Hi,

Been visiting the site since 1999 or so while at uni doing comp science. Have been working in It for 12 years using asp.net / c# Now work for a mining/energy retailer

Don't often post. I don't bother reading comments to much as its mostly biast fanboy stuff but eh that's what u get on most forums ;-)

I'm from Australia and 30 migrated from Europe when i was 4 or so.....

That's about it. Stopped playing games since UT CTF. Niven 8 vs 8 still stands in my mind as the best game / map where a 20min round went for 1 hour over time with only 1 sudden death capture. Ahh they were the days. Games these day arnt nearly as fun and take a long time to even learn. Tried flying a Titan in battle field 2142? I sucked and gave up. Oh well maybey some other day. My Handel is from that game T1OOO.

littleneutrino, you are prob right, i was still in high school in 1999 and 2000 was my first uni year, and i have a vivid memory of year one or 2 being on the site, i remember the logo, it was the one that ripped though the back ground and it had a blue and white color scheme...

edit, yes, it def was 2001, as i had that tutor only 1 year and i remember i had him during the 9/11 attack and taking about it.. so yeah 2001,, so right from the start..

iv been a member of an aussie forum whirlpool.net.au since at least 1999 and first got adsl around 2000/2001

cheers

    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
