Followed all the cool people from Transfandom to here.

Been posting since the Beast Wars days

 

here since april 2001, had a diff name then picked Mechatron in 2002.

 

Probably was deprived of his figgy pudding, which is a lowsey thing to happen to a person this time of year.

 

IIRC, I joined as "Metal_Warrior" back in '00 or '01. I didn't post that much but it was fun. I remember almost hitting OWTM and then it was bumped from 800 to 1000 posts to get it so I had to work a little harder.

 

If I remember correctly, I found and joined this site through a link from the old Beast Machines/Beast Machines 2 website back in 2000. I still remember this site being attached to Transfandom, and Tony B. creating the downloads for Car Robots episodes.

Wow! Has it been that long? It's been a fun ride so far, and I'm still using the same goofy name since the first day I was here.  

 

I don't remember if I joined before or after this site became part of Transfandom. But I do remember having to re-register, though. The early days are kinda fuzzy to me. I remember having chats and stuff with Kickback, Metal_Soldier, Fresh Debesh, Jux, beatnik poe, Trainimus, DMK, Random_64 and Iced1138 and all the rest of you guys. I also remember you guys making fun of Raptor for being so young lol. And then kinda going to Kickback and Jux's site, TFGen3 at the same time for a while till that died.

Everytime we have one of these thread, I end up wondering what happened to Trainimus. We used to be pretty good friends and talked a lot on AIM. And beatnik poe and DMK. I talked to DMK a couple years ago and tried to keep in touch with her but she just kinda disappeared. beatnik just up and vanished too.

Ahhh nostalgia.

 

I believe it was 2000. I came here and the forums were briefly called "the nexus" before the 2005 boards officially launched as their own entity. So pretty much from the very beginning.

It's amazing how much this site has grown. Like Tony now no longer posts mixes...and...Snabald is now called Dark Convoy....Uhm....so...yeah.

 

Joined back in 02. According to the member list, I'm #198. Shitloads of people joined at the beginning of July.

 

I'm surpised no one has posted this yet.

Anyway, I don't remember for sure when I first started coming here, mostly lurking.

 

did anyone from the old site get their name taken when having to re-register...

 

Remember when Tony used to post the Car Robots episodes? I've sent him the tapes, LOL.
I've been in and out since 1999. Before TFW, I mean. I used to post my illustrations at Greg Gaub's website.
Once I've asked about the veteran tag, some mod said it's just for TFW2005 staff members.

 

Same. The memory of a.t.t. seems so foreign to me now. I know I lurked for a long time here before I actually made an account.

 

I think KB has us all beat.

For some reason, I feel like Transfan2's going to outlast us all.
We'll all be dead, then TFW will fade away, and tf2 will migrate to the next TF site and show new haul pics without any RIP threads for us.

 

Been here since 2002 so while I am far from the longest active member I am still here longer than most of you.  


I remember when I created the account I was like, damn is this a new TF site? Cuz I was able to create the name Predaking without it being taken already, which happened at all other TF sites that I visited.

 

Been reading the site since the Car Robots days, though didn't actually join till 2004.

 

Yup. I joined in 2000, re-registered in 2002 after the big board reset. Became content staff and submitted toy pictures, then became Toyark and Radicons mod. I quit being a mod/content guy when my dad passed away a few years ago.

Now I've got this nifty veteran tag  

 

So when will I get a nifty veteran tag?  

 

You ever been a mod?

 

I did not even know how to use a computer in 2000 XD
I did not know how to read
I did not know how to wrirte
all in all not much has changed...
