I first found Ironworks in February 2001. I needed help on a Baldur's Gate I issue, so I did a Yahoo search and this forum came up first. I found the answer to my question right on the first page, so I didn't need to join in order to get help. A little later on though, I had another problem, and had to post in order to get the answer. This was July 2001. The rest, as they say, is history.

I met a lot of cool people on here and talked to dozens of members on various messengers. The forum was really close-knit at the time, and I was friends with pretty much everyone. This became less and less over the months, due to arguments, back-talk, pm- and e-mail wars etc, combined with the simple fact that people leave your life over time. Now I hardly know anyone on the boards. I do miss the days of closeness, but I realize you can't go back. It's a shame though - nowadays nobody even knows who the hell I am. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
