Man. I'd forgotten what the site even looked like. I see that I'm only credited as being a moderator and banner maker. I recall doing more graphics than just banners. Maybe I hadn't yet done anything else. (I notice Be0t, grawss, and HackerX weren't on the staff list yet.)

Heh, Frezal.  Here is your intro on that site:

"Hello!  I've been a member of the Robot   Arena forums since August 2002, the Aceuplink forums since September   2002, and the Electric PLayground forums since December 2002.  I am the   administrator of my site(http://www.phalangesrule.cjb.net ).   
My RA2 team is Team Predator.  On my website i have bot downloads.    Of course they aren't my best bots, but they are still good. 
I can't play RA2 online due to a 56k modem."

56k? ewwwww. :P Your old website is no longer as well. Looks like godaddy wants to sell it though!

2002, huh? Damn, I've been around this community for nearly 8 years? I was just a kid when I joined! Weird to think about.

Thinking back, my old site was probably junk. I'm glad I made it though. It gave me some experience which allowed me to take over this other forum (some Animal Crossing fan site), which allowed me to take over as head admin of The Electric Playground forums.

That 56k modem was the bane of my existence. I had to rely on this other guy to do my battles for me. I've always maintained that my bots are only ever effective when I'm the one controlling them (with my N64 controller).

I don't know if I it's understandable or douchey that I like to go on the archives and pretend that I'ma member on RA.com and that the forums are still up

no reall, it's so sad

[ianh05]

i think I've been playing the game for about 8 years too :) I'm glad no one has been able to find any of my "noob" bots, I think the first bot i showcased was a.. what i like to call "cage bot" which locks a robot in a part of the robot kind of like a jail :P

[Pwnator]

You mean this? :P
