cwa. when you say!

[codemonkey]

when was cwaboard formed. curious because shouldent we throw a birthday party or something every year?

[Beast]

Coffey, will you do the honours?

[coffeycup]

Ok don't remember exactly. It must've been late '98 or early '99.

So I guess it's about 7+ years now!

It was Beast, Napalm-X and myself what got it started, people had to have a Carma site and were required to have rotating banner script that would point to other member sites.

we went through I don't know how many cgi bulletin board scripts and various domains trying to get something that worked the best.

i sence that some really down putting coment is about to come. this cant be good. kick, ban! oh no paranoya rising. going to scream... cant scream drowing in own worrying sweat.... dead.

[Beast]

Coffey man, your age is getting to you.

It was you and Napalm-X that started it. I came along for the ride, at least a year or two AFTER you started the whole shebang.

And the CWA was started in 1997, if not earlier.

How old is Coffey?

[Vermilionvirus]

yeah, i got c2 right around when it first came out and i remember seeing some sorta cwa icons on carmageddon sites.... It's amazing how sucessfull this game has been, if only the dudes who made the game could see.

[coffeycup]

couldn't been earlier 'n 97. C1 came out in '97

and I think it was the frustations we were having on the old CFC board

that prompted creating a new one. (look which one is still here - )

C'mon you were in it early, too.

[K@VeRa]

I believe Coffey is like that guy from HELLBOY movie,(KROENEN was the name)the german robot alike fella...(no he´s not NAZI)...he is preserved and such thing,with a nice rotating swords and all...but i dont recall if he still have that clock thing on his chest...

well...most of us here is mutated or modified in some way...thats wthe way we are...a bunch of mutations with a own board to trow ideas...i think...

[TheJabMan]

It occurs to me that I've been here for 4 years. And that really makes me wonder where the hell 4 years went. It feels like 2 years max.

[ApeX__]

lol, i was here before you Jab??

[Beast]

Just did some checks - yeah, Carmageddon came out in early 1997, Splat Pack was out in November 1997 (I'm looking at the poster right now). So I'd say that the CWA Board was here in mid to late 1997.

And it was in response to Mark's Carmageddon.com board - he wouldn't let other people post links to their sites, and their work on it.

And I joined at least a year after the CWA was started - I'm absolutely sure. I remember the board was offline for some reason, I e-mailed you about it and nagged, and you said I should do something about it. That's when we moved to the Gamers.com forums.

Damn, it's been ages.

i have emailed them countless times. they never reply or anything.

[coffeycup]

I'm sticking closer to my original dates

I'm looking at my very first carma file the "meatwagon" skin for grimm, it has a time stamp of 2/16/1998.

I was on a mac then and everything was released a little later than the PC version.

I think I played the demo for months before I bought the full game CD, so maybe mid '98 when CWA started.

[Dark Angel]

ahh the good ol' cwa logo, how i miss you.

[C2 Scientist]

Well, it looks like a cap of a soda bottle viewed from above... heh.

[codemonkey]

yeah your right. god you have all been here for 4 years and stuff. me since october!

[Dark Angel]

lot longer than 4 years most of us.

[ApeX__]

im not sure, but i think i joined in 1999, or 2000

[Dark Angel]

I was here a couple months before the splat pack came out, under a different name back then...

[Morbid Angel]

I'm here since July 2005 ...

I could have been here a lot before but I didn't have the net.

So I didn't know that there was such a great carma community !

I'm a carma fan since carma1 ... I searched it for months since I discovered the demo.

When I saw it in a shop, i was ready to make a bank attack to buy it !
