yea i joined Feb 14th of i think '03 or whatever was right after it started.

the funny thing was that although me and Paratoga were total opposites on most views, we had the same "NS Birth Date"...

lol.

anyway, the forums do move faster here, but they just seem so "impersonal" to me now. if that makes sence...pluse for about 6 months my computer had a bug that i couldn't get rid off and blocked my email, this site and other forums...

damn porn sites and their worms/bugs ;)

Cannot think of a name

I'm old. Not as old as you, but old. Unfortunately I have virtually no stamp here except my goofy name, so that's probably all you remember about me if you remember anything at all.

Ha! I joined in the first week of January 2003.

The only major players I remember that are older than me are:

Menelmacar
Iesus Christi
Demoness (don't know if she still plays, though)
Freebodnik IV

She still pops in now and then, not as often as she used to.

I don't know what you call "old" but if memory serves me right, I'm either 2 yrs. or 3 yrs. old (my nation). Oh, and I was wondering, does anyone remember the Shentavo nations? I remember one big scandalous post about Danya, and then "supposedly" her brother came in....I still don't know how it ended.

HE DOESN'T REMEMBER ME!

*runs away from thread crying*

Seriously though. Some names I've seen pop in and out. Some haven't declared themselves dead, but just never showed up for work. ;)

Oh, me! Me!

I used to be really exciting and pro-China, but now after high school, my posts are just long, boring, pointless drawls...must be the heat.

Its kind of freaky that you can remember when I joined; you must have been RPing at the time since I didnt touch anything besides NS and Tech until about 6 weeks ago.

But, as a point of fact, I've been here since Jan of '03 as well, my first nation was 'Ardgalen' and it was made in early/mid January but I've never done anything with it but answer issues. I made this one in early Feb [the 5th] of 2003.

It's odd now this occurs to me that I've been a Moderator for the vast majority of my NS career. I was only a regular player for like 2 months. I couldn't imagine life without the 'IP' and 'Edit/Delete Post' buttons anymore. Every time I go to another forum, not having them there throws me off for a minute or two.

So I guess it is true. Power corrupts. :D

hmm, i must have first joined NS early '03 under a different name, but spent a very limited time on the forums. That nation disappeared after I left it for the entire summer and half the fall without checking it. I can no longer remember what it was called, and I have since re-joined under this name, and I am now horribly addicted to NS General

Yes, of course I was RPing at the time - I made my first posts in General only in July or August 2003.

Do you remember The One Ring? One of your first allies, who (I believe) carried out the first Elvish Genocide in NS, in a thread entitled "The Final Solution to the Elvish Problem". Eventually the whole thing led to a war in which you played a major role.

Well, The One Ring was an evil puppet of mine. :)

I guess he must be around again. To know wich identity we must find the articles in combination with 30 post a day :) His opposite is Corny aka Corneliu, the same but worse.

Not quite as old as Constantinopolis, although usually I'm just as forgotten. Maybe I need to post more often. . .

I remember you specifically for something, but I cannot put my finger on what.

good to see some of you again: Spook, melkor, steph, and other who posted, thanks...makes me feel like a little less nerdy knowing i've kept my nation alive all this time(although it did go into death once to be resurected the next day :) ).

oh yea, and WHO could forget "red arrow"...lol. and pablo the squirell

other ones i just remembered: Big Jim, Beeker, and Gidestimes, etc....oh yes those were the days :)

Czardas here, newbie by my join date (Feb '05) but I was here 'way back in 2003. Even earlier. I think I'm a December '02 nation. The problem is, I only posted about 10 times on the forums, and only answered issues and voted on resolutions... I had practically no time, and my nation died. I don't remember too many people from that time. Sorry. :(

But pleased to meet you anyway. :)
