rSquar3d 0 Posted December 17, 2010 Good morning, noon, afternoon, evening or whatever time it is wherever you're from (the one reading this >). This is both an introduction AND a return address. Hehe. Some forum veterans, like Luk3us (congrats on being the first guy to pop-up in my head), Sonic (the great founder >), Doctor Destiny (you were Beowulf before, I think >), Saracen, Hypnotist, and whoever else was there about 5 or 6 years or so, will probably remember my name as either Mr. Machine Gun (yes, the gun nut with guns for avatars), Azrael (licking cartoon avatar) or rzr69erz. I first came here looking for maps for C&C: Generals. Then I got hooked to the forums. As a forum member, I've pretty much moved around; I've been there seen the Now Playing threads were first created (note that this is not in order, I'm just saying what I remember), I was there when some nut was banned repeatedly then perma banned for being rude and spamming heavily. I was there when we jumped from PHPBB to IP Boards for forum system (or did I get it right? All I know is we switched from one platform to another >). I remember there was this guy who was an actual marine, an avid C&C fan, and also an intellectual, and we'd spend entire hours just talking on threads. Of course, he disappears every now and then because, after all, he is a marine. I remember the anticipation the community had for Pteroglyph and it's first game; I remember debates on which C&C game was better; heck, I remember debates on which Mammie (Mammoth Tank, if you didn't know) version was the best. Some might remember me asking for help about girls, of all things. Some might remember me as the adolescent who yapped and yapped, tried to be respectful but was damn rude at the same time, and never backed down from his opinions. I probably was one of the youngest guys here that time. And there were the Drunken Stupor threads. Boy. Then I suddenly disappeared from the forums, about four years ago. Since then, I was gone. But the memory of this place never left me. Here, I learned life lessons (from the unlikeliest of sources). Here, I was indoctrinated in rock music (I was a hip-hop/pop nut back then). Here, I got to make friends from every demographic. Since then, I'd like to think I grew up. I went to hell and back; and many of the things and memories from CNCNZ helped me out through those times. Now, I'm a writer for a local newspaper, my opinion-making being necessary for that position (and I was well-shaped in that thanks to this community), am a student in the top university of my country (the Philippines). and practically became a better man. And now, I'm back. For good. For those that didn't know me, well, that's my background (or at least part of it). Hi, hope to know you soon, blah2x. To the veterans, hello again. Let's go posting again. > A long read, sentimental bull**** and all. But that's that. Let's go post. Share this post Link to post

Nmenth 291 Posted December 17, 2010 If you are Azrael, why create a new account rather than just use your old one? Share this post Link to post
rSquar3d 0 Posted December 17, 2010 It's called a fresh start. Hehe. In all actuality though, I forgot the password. LOL. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted December 17, 2010 I can always do these things called "password resets." Share this post Link to post
Nmenth 291 Posted December 17, 2010 I can always do these things called "password resets." Sounds like fun, you should do it to every account one day just to mess with everyone. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted December 17, 2010 I have access to the administration panel so I can change every password on every account with one script. Share this post Link to post
rSquar3d 0 Posted December 18, 2010 Oh noes. Doctor Destiny will mess with our accounts. Damn. Seriously, I prefer having this new account over the old one though. Share this post Link to post
rSquar3d 0 Posted December 18, 2010 And greetings to you as well. Ain't that damn formal. > Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted December 19, 2010 Of course I'm the first person to pop into your head, its only natural I am everywhere after all, but nowhere! Oooo ooOOoOoOooo... Welcome back bud. Share this post Link to post
rSquar3d 0 Posted December 19, 2010 I first remembered the fact that you were the one with the highest post count. And still the one having it. Plus those siggies do ring a bell. I kinda missed your rank (the image one) with the small kiwi on it though. > Share this post Link to post
