Most Memorable moment: Now that I look back on it, the saviour joke has to be the most memorable moment of my time here.

I can't think of much else, at the moment. I'll edit if I do.

First Park Download: Whatever the spotlight was at the time. It was only like the second or third one up, I believe.
How you found the community: I just searched for Rollercoaster Tycoon, and low and behold the first result was Danimation.com. I browsed around for a few days before actually registering. I remember the only reason I registered in the first place was because there was a thread that really pissed me off and I felt the need to argue.
First sites you reguarly browsed: Danimation, RCT: Real Parks (this site was the shit), Surreal Designs Inc. (Yes, I was a fan, Raven), and then finally New Element.
Most Memorable Moment(s): Hmmm...I remember talking on AIM to SAC and LAA alot back then. I never really talked to Joe but me and SAC were pretty tight I guess. FOO is up there on memorable moments, all the Blaze Battles are memorable, and believe it or not I actually had a park that was supposed to be spotlight on RCPro but the site went down for a few weeks and my computer crashed and I lost the whole entire thing (I know what your thinking, "Outlaw you actually made a park?" Yes.) Let's see...I remember Joe releasing IOA and looking at it for literally an hour and a half because my family had just returned from there the week before. I don't remember any of the iris/Dan beef because I left RCT and the community for a year before returning to D-Net and later moving to NE. Then I got here, and me and iris got into it over some registered names that he thought were mine but weren't due to similar IP addresses or something, I don't know. I remember the month that RCTKru was my favorite website. For those of you that don't know, RCTKru was the site that SAC, Joe, and Liquid Crash started when they were collectively banned from D-Net. They would post updates once a week on their park projects and I remember going there and checking the progress EVERY night, even though they only updated once a week. But that's about it, I believe.

Good times.

EDIT: Also the time that Tyler6975, or whatever the numbers were, copied like half of SAC's Lake Claire and changed parts up a little bit and claimed it as his own. LMAO shit was classic.

EDIT #2: Everyone thinking Iris was a girl. Ha.

Most Memorable moment: Well fuck, nothing from my D-Net days as Tyler24 or Original Prankstah, that's for goddamn sure. Probably the summer nights at 1 AM sitting in the New Element chatroom making fun of Turtleman's weight, or something.

First download not from Rollercoastertycoon.com: I think it may have been Mountain Town, or Hershey Park. I cannot remember.
How you found the community.... It was search engines. Danimation was always the first to show up, I began lurking, and soon registered.
First sites you reguarly browsed... It was Danimation, and that was all. I remember visiting chocobogo's, and RCTUK. Now, I visit NE, and Flux'D. I also visited Tyler Reeves "CoasterGames" site. That was an awesome site. For NoLimits, that was the place to be.
Most Memorable moment: There are many memorable moments for me...

1. The "I GOTTA BIG FAT....." Topic, Danimation
This was an epic thread. It started when the new danimation started, at the mid-end of 2002. Me, rebeltorumble, and chrisreyn64 went on a wild spamming spree. At the time there was another thread at the site called "The Longest Thread of All Time(something like that)", which had been going for a few weeks. Within the course of around two or three days of being created, the new "I GOTTA BIG FAT....." thread surpassed the "Longest Thread of All Time" by a few hundred posts... Me and chris had around 600 posts each. It was crazy.

2. Winning Unofficial Danimation Awards
This was a big thing for me. I think I had three awards, when these ceremony took place. I won Best Signature, Best Graphics Artist, and "Most Useless Spammer(thanks to the work done in the "BIG FAT" thread)". Good times were had, indeed.

3. Obtaining Irises Password and Causing Massive(not really) Havok
Well, after Stupid Git started his website(Free-Radical, ofcourse), we were talking, and he gave me access to the administration zone. I decided to check out the passwords. There were many renouned members there(yes, iris), and I decided to check if the passwords worked on other forums where these people were registered. In the case of iris, it worked. I was promptly banned(the name was Mister Toshio, back then). After kissing some ass(mmm) I was allowed back on under the circumstance that I would be on sort-of a "zero-tolerance" thing.

Later(about 2 years later), I tried irises old pass in the chat. It worked. That night was the NE Awards, and I had stayed after the chat for a post chat, of sorts. Well, it was just me and Git, and some random people. I mocked iris by disabling voices and announcing the awards, however, with different winners. Funny shit.

Well, that's about it. It's been a long time.

oh, this is bringing back many memories.

anywho, i do remember the "First RCT Site" that Gutterflower brought up, and loved it. what a great site, for it's day, anywho. also, i do believe the Cedar Point replication i was talking about was by a Greg Reese, or some-thing similar, but i could be wrong.

so, um, uh, yeah...

this is making me nostalgic, very nostalgic. yay!

[Stupid Git] gave me access to the administration zone. I decided to check out the passwords. There were many renouned members there, and I decided to check if the passwords worked on other forums where these people were registered.

And Kiri was all pissed that I used a different password... hahaha, I never trust any passwords on UBBs

How I found the site: When my favorite roller coaster site of all time, "Thrillride" closed, it left a link to the affiliate, Thrillnetwork (Called Coasterforum back then, I believe). I started to get involved in the Premier Parks contests over there, but would constantly hear about the new site New Element from people like Natelox and Elrocko. As my ambition grew, I decided to give the NE Spotlight a shot and have been hooked on this site ever since.
First sites I visited: TN, then I branched off to some other sites (including Danimation) in search of a great contest where I could really put my work to the test before I finally came to rest at NE.
Most Memorable Moment: None in particular really, but those long days where I had sent in a park to a contest and was waiting for the results (which were always posted many days after it was said that they would be posted) come to mind.

Skeg's (before I knew what forums where

Skeggs! I totally forgot about that site, but that was my very very first one, lol.

That place was odd.

They had that one person named Joan or something building like 7 coaster parks a day.

Good times.
