What Generation are You?

[Gobalopper]

When did you start visiting the site? The dates aren't exact but more an estimate. btw, you are required to post if you vote. ;)

[Mahdi]

After all that work we did trying to define what we generally refer to as the four generations, you decide to just go by year. Yargggg.

[Gobalopper]

The dates are just to help, some people remember year better then the event.

[Mahdi]

Ah well, I found a use for it.

[Nyarlathotep]

I think it was just after EBFD was released..

Although I became a regular poster after they closed the Westwood EBFD boards..

today

[playerap]

hmm ya i joined before the boards ever closed at leats 4 months or longer before its been a long long long time !

[Babylon]

I started to come here after Emperor (thats how I found the board). But this has nothing to do with a late interest in Dune (thats long before this site :)). It has more to do whit a late internet connection :)

Emperor came out in 2001 so the Poll question isn't a very good one, since it lists "pre-Emperor" only as 2001

furthermore, Gob, you should have included an option for the many of us who were your buddy from the old WW board and joined fed2k because it shut down. we should be given more respect than that Poll gives us in it's current form.

as well, i don't see what the purpose of this Poll is. don't you already have access to all that information at your fingertips? if so, why ask in a Poll?

So Put a date in the poll and post the exact time and date you joined this board in a post (I believe it was asked to post if you voted). What's the big deal ?

It's just a poll which asks when we joined. There's no need for another option "I joined, cause the boards closed and I'm Gob's buddy" ::)

Who cares, he feels like asking.

[lowzeewee]

I joined on 22 november.Post-Empy.

Nav,please don't be too serious.This is just a friendly poll. :D

When I've looked into Temp in my notebook, I've found a web page of D2k, with that old blue-red design. But that thing can't access net very easily, so I am not sure if it was me, who got there. I have modem since september 2001, maybe somewhere in that time I've found D2k and finally in march '02 joined. I would say I am pre-Empy generation, altough my main course was Dune Editing in that time.

June 07, 2002, 20:02:36 was when I registered although I started visiting about a week before.

[exatreide]

post dune2k....im one of the older wiser members here....and that scares me.

[IxianMace]

I found my way to this hidden treasure online when I was visiting the Westwood site for Emperor. I used to check the Emperor boards on the official Westwood site, but then when they were shut down and the notice and link were put up mentioning this site, I came here. I almost instantly liked what I saw after a quick browse through, and it all started from there. Ever since then, I've always checked here regularly.

Having said that, I guess that means I fall into the Post Emperor category.

I started visiting in 2000 for info on Dune 2 and Dune 2000 but I didn't join the forums until late 2001

[ken124578]

I'm from the old official emperor boards; so i come from the post-emperor generation. :P

[Dunenewt]

How come playerap and Ken both have lower numbers than me even though I joined first?

[ken124578]

There was a small problem with the member number system i think.

[Anathema]

Well I joined when the old WW boards closed down so I'd be post Emperor.

@ Caid: you registered at march 16, 2002. Check your profile :P

[ken124578]

Now i'm confused... does post-emperor mean: after the old ww boards were closed or does post emperor mean: after emperor was released?

[The_Sadukar]

I joined as it says in my profile, in 2002

[Gobalopper]

Emperor came out in 2001 so the Poll question isn't a very good one, since it lists "pre-Emperor" only as 2001

As I said the dates are estimates and aren't entirely accurate.

as well, i don't see what the purpose of this Poll is. don't you already have access to all that information at your fingertips? if so, why ask in a Poll?

Not everyone registered right away and back when guest posting was enabled they could post without joining. Some people have also gotten new accounts since then.

And post/pre is based on the games release ken.

[sneezer3]

Post Emperor. I played dune 2000 before then but never saw the boreds. and never online.
