Been around since the multiplayer demo, played the game flat out for over a year then left when it started to die. I just installed it again a couple of weeks ago for a bit of fun this game will always be a favourite!

I guess since about 3-4 months before the public beta, although I wasn't in the beta.

Good lord, I'm beginning to feel nostalgic...
Ah, the great events that shocked and dazzled the Renegade community...
I don't know the dates, but someone can put it in chronological order, most likely the [EoE] members.
- Renegade Revolutions announced.
- Westwood shut down by Electronic Arts.
- Revolutions closed, Evolutions begun
- n00bstories opens its first AOW server
- Death of Trey Dornieden, best known as [DOM]TreyD
- Breakdown of Dominion Guild, birth of Forces of Diversion.
- Havocman Spazz captured on TeamSpeak, possibly one of the funniest moments in Renegade history.
- Death of Lynne Stevenson, known as Lynne6000 in WOL, also known as Aircraftkiller's girlfriend.
- Open beta of RenAlert announced, followed by patches which marked Renegade Alert as a totally separate game.
- First cheaters caught, cheats begin invasion of WOL servers.
- Renguard announced in progress, a program to stop cheaters from entering servers protected by Renguard.
- Breakdown of Forces of Diversion, birth or End of Evolution.
- Blackhand Studios announced, consisting of some of the greatest minds the Renegade community has to offer.
- Petroglyph Studios announced, consisting of ex-Westwood employees.
- Lynne Stevenson returns, proclaiming that her siter had faked her death.
- Renguard released.
Feel free to add the dates or add other events I forgot.
EDIT: I just had a thought. I believe that these forums are going to be the birthplace of something extraordinary. Blackhand Studios IS going to be the next big thing, as Aircraftkiller already implied that they have the Renegade source code to work with. Plus, with Renegade Alert getting better by the day, and Reborn showing obvious signs of improvement, it is in my humble opinion that something very big will happen in less than a year.

Oh I have been around awhile.
Long enough to remember the frustration of not being able to register on the boards, and only be able to watch in vain....
I also remember trying to get into HS way back, and the frustration of Beacon-Leave exploits, as well as the giddiness of the flying patch coming out with those two extra maps. 
And then there was that whole -WL- thing.... :rolleyes:
I also remember when Shane the pain established the pitts as a response to the beacon-leave, and asked for a core group of members to help report, and moderate a clean server. I was one of those founding members. Think I was #6 or so. I haven't been back since it turned into a huge site.
I remember Raveshaw, and Duke ruining many a topic....
And I remember Blazer's Dusty Black car.......
Yeah, I have been around a while.

Yeah,
I recognize most of you ol farts!
My college roommate, BRUUPO, introduced me to Renegade on his rig, and it was the first FPS I had ever played. I was alread 30 years old and never really played computer games.
I went out and bought a computer JUST to play Renegade! To this day it is the only FPS game I play, and the primary reason for my comp at home.
The original Renegade Forums were the first forum boards I had ever visited.
I guess you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks.
PS: Hello to those of you I havent seen in a long long time.
Remember when other forum folks could "rank" you? LOL.
Remember when running backwards to the ob was the biggest cheat in the game? LOL.
Remember when nodmama and blkwasp were the only couple who played?

Yes, ranking was one of the features I wish i could have implemented when you all moved over here. I certainly don't forget spending two straight days modifying a phpBB template to look like our old home.
Then there was R. Daneel Olivaw, a short lived disliked member... PlanetShaun.co.ck, Devinoch, Dirty Delphi Sex (and many variations)... PlanetShaun.co.uk who had to put >> in front of any topic he started :rolleyes:... The Aircraft beta where ACK and I started the "shoot another building with your buggy when you rush another" tactic and won like 3 maps in a row. (and the birth of "ownage, plain and simple")
Oh, what else... EARepSegue, TOS violations, "ANTI" which was an anti-n00b club similar to NFD....
I'm the bawss.

I don't remember ANTI. I do remember the whole thing about -WL-.
I remember one time there was this HUGE LONG thread debating against 2 clans. It was -WL- and i THINK it was HoA or AoA. I don't remember...I was reading a little bit from it a few months ago, I somehow found a few sheets that I printed off to read it.
Edit: I also remember [AoA]Emperor. What ever happened to him? He still here? I never really paid as much attention as I could have.

I remember when I was an actual forum n00b. Back on the Official Renegade Forums when Westwood was still running.
I had no idea what the purpose of the forums were for. So I spammed my way to 800+ post. I'd be surprised of anyone remembers that. I'd be surprised if any one even remembers me.
