Andrew Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Out of curiosity, I looked for my old ezBoard account and was surprised with the join date: http://p100.ezboard.com/usonichao.showPublicProfile?language=EN :| The description of myself is lol-worthy too. So uh, lets make this a thread about how long we've been at/around SFGHQ for! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I joined November 02 I think and lurked for a little bit beforehand so around seven years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoshi Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 First joined SFGHQ around late 2002. (First visited the site around 1999 or 2000.) I wasn't the brightest person here, so I didn't last long. Returned around late 2003 but lost interest in Sonic (in general) around mid-2004 and left. (I completely abandoned ETCF without knowing it. God I'm terrible ) Anddd, I finally returned during last year's SAGE. (I also had a different name back then, I wonder if anyone but the ETCF team know who I was.)

Cyber Rat Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I think I joined a month or two before Nitemare. So let's just consider it September 02. After the forum attack (no idea when it was), I was on the temporary ezboard one for some time and then just stopped coming. Then I remembered this place, came on some non-ezboard forum before this one, didn't stay for more than 3 days, no idea why, I think there were some members that were bugging me a lot and I just didn't want to argue, and then I came here after finishing high school last year. I have no idea why I came back, considering I don't do anything other than raise my own post count and have over 100 notifications in my PM box because of deleted posts...

Aaron C-T Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 If I'm not mistaken, I joined either just after or just before the release of Sonic Adventure 2 or something. So I've been here for a solid eight years. And in all that time I haven't released a damned thing. Closest I came was trying to finish up the engine for Sonic Liola, but then I came across some issues with the engine and level design and quickly gave up on the fan gaming scene.

Streak Thunderstorm Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 When Neo Sonic was released by Manic Lightspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael B. Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 About a week. Mostly because I haven't had a serious fan gaming project until now. I knew this place had a forum, but until recently I payed vary little mind to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbyhi5 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Was lurking the main site around 2003. (or whenever Sonic: Time Attacked was released and pre-website design) Didn't join the forums until recently though since I wasn't really into forums at that time.

Alexmonk Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Just over 42 hours ago. I've been around in the Sonic Community at large since 2003, as such there are some familiar faces here, I've also been known to lurk here occasionally, generally to follow the progress of certain Fangames.

flame6753 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I don't remember what year it was, but I've been around since Rlan signed up for Emulationzone hosting Or at least, when the site first went online. I remember SFGHQ being a new section on Emulationzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbfalcon Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I have an account from 05 there... but I was here for longer... I think I signed up there after the hacking... But I was on before as Shadow Sonic Beta... So that was at least 2001-2002ish... Seeing that I have a game demo of like, my 3rd fangame attempt still listed on this site for January of 2003, but was lurking for a year or two, and actively posting on the forums before then... A lot more I guess... Ugh... I did have a lot of nothing to say when I was younger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Trying not to remember since I used to be so goddamn stupid. Hey, you were smart when I joined.

OverbounD Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I've been lurking since at least Sage 2 probably before. I at least remember when the site had this image in the middle of it: and all the different links to different sections of the website around it. It was a pretty sweet layout actually.

Spike Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Like... 5 years. I wasn't really active until 3 or so years ago. I had an account on Proboards, and once this forum came around I lurked forever before actually making an account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ristar Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Been around here since 2002 I think, though I don't remember much from that era. I remember there being a Metal Gear Solid Sonic game that boasted totally fake graphics, the Wetflame era, the Pachuka incident... and various games I started with people and never finished (*cough*unframed legacy*cough*).

MrKsoft Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Golly, time flies. First started checking out the main site in late 2000 or early 2001. Joined the forums in early 2002, roughly, and tended to be a really useless member. I remember that I tried really hard to be cool but failed. And I asked for engines too much. I can now understand why people seemed annoyed by me... probably didn't help that when I first joined I was the ripe old age of... 9. Yikes. (Admittedly, I guess I did pretty good for being 9, though that's not saying much) ..and now I still sorta lurk here. I sure don't post often, and I don't really do fangames (but I'm using what I learned trying to make fangames to create some original content), and I barely even watch what's currently being made.
