net, and DCTP. Was lead here by them.

 

[zaph0d]

Hmm damn I´ve been a member for probably like six months now,
reading posts on a daily basis, but this is actually my first post

 

[Pochacco]

Started posting in Sept 1999.
Those were the good days - back when opa-opa and Marty Chinn were at each other's throats and me and Newzboys were the only Nintendo fans.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Yeah it was easy to keep you and newz under control.

 

[SSGMUN10000]

Wow now that I think about its been around 6 yrs.

Hey, I used to be on planetn2000 too! Old-school N-fanboys unite! I heard about GA when Matt C. came over and started talking about the IGN Underground board. :lol: So I came here...that must've been in, oh, 2000? I was 14 at the time. Jesus, I can't believe I've been here for so long. I've had different screen names for more or less every iteration of GAF, but kablooey I've had for about the last 2 years. Good times though.

 

[Ryo]

Late 1999 IIRC

was known then under the name of e_voc

 

[Raw64life]

A little under 3 years. Mostly lurking though. Never really post that often.

Ah planetn2000.com, loved that site. Whatever happened to soundwave and CapsLock? I always liked the way they defended some of the irrational hate Nintendo would get as I used to be an exclusive Nintendo system purchaser (I still am a fan at heart).

*cough*

 

[nomoment]

Since late 2000/early 2001 - around the time of the first ezboard switch?

Few remember the time when we, the new era, ushered in OT.

soundwave is still here. And he's in a bit of a rut, opinion-wise.

 

[blackwind]

Winter 2003, just in time to see the old forum go down and this one come up.

 

[FortNinety]

I've been on Neo-GAF since day one (okay 2), but before that, just a year and a month. I had heard about the GAF way before, when I was working at Ubi Soft and the guys in the office who wrote for Gameloft (when it was still a Daily Radar news-type site) used to be on it all the time, saying how great it was. This was back in 2000-20001. Don't know why it took so long to join.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

since late 2000 or early 2001

 

[CrunchyB]

Fall '99, but the last few years I've mostly been lurking. Every minute spent on GA is a minute wasted, but at least it's good fun, most of the time. I've been a junior member since ages

It's really weird how the attitude of the board changes from time to time. It used to be Nintendo-age, Sony-age, Nintendo-age, DC-age (!) but it's been Sony age for a while now.
Still can't believe how "popular" the XBox is today though :lol

 

[Memles]

Not sure, really...been lurking for awhile, probably started posting around mid-2003, posting much more in neo-GAF.

 

[NetMapel]

Hmm... I think I came here after NintendoNext died, that's at least 4 years ago

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

i remenber. i WAS a founding menber you know.....

 

[DopeyFish]

Since late 2001.

 

[SSGMUN10000]

Here is a little tidbit, out of the 6 yrs ive been here ive been banned only one time. I think I was banned by Mike Works for making fun of Nintendo.
