Just wondering why my account was older than an administrator thats all, but seeing your acount i see you been here a long time too, not seen an account made before 2002 so maybe its been around since 2002?

Well, if GWiki (http://wiki.gamingw.net/) was up, you would be able to find out about such information easily.... However, it is currently down for maintenance.

There's a few members that have been here since 2001 (i think DarkPriest is one of them) and I believe GW was created in 2000, but I'm not 100% certain.

GW was created in the big bang, among all other amazing things in the universe.

The internet achive shows the oldest snapshot of the site as being May 15th 2001, so that'd be pretty close to the actual start of the site.

Title: So how long has gamingw.net been around?
Post by: unusualgamer on May 11, 2008, 11:36:37 pm
GW has known enough admins.


Bart
Alexander
DragonSlayer
Mateui
Impeal
Moriason (I'm pretty sure he was a long time ago.)

I think Master Dark Ninja was an admin, but don't quote me on that, and Mr. Y I don't know if he ever went above Global Mod.

yeah uh THIS VERSION of gw has been around since late november of 2001 but before that i think there was another version of the site and forums that was around from late 2000 to late 2001 when they switched and everyone had to reregister.  so like 6 or 7 years, depending when you start counting.


also there are a lot of them but the admins i can remember are bart, mori, mr. y, faust, pyrate, alexander, legacy, darkpriest, steel, rowain, jester, mdn, ds, rami, impeal, mateui aaaand i'm probably missing some but yeah.

Post by: Marcus on May 12, 2008, 01:19:11 am
You also forgot Faust/Lord Gremlian.  He was one of the original founders.  Bart's original name was Fenix before he changed it to Bart and started taking up his lego persona.  Mr. Y was an admin.  He made me staff before GW 5 went down the shitter.

In the year 2000 there was a forum or board called rm2k.net or something stupid like that.  It was pretty small and full of a bunch of 12 year old fags making bad rtp games but it was a close knit group of fags and they were all small and cool.  About a year later, Bartek Gniado a small brownie from the magical forest deep within the Canadian Highlands, purchased the server and domain name and renamed it to Gamingw and the foget (that blue guy from that shitty Neo Geo game) became our mascot.

My memory was hazy at that point, but I lurked the board because I was loyal to the gamefaqs rpg maker board (lol).  We basically talked about how much gamingw sucked and how cool GGZ was (big mistake).  I got super pissed off at the gamefaqs board because the guys there were dumb and you couldn't post screens and shit so I joined GGZ.  I talked to SHE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED for 5 minutes on AIM (because the ONLY way to join their boards was to message the dumb bitch and she would give you a fucking board interview HOLY SHIT GGZ WAS FUCKING ELITIST). **

I posted once and got banned because my game contained resources that Dark_Priest made and he was a Gamingw member.

I said "why the fuck not?" and joined gamingw as bakusan (my gamefaqs handle) a name I couldn't quite remember where I got it from or what inspired me to choose something so stupid.  Within that year I got into a huge argument with Alexander (the STEEL PALADIN of 2001) about FuBu or something like that and I called out Ryan (the mcdonalds guy) and he ended up getting fired.  Then I changed my name to Marcus (my middle name of sorts) and got into the "in" crowd by test playing Naufragar as I was the only person who actually finished the fucking betas.

**that which shall not be named/Q_Heretic (her son) interview essentially boiled down to "Have you now or have you ever been to the cess pool shit hole otherwise known as GamingW?"

The answer, of course, was no.  If you said yes she would add you to the ignore list, ban your IP, and probably call your mom.  I SHIT YOU NOT, SHE CALLED BART'S MOM. 

She also threatened to sue us multiple times for using "exclusive" resources even though they were mostly RTP edits which were strictly against the TOS.  GGZ even BANNED rpg2k3 because it was "illegal" or some stupid shit yet openly supported rpg2k and kept Don Migeul's links in their contact info.

And that, my friends, is where babies come from.

ON THE SUBJECT OF STEEL

His first post here was about how modern games sucked and Ico and Super Metroid Prime was awesome or something then he pm'd me and called me dumb because he didn't think I liked the games.

We've been love/hate buddies ever since the hairy bastard.  I wish I saved pics of him joning Avril Lavigne.

glad hundley posted because he was the reason i joined the forums.  he was as drunk back then as he is now (except he was more active) and he was the mod of the literature forum but the lit forum is super slow and sucks so he quit/got fired/got bored/moved on. 

i don't think hundley even knows where he is or what he's doing here but i follow him around because i'm president of the fan club... kind of like how members like steel have followers (hereby dubbed Paladinians) that fag up every topic with "go steel" and "lol astrojone"

Title: So how long has gamingw.net been around?
Post by: Marcus on May 12, 2008, 01:32:55 am
i don't think i've ever seen a single member rub their join date in another members face and we've discussed multiple times about removing post count (we even removed it for a couple of weeks but it got put back because Atari and DS lost the will to live and Moriason, being an actual manic depressive, threatened to kill himself or something).  there was a period back when dragonslayer and masterdarkninja weren't mods and battled for most posts (MDN had like 20,000 posts in one month that guy was a BEAST) gamingw had this ANTI-ELITISM MARCH where we scoured every board and attacked anyone that even remotely seemed full of pride.

We had a couple of cool group things like raiding a white supremacy board and trolling GGZ (and Wishcow would retaliate by trolling us but it was fucking obvious who she was).

Oh god, memories.

Why are we even discussing the past? Its so...depressing..we should look at the future like lets say 2 years from now when Bart retires and he makes me owner of the site, now thats something to look forward to.

i distantly remember ggz but as i was an innocent child whose parents would not let join forums (i joined gw secretly heh) i did not realize the shittiness of ggz

oh yeah hi

My history is lame and boring and you don't want to know but I'll tell you anyways for no real good reason.

back on topic now

GW used to be an awesome site for resources, as far as I can remember. There used to be a smaller selection of games, too. And they were mostly decent. And weren't all [advert]. And were not all jrpgs. Also I remember part of the GW rules was "lol don't swear we have younger folk here" and I was happy because that meant I could join because I was 12 at the time.

=(

i want to hear more tales of ggz because gwiki is down so i cannot enjoy the finer aspects of the story

also no otomon no
no

dwelling in the past is important so we do not make the same mistakes in the future...

GGZ certainly looks like a site full of funny people



Anyways, I like reading peoples histories about how they came on here, especially Marcus's. Was the site launched on 02 with a mainpage or did that come later?
Title: So how long has gamingw.net been around?
Post by: Marcus on May 12, 2008, 03:00:56 am
There has always been a main page which is why everyone is trying to get GW6 done.  GW is nothing without a mainpage it's what we're missing in life!

Wasn't BBM an admin, or was he just a front page staffer?

Also the greatest GW member (WIP) is from '01, along with some other lesser people.

WIP is from the rm2k website that Bart took over so he's pretty old school.  that dude, the owner of queen's court, and several other rm2k fags are the oldest members here.

I discovered RPGMaker '95 in 1998, I think, and then I learned about RPGMaker 2000 through two aquaintences who I had introduced to the RM95. I was a member at rpg2knet.com way back in the day, and when I got a better computer, I got RM2k and started to comb sites for resources, so GGZ, Phylomortis, GamingW. I made a couple games before 2002, and was banned for trying to post them at GGZ (I don't remember why), but when I registered at GamingW, I got my game Gunslingers (never finished) as front page news. I layed low for a couple years and in 2004 I started to get more active in making games and being online and stuff.
GW's always been pretty cool. I have been getting less and less cool though.
Holy cow, this year is my ten yearniversary of game making.

Hey I remember there was this guy who would always post news on the main site back for GW 4 and GW 5. Maybe for GW 3 too I don't remember. But his avatar was like this polar bear and he was like the friendliest guy in the world. Who was he and what happened to him?

HAHAHAAHAAHAHA. An INTERVIEW.
Wishmoo was a psychopath, I'm surprised the website is still up. I got an EMAIL from her once demanding i remove some shitty sprite from my webspace... eventually threatened with legal action. I think I joined the forums for once out of curiosity, and it was INCREDIBLY BORING. Something about it reminds me of a strange religious UTOPIAN community. I remember posting an image on there for some reason, and getting warned because it was hosted on a website that hosted an Rm2k3 file or something.

I think you mean AnonymousGuy (also known as the member #1337) but the avatar wasn't a polar bear it was a dog. AnonymousGuy was the guy who did the weekly game round ups, and also was a site admin for a short while. Shit I really need to get gwiki back up.

I remember about a year or two back I tried to register at GGZ and because of my reputation on GW my registration was never completed. I've been around since 2000 and was a member of Dark Dominion(old ass RM site which would later be known as Dev Empire). When I came to GW however........I went under the name GameCriticboy and from then on all hell broke loose. When I went to other forums people already knew who I was because some member from another site informed them of how I(as they put it)bash others games. Heh....me.......bashing games.........lol!

Oh man this topic is nostalgic. When I first saw GW, I didn't like it, preferred some other website. Then I realized the resources were sweet, and the tutorials helped me. After a while I joined the forums as Master Mog, a dumb 12-13 year old who typed like what you would expect a 13 year old would type like, got owned by SafariGoku for being stupid, and posted a lot about RM2K. I remember posting a lot in a topic about PSO, along with Kezay, NickWillNotBe (or will he?), and deluge.

The admins at the time were Bart, Mori, Faust, DP, Mr. Y and Pyrate. Those are the originals that I remember.

GW pretty much made me a lot more elitist, to the point where I can't stand a lot of other forums because people are too stupid to even be tolerated.

Anyway, man.. I can barely even remember GW from the 2002-2004 era, it's just a big blur to me now. I think it is mostly because, at the time, I was pretty low-key. Hell, I only managed about 900 posts in my first year and a half or something.

I remember when I was on GGZ's forums though. I had been on there for a good little while until they started acting like idiots, so I just said "fuck this" and gave out my password to everyone in #gamemaker at the time and we spammed it up. Good times..

For a while, I was a member of GGZ. I posted screenshots of my rpg2k3 and they banned me, with no reason of why. Damn fags.

Anyways, I joined GW back in 2002 I think? I've been here for a while now, but I'm not aware of the sites history and whatever. Like, I just surf around here and post once in a while.

I remember I came here advertising a site I made. It was pretty damn terrible and grindie came in and told me that and we got into an argument.  I think he was a mod back then. It got to the point where Rami removed my posting privileges and I ended up coming back as something gay like dark_hacker or something.
I don't even know how I ended up staying here tbh, but I'm glad I did because I got a shit load of laughs and GW *shamefully* helped me mature a bit.

I hope some people who have left us make a reappearance. I'm looking at you, TheCreeper, MDN (although he has moved on to SurvivorSucks... It's a shame that it was I that converted him to been obsessed with Survivor. He's even more obsessed with it than myself if you can believe that!), Logan (what happened to him Mori, and what happened to you?), the various girls of GW that I haven't heard from in years - 4DSheep, Celera, OwlStorm, |3lue, RG?

Celera
Celera is Lena Andreia, the graphical artist for Chrono Ark(Remember Chrono Crisis.. Well the whole team left the guy who started it and are now making Chrono Ark which has a release for early next year as well) and I think posts at GGZ now and then. I remember MDN only for that horrible Ninja game he made with his user name as the main character.. Good times.

Whatever happened to Legacy001 or Lysander86, Rusty, etc. Mr Y does indeed post at RMN but not often, apparently he's still working with Rpgmaker after all these years. I used to lurk this place back in 02-03 until I joined in.. Whatever my join date is. I remember Wackfiends one topic where he was getting all upset over a bus pass or some shit and Chefs "Im actually a guy" prank thing on someone, that is still the one real thing etched in my head when I think of GW now.

What version of GW was that white and red looking one? Also remember Forgotten Origins demo releasing with like the highest rating on the old site. Does anyone remember why Bloodrose left?

ahah I remember this but slightly better than you do because it was kermit the toad trying to make me admit I was gay. I rolled with it and said I put vibrators up my butt hole and he posted chatlogs in the crap shack like he'd made a big win. Never did understand that guy.

could an admin please change my name to markrosoft. Please don't but it's funny because when I asked in 2002 to be Mark instead the admin couldn't do it so I had to make a new account and he matched the post counts. We've come a long way....

RG posted a couple of months ago like 3 times about the same time Corel tried to come back. 4DSheep still posts occasionally in debate threads. You don't normally have to read her posts though. lately they're all just I'M ANGRY AND CONTRADICTORY. I could have sworn i've seen |3lue around recently, maybe in IRC but i'm probably doing that thing where i'm thinking about like years ago but i have a pretty shitty sense of time.

mekesss fucking sucked. there's no real way around it. he was a really stupid guy and he was the first person I disliked on gw because I bumped an hour old locked topic and said WHOS HEARD OF A CRICKET PS1 GAME or something and he got mad and was like THATS NOT MODLY and he was right but fuck him dude couldn't even say that in private?

this was my first interaction with mekesss and then he had a heart attack on GW Radio and then slowly revealed himself to be more pathetic than rage inducing. this is my mekesss story.

also like a week ago I clicked some gw's bash.org sig, clicked random, and:

(17:14:32) Eddie P: #4701 +(0)- [X]

<Nate> I don't care that I don't fuck chicks.
<Nate> I have my MCSD.
<RPGoddess> but nate.... sex is good! :D
<Nate> Yes Shari, I would imagine.
<Nate> But so is manual sex.
<Nate> :)
(17:14:38) Eddie P: what the fuck
(17:14:47) Eddie P: i found rpggodess...
(17:14:51) Eddie P: http://www.bash.org/?4701

bash has THOUSANDS of quotes so this was really weird.

I met RG four years ago and honestly she's a nice enough person. I understand her husband's a little strange and mean as it is I wouldn't be like BEST PERSON EVER or GOTTA MEET HER SO HOT or anything but she was really nice and we ate at some vegan place. I do think she was way too trusting though; like we walked through some pretty abandoned fucking places alone together and I kept thinking man

you uh...

you don't look like you are carrying mace at all and this is downtown Baltimore and you literally have NO IDEA WHO I AM.

so that's my story.
Title: So how long has gamingw.net been around?
Post by: Artis Leon Ivey Jr on April 30, 2009, 09:18:37 pm
this is kind of why I always have a lowyield "you dorks" whenever a GW meet topic that doesn't look like Shep's rolls around because arrogant as it is I think I'm an average to okay person when I first meet people and I can't help but feel that RG meet was kind of lame and I wouldn't PAY EXTRA for it and you guys actually truck over and play Guitar Hero and shit and it's unfathomable to me.

Chef was cool though we were on at least a friends wavelength but having Sredni there helped too and then I was also really really sick and no one knew. that could have been a much better meet all around but yeah that's my old time GW memories! I also came alarmingly close to meeting Hundley but in retrospect it was probably for the best we didn't because I embarassingly had a lowgrade hero worship of him as far as FORUM PEOPLE can go and I bet I would have freaked him out as he was graduating at the time.

I also apparently met bloodbath at a PT concert and we didn't know but I later confirmed he was standing in front of one of the three black guys and I probably saw him. if he had known i was there he would have seen me.

The thing I miss the most was when Bart, Faust, a bunch of other guys, and me would get on webcams and do all kinds of stupid shit, like compare shirts or whatever else was laying around our computers.  Sometimes it got really weird though...

Then there was #blooguy or something, and some really bizarre plans for GW were made there.  We'd have really late night discussions about what GW could do, and like none of them ever went anywhere.  Pretty much everyone who had access to #blooguy is gone now.  I think it's just Mateui and I who are still around.

for the same reason it would annoy the shit out of you if i ended every post like this!

-Steel

and no you're definitely misremembering if you think most of us had stopped using punctuation. most of US, the chucklefucks, yeah, but most of GW was definitely properly punctuating.

the thing was we even would say just stick it in your fucking sig, it's annoying as hell to quote you ever, you're clearly going out of your way to add it (he claimed his keyboard was broken and he couldn't hit shift), and he just wouldn't even acknowledge it!

I've never been fat. :|

I don't recall this avatar but my memory is shit.

I lurked for a while in late 2002 before finally joining. I think... my earliest memories of GW were the articles, games and tutorials in the mainsite, SteelPaladine being a smartass, Dr Funk, Faust, Chef, Hundley and his excellent ToTWs... can't remember much else.

Then for a while I was RPing with Dark Assassin, Death Ritual, Life and the rest and all hell broke loose. I remember having a huge argument with ThePandaExpression (that prick). But headphonics seems cool now. Anyway we took our RPing to another board but the GW Secret Service knows no frontiers........ . ..   . .

Obviously I hardly ever post now but I still come in about 2 or 3 times a year. You guys have changed.

if all you dudes who just LURK started posting occasionally, GW would maybe look 43% less dead

i just think a lot of us loved game making and weren't very infatuated with the community
now we're all old and realistic : (

does anybody remember that alexander admin though?
i remember him calling somebody an eunuch once and i cracked up. that was still to this day the greatest ownage i've seen online actually . . .

i just remember trying to make a few rm2k/gamemaker games and never had the motivation to ever finish them : PPPPPPPPP then again 99% of the community was like that as well so it was all cool  :sport:

What version of GW was the red one. I remember that one vaguely as it was pretty much the last for a long time I saw this place with a main site.

i see it as my mission to revive GW to what it once was.

step one is to become noticed. i see getting over 1000 posts will be essential here







wish me luck

OVER 9000 years apparently.

Been here since the dawn of time.

Being a village idiot for rpg palace. And into the far reaches of dark-dominion, or you can call it dd-capital or whatever, watching the evil emperor and that other guy's name? acting like a bitch and leaving or something. And getting a site about my crappy posts, what is the kamau, that no one gives a crap about. Since Kamau didn't finish Cos and LS3, since apparently we have these thing called real lives now. 

So it's been here for a long time, since I can remember. Call me a veteran who didn't really contribute to make a rpg game himself(or at least tried too), as he's really not talentless at making one, as ideas float off. Though, I did write down a concept and actually did a big story, but lost it on a computer that died. And now are renewing it, named The Trek. Not that I might get it finished.

I think I just found this site randomly, and all those things about disliking GGZ not using other game makers only RPG2000, which is fine by me.  :cool:

Kinda like facepunchstudios disliking HL2world. We always have these site rivals. lol.

Maybe not been around since Duke Nukem Forever was announced, but it's achievement to outdo.

MORE LIKE GAMINGW FOREVER.

Call me a lurker if you will, but try to post now and then. May at end up seeing me at RMXP.org or something.

Call me a 04er, as like facepunch seems to like orgasm over the fact of join dates "OMG I'M A 04er, that makes me better then people who joined at 05, 06, 07 ,08 and 09, suck it". Because people who joined at later dates are not so respected. But not sure if gamingw does that kind of stuff when they see a new member, but you do have a introduction section, so it isn't too bad.

Anyway, enough about that.

End transmission.

i've been here for a while i joined when i was 12 lol . i was really into rpgmaker and i found gw through rpg2knet.com and because you didn't have to be 13 to register an account on gw like you did at rpg2knet.com i immediately made an account here. and didn't really post. it's probably better off if i don't post anymore.

To be more accurate, I wasn't really at a site before, Marcus. I found links to GW from other sites and registered on the forums in 2000. Had to reregister a couple times because Bart kept putting up new forum systems.

I dont put much Faith in the Joined date.
Mine reads Jan 1st 2002.
Jan 1st.......
I would have been much too hungover to even contemplate surfing the internet.
I think i came over to this one when another site closed down, Same one as RPGODDESS.
wow. theres a name i've not heard in years.
Guys Go back to your old usernames, Seriously.
HAHA
Im lurking, I notice this nostalgia thread and open it without thinking or checking the dates and almost post the exact same thing i posted over a year ago.
Good times.

if all you dudes who just LURK started posting occasionally, GW would maybe look 43% less dead
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
Guys Go back to your old usernames, Seriously.

I remember I used to annoy DS with my random capitalising of words. And it wasn't even intentional, dunno why i did it. Didn't even notice it
That was fun.
And donating money to GW i got Bart's address and sent him Australian Currency.  Im kinda curious if he actually got it exchanged or not.

I still get the game creating Itch every now and then, And start working on things, But really its taken a massive backstage to anything and everything else I do. I rarely keep in touch with anyone from GW these days, Pulits occasionally when im online at the same time, Oblivion abit but i know him more through IRC than anything else. Serenity I chat with a bit.

And what happened to Crap Shack/ Post 9/11?
