NationStates Jolt Archive

i've just learned that this forum was once hosted by Max himself ( :eek: oooh), and wonder who's been on NS since those days?


definatley not me :)




edit: brilliant! i've just come up with a definition of 'n00b' :p

Me neither.

I think almost all 03 and 02 nations were on then and I sure as hell was. That damn forum lagged so fricken bad!

I was, I liked it better!


Even though it lagged like crazy....I don't know, could just be

A: I hate this all white forum look


B: I actually knew most of the people who were posting

hehehhe :)

Anyone who was founded before June or July 2004, I believe.

I was. Wasn't that long ago. Way to make me feel old :(

I was, IIRC I started in Jan 2004.

I liked the politically themed forum titles (as in the things under your name.)

i remember them from my nation before this...the old PHPBB boards

CSW I'm older than you....now where is my blasted cane..

any particularly cool ones you remember?



edit: should rename this thread to "the nostalgia thread" :D

I was here before Jolt.

Oh how I remember my old head butting with Foe Hammer and I clearly remember the orginal acigoo incident...damn I sucked at RPing back then

Postmaster-General



Although I might be biased towards that one

I was here when the moon was new, I'm older than dirt.

Damn whippersnappers.

Damn whippersnappers.


Hey you old fart! Remember that thread?

Oh how I remember my old head butting with Foe Hammer and I clearly remember the orginal acigoo incident...damn I sucked at RPing back then

Ironically, I'm getting worse at RPing, rather than better. :(

I was here on NS in the good old days. Not on the forums much though.

i was here long before Jolt.

Damn RB that sucks. My character RPing skills are great but I still can't controll a large army that well.

With this post I'm now at...


11,000!!!!

Booya! :D

so, controversial question: which is better, new days or old days?

:eek: :D

Damn you RB!!! Damn you and your high-ass post count!

ROCK ON!!! go RB, you ancient mofo!

Damn you RB!!! Damn you and your high-ass post count!

Heh, heh, heh! :D

My goal is to have the most posts ever.

Anyone know what the highest record is?

I've been here on-and-off since the month NS became publicly accessible...Except for the week the site was taken down (unless checking in in case it came back early counts).

ROCK ON!!! go RB, you ancient mofo!

Thanks a lot! ;)

*Throws Bottle a dozen ubercookies*

No clue. But remember back on the old forums it was like 18k or something

Heh, heh, heh! :D

NEE had like 200,000 or so..

youre the oldest member ive seen here...

NEE had like 200,000 or so..

The key word here is: had.

Sorry, NEE (whoever you are), your victory won't last long... ;)

NEE had like 200,000 or so..



Was it 200, 000 or 20, 000?

Was it 200, 000 or 20, 000?

Something tells me 20,000...

Was it 200, 000 or 20, 000?

It was more like 15,000.

The key word here is: had.

Sorry, NEE (whoever you are), your victory won't last long... ;)

In the past month or so 6 or 7 people have passed 10,000.

It was more like 15,000.


Yeah.


On that subject, I was once in like...the top 100 postcounts....weird.

I made the top ten!

Yeah.

I can remember when I hit #500 for highest postcount. I was so excited.

OHhhhhhhhhh So I do know who he was, I was wondering.

You get a cookie you old fart

just done a very nerdy calculation. i reckon it'll take me till June next year to get 10,000 posts :eek:

You get a cookie you old fart

What kind of cookie?

And I'm 22. You're 47. Who's the old fart? :D

Don't worry; I do that too. I figured out roughly when I would pass each 1,000 mark all the way to 20,000. :)

what kind of cookie do you want?

I was here when the moon was new, I'm older than dirt.

And how old is dirt because - I could be around that same age.

I feel a strange compulsion to make a "You know you've been on NS too much when..." thread

Please don't. They're always filled with lame-ass noobs who think they've been on NS too much when they've only been here 2 or 3 months. They make me want to stab things.

Hey NuMetal, why doesn't the second link in your sig work?

Hey NuMetal, why doesn't the second link in your sig work?
because you don't have permission to access the requested object

I've been on since May 2003; I asked the question in MaxChat 1 whose answer was "Yup - Jolt". And I kind of liked the pre-Jolt days better. At least we could access NationStates when the server crashed - those were kind of fun.

And I was in the top #100 for post-counts too. Heck, I was the last person to ever post on the old forums.

Oh and the link doesn't work because for some reason my account died there...I should move it actually

I put together the top #100 list a few weeks ago. You were #95, I think.

Ooo, I'm still on it? *grins*

I was in the high 70s before the move, IIRC.

Yeah. It might've changed by now, since there's no NS-only list of posters. I had to go through the entire Jolt list and pick out NSers.

Perhaps if I asked the requested object nicely?
:D

I moved the link....should work now I think.



2003 people rule :o

Lame-ass n00bs?
My, what a delightful description!! :D

I moved the link....should work now I think.
Hmm...
It redirects to www.100webspace.com

And how old is dirt because - I could be around that same age.


What was your older nation?

Hmm...

/me likes the picture

hello then

when the moon was new and older than dirt. Back when there was no dirt, since it predated dirt.. things were clean, before kids, kids are messy..

I don't know if i saw the original version of the forum. There was a different one when I got here though. It was easier to get back to the main nation screen. I still don't know how to do that here.

Yes. I.ve been here since June '03. Gods, that means almost two years! Oh well, its been good, and I did meet my future wife here. :)

Up here in yankee land. :) I have survived my first winter, so I think I'll stay. We had to move the date up due to personal scheduling considerations.

Kinda disappointing actually, I expected top twenty.

No, shes from PA.

Well, that was the last time I did it, a few weeks ago. You weren't at 7,000 then. You've probably moved on up. Sometime in the near future I'll probably get bored enough to do another list, and maybe this time I'll actually post in instead of just keeping it to myself.

Tell me how and I'll do it if you want.

Well I sorted the Jolt members list by post count and went through picking out NSers. It was quite the adventure.

Sounds like fun, how would I find the Jolt members list?

Hey Sanct, if you start it, when you get bored or have to leave I can pick up where you left off, if you like.

I used to play two hours cricket once a week, I don't get bored easily:p

But thanks for the offer, and if I do I'll let you know.

Sounds like fun, how would I find the Jolt members list?

Up at the top, underneath the NationStates bar, is a tab that says "members." Click on it. It'll take you to a list of forum users. Click on "Posts" to organize it by post count. Then start going through picking out NSers. They start on page 3 with Spoffin. If you're not sure if a user is from NS, search for their nation on NS itself. The way you can usually pick out NSers is simple: we don't have custom forum titles or avatars. So we're usually pretty easy to spot, but some Jolt users don't have them either, so you really need to run unfamiliar names through. It's quite the complicated procedure.

Right, I shall start now. Wish me luck guys:p

Good luck Sanct! :D

Good luck, you'll need it. And make sure to bug the hell out of Aerou with any questions you may have. :D

I remember the old forum and well... it sucked, in a technical sense that is.

Indeed, it did freeze up more than even these ones do. But they had a lot more charm. This forum is all sterile and unfriendly.

Good luck with the tedium and the checking of nations!

any particularly cool ones you remember?



I always wanted to be "Powerbroker" even though it wasn't the highest for some reason.

Good luck, you'll need it. And make sure to bug the hell out of Aerou with any questions you may have. :D
Heh, I didn't even read this, and I still bugged the hell out of her with questions for you.

Yep, I was here quite a while before jolt :D

I'm old enough to remember a time when on the old forums, having 1,000 posts made you ancient.

I remember those days, back when nearly every post was repeated, 2, 3, 4, even 5 times, damn server

yeah lol, i gave up editing my posts in the end cause it took too long

In my first two incarnations i was here before jolt but it didn't post much so i wasn't a well known member...

I'm not old! No, seriously! I'm new...arn't I?

I'm not old! No, seriously! I'm new...arn't I?
you're just a wee baby (even though you're only like less than 2 months younger than me)

I was here before Jolt. Though I was only a lurker.

*shoot out spines at space marines and firebats*

I remember those days, back when nearly every post was repeated, 2, 3, 4, even 5 times, damn serverWhile there were double posts, most posts only went through once...My double posts could probably be counted on one hand. :\

I remember when International Incidents was created...The "I'm a GREAT RPer...Get those n00bs away from me!" people ran there because of the promises of enforced RP etiquette...Interesting that they're back in NS.

I'm one of the older nations. July 12, 2003, at about 5:00 EST.

I was. Under a different name though.

I was, although under a different nation called Maserrat. I got here a few months before the change. The difference is remarkable.

i've just learned that this forum was once hosted by Max himself ( :eek: oooh), and wonder who's been on NS since those days?


definatley not me :)




edit: brilliant! i've just come up with a definition of 'n00b' :p
I faintly remember a different forum along time ago when I had a different nation, but I stopped using it and wasn't into the forum stuff
