Re: Has it really been ten years?
SkyrimskyrimskyrimYAY.
But it's odd. I haven't posted here properly in at least 5 of my registered years, and yet I still see the same names about. Ironworks seems to be more of a lifestyle choice than a forum... I used to capitalise every letter (for some reason), now I've learned to type. I can also now spell the word biscuit, and I am no longer sporting the nickname Binky. Life does go on eh? It is odd though, from Davros' post. I don't think I've ever met another Ironworker. Except for Lavindathar, who I knew before either of us were here. But then again, I don't think that too many lived anywhere near me. Brings back some fond memories this board, though.

Re: Has it really been ten years?
I joined in 2000 when it was still a blueboard before this one came into existence. It really is amazing it has been so long! A lot has changed for me since then. I married, then divorced, and have gone through several jobs. Life is pretty good for me now, although of course I am always looking for greener pastures.
As for Ironworkers I have met - Lord of Alcohol, Charlie and Epona (I immediately liked all of them) A lot of forums have come and gone, probably because people move on, or maybe have posted about so many topics they are all posted out, and I think places like Facebook and MMORGS (I'd love to see more multiplayer gaming options here, I don't like gaming online with strangers!) have grown ever so popular. But I'm glad Ironworks is still here and even though I don't post as much, I still check it out pretty regularly. I will always be a part of this place and support its longevity. |

Re: Has it really been ten years?
I joined in 2001 November (just like it says next to my posts). Probably the main changes I'd point out are that I lived in China for a year and I've begun my BA studies in Philosophy. It's loads of fun.
I've honestly generally kept away from CRPGs since I stopped playing BGII and all the other awesome games from around that time.They just don't make them like they used to. While I don't come to IWF often, I sometimes do stop by to lurk around. It's great to see that the place is still here, same as always. |

Re: Has it really been ten years?
It is indeed nice to see the old Ironworkers comming out from the behind the works...and as Beaumanoir wrote - Ironworks IS a lifestyle choice - for some - or else it is just pure nostalgia and the thoughts of nice people that draws me here.
in regards to the comment on missing MMO's - I am waiting for Torchlight 2 to hit the retailers in april - its not MMO but does have Multi and seems to be a clone of diablo2 and dungeon siege... It looks good for me ( played the first one through several times ) so if anyone wants to co-op the pm me for some battling of strange creatures and fun

Re: Has it really been ten years?
Personally I'm looking forward to Diablo 3. I've had so really good time playing that game with the people here in the past.

Re: Has it really been ten years?
This April 5th is also our 10th year Wedding Anniversary!!!
(we've been together since 1994) Which is awesome. I mean, these days, its rare, ya know? BTW all you IW'ers facebook me!! http://www.facebook.com/dhuling It's amazing that it's been 11 years (including blueboard).. I mean, I never thought I'd create such a forum that turned into a close friendly place, kinda like a family. Heck, because of Ironworks, people got married. THAT right there is worth it for me! I plan on IW's being here in 20 years! Have been having some health issues, but are getting better. I have MANY new things for IW's to come soon. I'm almost done with my tgeweb remake. Its massive... over 200 html pages. Then update/upgrade Ironworks Gaming website, and the Forum. BTW, I sprained my right wrist bad.. this was like 3 weeks ago. The swelling and bruising went down after 3-4 days, but its going on 4 weeks! Normal to still hurt? It begins to hurt when I use the mouse, lift things... I'm a righty so its getting irritating. more than painful. If its not better by 6 weeks, I'll get an x ray.. I mean, I probably ripped the tendon...

Re: Has it really been ten years?
Hmmm... I dislocated my left knee cap almost 2 years ago. Took over a month before I could go without crutches. Still bothers me now and then. Bicycling helps though, so perhaps consult a physician on some therapeutic excercizes? Personally, I never saw a doctor on the issue, just pushed it back in place and hobbled home and put some ice and bandaging on it. (probably not the smartest way to handle it)

Re: Has it really been ten years?
Yeah, I would rather not have to go to the doc for it.. I've done it before, but this time its healing slower.. must have been worse this time.. dunno. It IS doing better. Just irritating mostly
