Woah, the site looked plain back then.

First topic in the Lounge and creation too!

 

[Ennui]

lol, The Lounge was called "General Off-Topic Chat" until pretty recently, before that it was the name of the whole off-topic category.

[Nomad]

Oh ok thanks. I've been reading the forum for a while, but not since then!

 

[Combine_Advisor]

[Krynn72]

Its good to see that Sulkdodds' personality has remained consistent over these long years.

 

[Raziaar]

Better late than never!!

At first glance I thought that said "Better nate than lever!!"

 

[Darkside55]

I see a lot of names I remember who are no longer around. I no longer wish to look at this thread.

The forum styles have changed over the years, archived threads are separate altogether.

That thread is halflife2.net's first ever thread, here is it's real form - http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1

I miss the general population of the forum in 2004. That was the year, man.

 

[kineaesth]

I miss .net when it wasn't full of shitty posters.

 

[xombine]

I know, right?

Because 5+ years later they should still have the same posting frequency.

 

[Jintor]

Damn straight.

 

[kineaesth]

The seventh ever thread. Why can't we access it? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Crazy Harij posts all the time in the 'post your latest music' thread. I think he's got a record deal now.

Badger posts occasionally. I remember when he was a mod.

Thread about Half-life 3 that got deleted. Well actually it was a boring question thread, which got bumped 5 times, derailed and locked by Chris_D and put in the private admin archive in the staff forum. 7th threads always suck.
