your internet story

[robgmun]

I don't understand why you've edited your post to my un-edited post and why I'm reversing on something I haven't reversed upon.

I mean, I like it. I just don't understand what's wrong with you.

Are you that starved for attention? You should start to notice that all your threads get closed, there a reason you know. But you're too wrapped up in your own ego to notice

robg and Magnolly sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

Is that all you can post today?

Also how did this Magnolly vs. Rob battle begin? Is it some deep seated sexual tension?

Tell me the tale from the beginning

Time to shake hands and move on.

Nah he's had a go at me for my preference in women, claimed i was a misogynist and once even was trying hint on one thread that i wasn't against rape. That where i draw the line and i don't let snide personal attacks lie, even if he is the forums favourite old fruit. On top of that his threads get creepier as time goes on.

He's not going to change. People tell him he's weird or annoying and he just continues.

People tell me I'm weird and annoying [in a different way] and I just continue. You can't not be who you are. If you don't like it, you'll have to lump it.

I don't care if he's wired or annoying, just as long as he wired and annoying somewhere else

I can't remember the dates but I started with a US Robotics 28/33K Modem and used to play Doom in co-op mode in the evenings with a mate. The modem was shockingly expensive.

Then with a 56K modem I graduated to Quake/Quake II, used dial up on Wireplay and eventually moved up to ISDN, the days of mega phone bills eh.

ISDN rocked for it's time, point and shoot.

Cable came to our area so went with NTL and now Virgin.

I only really had the internet connection for gaming, nowadays less gaming and don't use the internet as much.

 

[BubbySoup]

I started off on Wireplay playing Warcraft II with my wife. I remember getting my first £300+ bill from BT too

Then NTL came along and cabled us. Imagine my delight when I discovered the number I was dialling for Wireplay turned out to be a 50p connect and forget number through NTL, wraa!

I can't really remember exact dates, but looking at WC2's wiki page, it came out in Dec 95, so I'm guessing some time after that I joined Wireplay. I'm guessing 1996 was my Internet year too.

 

[eatcustard]

I used prestel in the 80s, but the interweb, I used AOL first around 96-97, Virgin 2nd then finished up with Sky

Games wise online, I played unreal, world of warcraft and now World of tanks

Maybe Magnolly is possessed (by aliens of course.. as we all know demons are actually aliens and the western world is more susceptible to alien possessions or something)

I found that ladies could fit coke cans inside themselves. Which was nice.

:O

 

[movingtables]

round about 1996/7 seems a popular year more people started going on line.
i remember family members not understanding what the net was and just thinking it was plain odd.

incidentally those very same people are facebook addicts now

anyone else notice a change in "other" peoples attitudes towards the internet
over the years?

 

[wingman]

I must've been around 8 or 9 when I first got online (24 now). I had recently bought Final Fantasy VII for the PC and would use the thirty minutes per day that my father allowed me to be online to look up guides and help for completing it.

Shortly thereafter discovered what an amazing tool the internet could be. I remember not many kids at school having access to it which I found odd, I guess it hadn't taken off properly and I was fortunate to have a father who was interested in computers and the net.

Never really got into the chatroom business until I was about 13/14 and that bored me overall (but loved the general concept). Shortly after got into MSN which everyone at school was using which was a brilliant tool to flirt (and fail at) with girls in my class.

Not very exciting.

What about dem nons? They're a distinct branch of ethereal beings seen only by those with the 'gift' and thermal imaging cameras.

Wireplay, Blueyonder, Barry's World, going to CS/TFC LAN tournaments with mates at a little gaming cafe in Radstock called Wireworld, Legend of Mir, DAoC... Great times.

 

[Devrij]

Started on AOL, I believe. Kept ringing up to complain about speed and cancel toward the end of 30 day trial, so they kept extending it.

Eventually got a second phone line installed and moved to BT Anywhere (I think it was), which had fee-free usage with a 1-hour limit/cut-off. Got told off by them a few times by logging in using the account while round mates' houses etc. for parties so they wouldn't incur phone charges.

Gaming wise... Air Attack on Wireplay!

Chatting... the old days of IRC, ICQ etc. Spending forever waiting for an Mp3 to download from Napster or Livewire (was it called Livewire?), ripping and encoding CDs to Mp3 via command prompt utils that took forever. Ah, those were the days.

Oh Limewire, I thought it was so cool back then.

I started on AOL with the ASL chatroom funtimes. I did a lot of stimulants as a youth, so I often was awake late at night with no one to talk to, so the internet and the burgeoning beginning of social networking killed a lot of time. Game-wise, I was a late starter on PC with LOTR BFME and BF2142 being my first two favourite games that I spent at least a year or two playing.

 

[Curio]

Wireplay was awesome. That's where I started on-line gaming in early 1998 with Quake II. I remember the 64 player "Sunday Slaughter" on the big maps I remember the constant bickering between Wireplay people and "net" people, which all came to a head with the legendary [HooD] v [UNR] game. I remember when the 1v1 servers went on-line and there was a bug where you could select the BFG in the warmup even though it wasn't on the map, hide somewhere and kill yourself, then when the game started quickly run to where you died and the BFG was still there to use Another early bug was the ability to use scenery as a skin - so you would see large sections of wall running around the map! Great times <sigh>

Oh yeah, and i-series events. Went to i8, i10 and i11 I think. God knows what they're up to now if they're still going. Best bit was at i10, we were the underdogs in the TFC final against a top clan with the game being screened in the bar. I capped the flag within 30 secs and the whole place went mental. Lost eventually but won £50 which was a big deal when I was like 14 .
