Use the PM system you two.

The URL is http://209.15.35.40/Kaliedoscope/UBBcgi/Ultimate.cgi . Not exactly something that sticks in your head, is it?

hmmm... well it was in late Feb. 2000.. and I was looking for a good place to talk about PS2 ! So I post a topic like this: "The PS2 is the best console ever..."

Well, I got an award for this... actually two...
Most biased and open mouth, insert foot !

THANKS mm !!! (I love him now !)

This is the only place I trust... You are all Great !!!!!

PSX2 Central OWNZ !!! Thanks Björn...

I came here for the first time in Nov/1999 i think.
I was searching for news at GameFan( what a good site ), when i saw a banner of Psx2Central. At that time i was enjoying my DC and i thought about the PS2 like something far away in the horizon but, after i checked all the news, i clicked the banner.

For the first time, the main page of Psx2Central appeared in my monitor. I already knew most of the things about the PS2 and i had seen all the tech demos( i remember that i was very impressed with them), so i didn\'t find anything really new. I just liked the design and i thought it could be a good site to get news about the new system.
I also checked the forums, but i thought i could wait to register \'til the system was launched in my country.

After that?.
The months passed, i still was a "lurker" in the forums( i loved them though), there was a lot of movement,  some hilarious Fanboys came in to tell us the "truth"( most of them left the site or just were banned by SoulGrind ), appeared a lot of pics and info about new games, some members were converted to mods( i still remember the thread where a surprised ddaryl was congratulated for being the new mod), others left the boards, there was the transition between uBB and vB, the forums were down 2 times, you could see the word jaggies on every thread, and so on.

Then, the last November, i did one of my usual visits to the site.
That day was my birthday, so i was kinda happy. I entered the forums, and checked the threads as usual, but i saw something strange: one of the titles of the threads was written in Spanish(¿?¿?¿?).
I automatically clicked on it. There was a Spanish guy called Adan( ) that wanted to make some type of latin thread, where every Spanish could talk about videogames and the PS2 in their own language. He got a good number of replies, but only 1 was in Spanish, so i thought that his idea would just die. I read his post again and i noticed that he really wanted to make that latin thread. The PS2 wasn\'t still launched in my country, but i thought that it could be a good moment to join the boards and, well, i did it.
As you can see, the thread is still in the main page .

The first days after i registered, i posted a lot( nothing compared to Unknown, Syxxkorn or Darth Joyda, but a lot for me), and since then i posted normally.
Mainly,  I\'ve been on my own, as always.

Si.

Here\'s my forum history, for anyone who\'s interested.  Please note that I\'m not going to bother referring to specific dates, because I suck at remembering dates.  Anyway...

I began by searching the \'net for PS2 sites.  After I heard the system was going to be released, I immediately glued myself to my computer and looked for as much information about it as I could find.  The first site that I wandered upon that interested me went by the name of "PS2 NOW."  I discovered that this site had Comment pages under every news article, and after reading some of the posts, I decided to register.  I quickly went in and flamed all of those who opposed the PS2, and in short time I made a few friends there.  It wasn\'t too long before I joined the site\'s forums.  Sadly, I didn\'t stay there very long, because around every corner was some lamer who impersonated you and tried to make you look bad.  Oh, and the fanboys weren\'t worth my time, either.
The next forum I stumbled upon was AllPSX2.  I found it to be a great board.  So great, in fact, that I decided to join the staff as a p/review writer.  The site did well, but then things got a little dark, and it was closed down.  From there, the staff of AllPSX2 went to work at SonyDome, a site which died in a couple days of its birth.  During that time, I had joined the ConsoleDome forums, but I was only able to get a few posts to my name before I grew tired of it.  After all of that, PS2Lair was born.   The first version of the website wasn\'t too spectacular, as there were no forums, but the 2nd version was oustanding.  At the "unveiling" of PS2Lair v.2.00, I became an administator for the forums.  That lasted a few months, until Madhosts shut down without warning, and \'Lair was lost.  It\'s back up now, though, and the forums are being improved upon.
Of course, I can\'t forget PS2Web.  I had joined the site\'s forums shortly after joining AllPSX2\'s.  I entered the community without much notice, but I quickly rose through the ranks of popularity by remaining a constant poster with a good attitude.  When fanboys popped their little heads up, I was always there to smash them back down.  After a few months, I had totalled over 1500 posts, and things started to grow slow.  It wasn\'t too long after that when I decided I had enough of it, and I left.  I still post there every now and then, but only when something interesting happens.
Before leaving \'Web, I checked here at PSX2Central, a forum that was renowned across the \'net for being full of Sony fanboys.  I had tried to register several months earlier, but I couldn\'t because I had a hotmail e-mail account.  When I tried to register again, I was successful, and so began my journey into this world.

And that\'s the end of my story.

When I first got on the net, I mostly used mIRC and other chat clients but didn\'t really surf the message board scene on the net. After I got QFG5, I joined up to Sierra\'s website and hung out there for about a year. Then last spring, this persistant jackass flamer by the handle of John Fort Meyres (SomeFlyByNightCompany) started trouble with the moderator of the Half-Life forums. Eventually, this ONE little bastard complained enough to get Sierra to fire their HL moderator. Well most of the HL community left with him, as did several moderators from other boards including Perdita and Guque of the QFG board. I was one of the first QFG board members to leave in a mass exodus from the boards.  I guess that was just the final nail in the coffin for old Sierra.

After that I drifted around a bit on IRC and other QFG fansites, but the community - and the spirit- was gone. Eventually I found my way over to PSX2.net\'s forums and got in quite a few fights.. expecially with PlaySaturn2. After the fanboys got so out of hand that I couldn\'t take it anymore I put in a search for PS2 + Message Boards and had this site pop up. I registered and have been here ever since.

For a short while, I was over at NintenDose\'s site trying to calm the BS flamewars people like Nplayer would start and made quite a few friends. Even Playsaturn2 and I came to a bit of a truce there. The funny thing is.. I don\'t even really like Nintnedo.. but the people were just cool as hell. Too bad they shut down and I had to leave another community I enjoyed being a part of.  RIP NintenDose.

I used to be Red_XIII for a while.  I used to be a guest for a few months because I used hotmail as my email.

Damn is it wierd seeing all the old members in a thread.

Meh.. most of those guys still post here tho. You shouldda dug up some REALLY old post from like early 2000 and checked out all the old members who don\'t post anymore.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

Been around too long to remember in vivid detail. Lets just say i\'ve had my ups and downs. Mainly with mm.

I came to the boards 3 to 6 months after they first opened.. Ended up a mod, then admin, then mod, then admin, then normal member today. I\'ve made alot of kewl mods, Bob, Sammy etc. Created offtopic, pc forum etc. Can\'t remember if i made the hints forum. I think that was mm. But all the time through all the crap. It\'s a great board with top notch members.  I\'ve seen it through all the changes. UBB, VBB etc. Talk to quite a few people through msn, aim and icq etc.  Ah "wipes tear from eye"  all good.

I\'ve never felt more like a noob than now.

Does anyone really wanna know what I have done here???

I don\'t have the time to explain it again, I am taking a shower...

Got here because my PS2 broke and I needed help.. That\'s all I can remember. From then on, I just kept coming back.

welp, everyone should know my story

started these forums as well as N64CC forums

i can trace my history all the way back to bulletin boards in the late 80\'s

anyways, im like the necesarry evil around here
