Hello there to anyone who remembers me, and hello there to anyone who doesn't. Just came across an old picture, and decided to put it up just as some Metanet history. If anyone has some epic stories from the past, no matter how old, go ahead and pop 'em here. Make this a "war story" thread. :P And I may or may not rear my head in these halls once again.

Holy shit. Does your sig really say "c o m e j o i n t h e y o u t h a n d b e a u t y b r i g a d e"? Who do you think you are, some kind of war vet?

Just kidding of course. That was back in the day when F&G posts counted overall I'm sure.

I was... for like 3 days. I had logged in to IRC a few times, and was confused on the 4th for a moment because I got there and everyone was gone.

I've been gone so long, I don't know who is who anymore. I have pieces of myself embedded in the community, but as far as today goes, I'm just a guy with some posts and some maps. Unfortunate, it is.

I still remember having a hilarious discussion in IRC with everybody when the Legacy maps came out. One of the levels has an inside joke about me, and I nearly missed it while trying to blaze through the levels for the competition. Good times, good times.

I did indeed share. It was PoxNora.

A pimp? I think you're exaggerating a bit, but thank you.

Ha, I used to play that game. Always wondered if it was the same person there and here, but never got around to pm'ing you and asking.
