So I was looking around and I decided to go to my user posts, and to my astonishment I had 108 pages of posts. I looked back at my very first posts and oh boy. Every sentence I used had ellipses and usually a spelling error. Thank god for Firefox spell checker eh? Anyway my very first post was, I couldn't find the name of a mod *Advanced Armor* and like...wow. So take a look and reminisce about your early days here at Runestorm with me

I got 881 pages of posts, holy grandpa...

When I joined, BW was at version 1.1 beta. The days before we saw weapons like the minigun, double barreled shotgun, etc.

Loooong time ago, in other words.

SX · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:16 pm

I got 112 pages of posts, i joined right before BW2 was out. Ah the good ol' days.

Sgt. Kelly · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:23 pm

My first post was a suggestion for portable turrets. I think it might have been the very first one!

You should check out the first pages of this forum. You can see that it was just a chat between 2 - 3 members, I remember me, James and joseph being the biggest posters at the time. (actually, the only posters, hehe)

Echo 419 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:42 pm

Yea I saw that. Whatever happened to Joseph? I didn't know him as a forum member but he's popped up a few times.

Bjossi · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:47 pm

Dunno, he just vanished one day as far as I can remember.

James · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 6:46 pm

Yeah, Joseph announced he was leaving and would check up with us every once in a while. Its been a while since hes posted here.

Heh, i also remember back before BW hit 1.5 Gold or something.

SHAD0Wdump · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 7:33 pm

I haven't joined too long ago and I already have 33 pages.
Oooooh I'm on fie-yah!

Bjossi · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 7:46 pm

Indeed, maybe one day you will reach 9315, when I will be at 20k.

Echo 419 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:35 pm

Runestorm was one of my most successful forum ventures. Probably because the forums aren't occupied by jerks who partake in picking apart the new guys. Which is good, thanks older forum figures

Bjossi · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:40 pm

Me and the other forum staff try our best to keep this a friendly place where everyone, including new members, can have a good time.

Echo 419 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:45 pm

And thats good because many other forums with potential suffer from jerkish members. Like Kamain's forum. That was my first forum and I loved the place but it kinda broke down into a civil war between admins and moderators and the members themselves. Lots of insults, lots of hacking..just not the place you'd wanna be. So I resigned my status there and came here shorty after getting Ut04 and my friend found hedsteem which led me here. Theres my story on how I got here !lol

Bjossi · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:49 pm

Civil wars between staff members ain't gonna happen here; the RS brothers, me, Xav and Sarge are good friends and (most of the time) on the same page when decisions need to be made.

Echo 419 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:51 pm

Indeed and I believe the power is in good hands, but yea that place turned into a war zone it was crazy. I went back sometime later to check things out and they seemed to improve but still I'm at home here and on the Kf forums.

cyberax · **Posted:** Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:55 pm

aaahhh...the old days ....
Yep, it's been a long and busy two years, although the time has flown by...

Bjossi · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 8:58 am

Didn't you go by secret usernames at first? I remember moderators called Runestorm and Administrator before the world got to know about the RS brothers.

cyberax · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 11:53 am

hehehe, yeah...until the devs figured no-one could tell who was posting, so they got indvidual names...

Echo 419 · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 3:01 pm

Yea I saw that looking on the first pages and wondered if like there was an all powerful admin that ruled all at first.

Bjossi · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 5:17 pm

Before I became a moderator, there was indeed a mightier power controlling this board.

Captain Xavious · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 5:31 pm

But later I came along and ended the iron rule of Bjossi's tyranny..

Bjossi · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 6:06 pm

Yeah, now there needs to be a mutual agreement before action is taken. It sucks.

Captain Xavious · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 6:11 pm

Fortunately, Sgt. Kelly is still an underling and his say doesn't mess up the agreements.

By the way, think we should indiscriminately lock a few threads for the heck of it?

Bjossi · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 6:17 pm

Sounds like fun. And after that we could ban cyberax and use the forum for flooding and spamming.

Captain Xavious · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 6:32 pm

Whoa. I think you're over stepping your bounds there. You KNOW we aren't supposed to be spamming.

cyberax · **Posted:** Wed Mar 26, 2008 11:39 pm

Hey, you two... stop hogging the forum

Oh, yes, there was an all powerfull admin before you guys... ME

Sgt Kelly, ignore them...they're just jealous

Captain Xavious · **Posted:** Thu Mar 27, 2008 4:40 am

Bjossi started it!
