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.

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.
