Progress of the Board from its Beginning :D
« on: April 10, 2011, 01:14:58 PM »
I have noticed a change in the forums. But let me explain :bigsmile:

I have been away from RA2 for more than a year, and I have seen the progression of the game and the forums since they both came out. I wanted to mention a big thanks to the community for making this so big. :beer:

I just made an account like 5 minutes ago, but I can assure you I have known the forums and the game since they were both created. I have just never had the time for making one :mrgreen:

Now go steal some candy :gunz:

Anyway, my origins?

Well, I had both Robot Arena games, and joined the forums in about 2007. I thought I needed it to download stuff, but it turns out I didn't, so I left for two years, focussing primarily on my Youtube Account until then. When Youtube began going to pot, I came here, and gradually worked myself up to a reasonable degree of popularity.

And then this lot beGAN TEARING DOWN MY THREE YEARS OF HAR-
Ahem, I then hit a slight snag, but I've been recovering.

Got Robot Arena 2 in around August of 2009 from some random file sharing site, joined the boards a week after. Forgot about this place for a while (kept playing RA2, though), came back around a year ago, and ended up sticking around. =] Met some great people here, got to throw my opinions out about stuff, and I've had a really good time so far.

Nope. I got it for $29.99 the week it was released, played it ever since. Joined the forum a year or two later.

HMMMM.... THIS SOUNDS STRANGELY FAMILIAR...

Though, back when the game was out, I had got my copy from a catalog of learning games.
Played it for about a year, then found the 1st RA2 forum in 2006. Hung around there until like early 2008, then "disappeared".
.....
Late 2010, I came back. And apparently I "got better" at RA2.
