Yeah, the RA1 forums (beore WizForum and after the crappy self-made bulletin board stuff) is when I first got into the forum. I think it was right after the release of RA1 (or not thaaat much after).

I actually left because, I dunno, the forums were awesome IMO (I even applied to be a mod when I was 16) but for some reason RA2 just didn't click with me. Nothing against the game, it just didn't have the legacy that RA1 had for me. Does anyone remember skinning whole new arenas? Just change some texture files around and you got yourself a new map! Haha.  I installed RA1 again a little while back, and it was quite nostalgia.

Anyway, I digress.

I am glad this thread existed, I wouldn't have found that GTM and the RA forums merged.

Ah, I guess I was confused when I thought certain 3D modeling utilities to create custom arenas...

You should give RA2 another try. The community and building styles have changed so much, you could be surprised.

- Raw HTML was allowed in the forum signatures

I remember an IRC channel that was logged in raw HTML. Until after we found out and after clicking through 20 javascript alerts, somebody decided to type </td>. sh** was cash.
Calm down folks. I'm never REALLY gone.

And really humorous ones at that.
I cant help but laugh at how ridiculous a lot of those are. What makes it better, is they actually work.
......
And to be honest, those sideways bots look like fun to build :3

Looking through the atari bot exchange, found one of Clicks old art bots:
Better than GK since 2009.
