Dunenewt Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 My in-game name is Dunenewt, I think the IP is 85.148.234.3:27960 or 85.234.148.3:27960, can't remember which way round it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Hello everyone at FED2k. Just visiting to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Apart from that, I don't have much to say except that it's good to see this site still running. How many years has it been now since the site first took off? Is this site still the same site that kept you coming back back when the Westwood forums were closed down? How has the community grown/evolved over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edric O Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hello everyone at FED2k. Just visiting to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Apart from that, I don't have much to say except that it's good to see this site still running. How many years has it been now since the site first took off? Is this site still the same site that kept you coming back back when the Westwood forums were closed down? How has the community grown/evolved over the years?And a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you! :)The community has, for the most part, grown older - in a very literal sense. The regular posters we have today are mostly old timers; we came here back when we were teenagers playing Dune games, and liked the community so much that we never left.I remember first discovering FED2k when I was 13 (though I didn't start posting on the forums until a year later). I'm now a few days away from 23. And I don't intend to ever leave, though real life forces me into periods of lurking every now and then. That's probably the main reason for the reduced forum activity in general: Too many RL commitments for all of us. We're not as young as we used to be. ;) Of course, we've also had a number of new members joining the forum and becoming regulars in recent years, but for the most part they are older than we were when we first joined.And as far as I know, FED2k was founded on January 15, 1998. Which makes it almost 11 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I must second what Edric said, it seems as if Fed2k has been here forever, having found it when I was young also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandChigger Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm now a few days away from 23. ... We're not as young as we used to be. ;)Oh, BITE YOU. >:( :D(Seriously, it'll be interesting to see how many of you twenty-somethings will still be spouting revolution in another ten years. ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Belated Merry Christmas, Belated Happy New Year, and @Edric O, Happy Birthday in advance!I too discovered the site when I was 13. And now I'm a few months from 21. Geez. It's been many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Oh, BITE YOU. >:( :D It's ok, don't feel too bad about being really, extremely, unbelievably ancient. :P(Seriously, it'll be interesting to see how many of you twenty-somethings will still be spouting revolution in another ten years. ;) )Actually, my degree of support for violent revolution has grown with age. It also seems to exhibit temporary spikes whenever I play too much Dawn of War... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Never forget that violence only breeds more violence... But I do understand the temptation though :-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 This is my... 6003rd post, and I'm 22. Do I count as an old timer now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Perhaps we should compile a list of Old Timers...although we should be careful, lest it develop into something like the original Fed2k Landsraad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Now that sounds dangerously political :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 On the subject of the Landsraad, I often wondered if my name cropped up. Obviously I wasn't as deserving as the stapler, my theory being that I'm a bit too willing to let decorum slip in favour of snappy argument, but was curious nevertheless.I figured I'd ask now that it's long gone and I don't look like I'm pleading. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'm rather bed bound at the moment as four wisdom teeth were ripped out of my face on Friday.Good to see the old crew still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWS Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 What was this.... Landsraad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 An exclusive club of sorts, with its own board. Members were elected to it at a maximum rate of one per month, until it was dissolved some time ago. It was a particular point of contention for emprworm, who held that it was elitist and favouritist, never quite realising that Landraad councillors held no special powers or offices besides the purely ceremonial.Or at least, that's what they told us...
