What Generation are You?

[Dunenewt]

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

In other words I joined during 'the wait'

I voted 1999, but I think it was December 22 or so in 1998. But I lurked roughly two weeks before that. Ah yes, I can remember when topics could go without any replies...and the debates between Edric O and Shaddam Corrino. I can remember when Shiroko posted, and when Mahdi's DLA (Dune Liberation Army) clan still existed for Dune 2000. I can remember when Sihaya Tuek still did map reviews and Spoonranger posted...

Too bad the forum when we upgraded once and screwed up most of our original joining dates pre August 2001, or I'd check it to make sure.

[Dunenewt]

I remember when the Duniverse board was popular :-[

[Kyle]

I joined a few months ago(I think it was in June). I had been playing dune2000 for years and last month i got emperor and FH's dune.

[Boba Fett]

I joined in Jan '03. I came across this site accidentally while searching for Dune stuff. I think I saw a link to this site in Google.

Actually you kinda can't, it screwed up during one update of the forum on most of the older members.

[Mahdi]

No you can't. It is only recently that joining the forum has been made a requirement to post.

Also, during board changes things such as join dates and member numbers have become scrambled.

[Acriku]

I joined mid 2001 as MoiDib, :)

[Dante]

My profile says that I joined in 2002. I thought it was earlier than that... oh well. I'm post-Emperor because I only got here through the official site.

[Jack Leaf]

Well, I am post empy and today. Erm.. yeah.

[Nyarlathotep]

If I look at our numbers, you joined in 2002. I joined on 3rd of Jan 2002 :)

Anyways, what I'm interested in knowing is how the new members came on this site ? It's not that any Dune game is new.. So how did you guys came on this site ?

[Terror]

oops my bad, i thought that the question was:

when did you start getting into dune

[nemafakei]

Previous to mid-2000, I had no decent computer. I bought a then-good computer which refused to work (it took almost a year to get it sorted...) I got a semi-tenable internet connection in mid-2001; I've been coming to the site since May 2001, as I recall, and I found the rather small link to the message board (I hadn't worked out what one of those was yet) in about September (shortly after buying Emp, if I remember correctly). I promptly started to go into Dune Editing, and soon after started helping out there in an official capacity. And then somehow, (seemingly more by accident than design) I found myself as a global mod and, soon, with lots of people asking my help on spam, textures, and all sorts.

Post emperor.

Or is that the wrong date?When was the first spring after Frank herberts Dune (mini) was aired? also I completely forget when I did.(after emperor I think)

[Digital Guerrilla]

I was visiting during the "wait period" but I think I did not join until later. I started playing Quondam in intense games of "Shogun Total War" and he would tell me about FED2k. I was always interested in Dune had all the books at that time and the current RTS games so I became a member.

although the first time I visited this site was 1,5 years prior to that. Can't remember if it was as a guest that I posted the 5 things or so I did in that year or if I had made an account for it.

I recieved the URL from a friend of mine who knew I was [ and am ] an fan of the Dune books and we played Dune2, Dune2000 and GTA untill late in the night back then. Together with using sort of an OS he created just to see if it could be done. [ it was running on the IO.sys of DOS 6.0 to be correct ;) ]

so voted 1999. ..

[DukeLeto]

I first started visiting the site in late 1999/early 2000 when I got Dune 2000, but I didn't register at the forums until I bought Emperor in early 2002.

[Lord J]

My profile says, April 17, 2002. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I found the site on the internet after buying, playing, and losing quite a bit of Dune 2000. I read the FAQs, and decided to take a peek at the forums. My life has been permanently altered by that descision. :)

[neonext]

i joined before i made the dune 2 clone Redux, whenever that was ???

[DukeLeto]

neonext, you joined: June 28, 2002, 18:28:47

You can find it in your public profile.

[Nick]

[rigel6669]

I bought a new computer in may 2002 that was able to go online and I bought EBFD just before i joined this site

... so post emperor

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I have been here for one and a half year. post emperor 2002. although I only got the adress of the forum from the commandos game community, idn't have emperor at that time though. I was more interested in the books.
