A friend told me about signups for the beta test in November 2001. He said "Ever play C&C? They have a beta test signup tomorrow."... So I signed up, was chosen for Phase 1 of the beta. I loved the game, so did my brother. I was pretty active in the beta test forum.

I bought the game about 2 days after it came out (there wasn't a huge priority to buy it since the beta servers were still up but I wanted to play in off-hours). I became pretty active in the General forums after that. (My user number was 859 I think)

I started n00bstories.com when a thread started where people were writing a bunch of their stories. I offered to make a site for us to store stories and vote on them. People liked the idea, and hence n00bstories.com was born.

In February 2003, EA announced the Westwood Studios was going to be closed down and Virtual Ted (one of the top Westwood guys) posted for people to volunteer to take over hosting the Official Forums. Many sites applied and it eventually came down to n00bstories or RenEvo. I bought the renegadeforums.com domain and told everyone that if I ran the forums, they would be separate from the n00bstories site and wouldn't have the same staff. Obviously I ended up being chosen and the rest is history. Smile

Oh yeah, and a little bit of history for those who haven't been around as long... Blazer and I met right on these very forums (while Westwood still ran them)... isn't it a strange twist of fate that we now run them? Smile


I'm the bawss.
