[TNTGODZZ]

this will be just a basic rant page on the mass amounts of noobs that have joined these forums over the last couple of monhts. participation is for those who were here prior to .13 (.12 or further back.) i would like people to just type 'i was there' if this is the case.

i was there at 0.09

[Charzy]

I was here before struts, ASAS, planes, the orbital map, the vertical speed indicator going above 20, plugins, smart staging, symmetry, bouyancy, proper water, the KSC\'s improvements, the Mun, Minmus, good terrain, planetary rotation, the removal of the mines on the dark side of Kerbin etc.

[mincespy]

I joined I think around the time of 0.10.

[iamwearingpants]

I was here before all of you :b

[Guest]

I got KSP before .13

[LukeTim]

I first got KSP just after 0.8...

I might be wrong... but AFAIK 0.8 was the first version generally available to the public.

Someone who\'s been here longer will no doubt correct me.

My list is the same as Charzy\'s though... I remember the time before all of that stuff.

[Charzy]

I remember the good old days. An orbit back than was an achievement, and one that was hard to get too. You also had to wait like an hour to know if you got it right, because we didn\'t have time warp.

Your ships either had to be over 50% SAS modules, or you had to be a god at flying. The atmosphere had a hard ending of

35 000 KM, and no atmos gague either. If your rocket was too big, it simply didn\'t fly because there were no struts to keep it from flopping to bits.

Oh, and you had two choices of engine. Either the unvectored liquid, or the solid. That was it. Solids were unsuable because symmetry didn\'t exist and you had to do everything by eye, and if something was just one pixel off mark then your whole rocket would just list over in flight.

I was here at 0.9 methinks. There was grass and trees, but no SAS, timewarp, Mun, Mac version, struts, yada yada.

[Grove]

I was here before the time warp and atmosphere gauge, tough I don\'t remember which version it was.

[Charzy]

I was here at 0.9 methinks. There was grass and trees, but no SAS, timewarp, Mun, Mac version, struts, yada yada.

We had SAS before 0.9, it was ASAS that was new.

[Kryten]

I was here with 0.8, apparently same as most people here. I think that\'s when it started to go viral.

[ping111]

We had SAS before 0.9, it was ASAS that was new.

Derp, that\'s what I meant.

[Millst0ne MK II]

I was here before HarvestR

I was here at 0.8.5!

The good old days.

[Jon Tash]

I was lurking here since 0.9.

[JupiterII]

I first played the game in 0.8.5 but only joined the forums around 0.10.

[Polecat Industries]

Here at around 0.8.5

[Tosh]

Wha... I suck. I\'ve started with 0.10

Though *cough cough* I cannot call those old days 'good'. Modern times are much more interesting . Ye know, proper planes, two moons, advanced orbit display, plugin programming...

...and me being The Moderator 8)

[Key of door]

0.7.3 was the first public release. (I think)

Water was solid, if you flew over 400km , you wouldn\'t come back down. We had no time warp, so orbits were much longer , and we only dreamt of a Mun.

[LaydeeDem]

Ah, the days of no symmetry. I remember when Sunday Punch and SIDR were the big mod packs, and Sunday Punch had these huge spherical cheat part tanks. Also, I didn\'t know how to use SAS and I only used SRBs.

[Cthulufaic]

I was here I think around v10, definitely before the Mun was put in I think.

[flying_chair]

I joined I think around the time of 0.10.

Same.

[Johno]

I remember the landmine-studded dark half of the planet. KEEP YOUR DOG OFF MY LAWN.

And also . . .

I remember last time this thread came around. Whipper snappers.

[Charzy]

Heh, I remember those fuel tanks. I always called them 'The Orange', because they looked like a sort of metal fruit.

[boyercam]

I joined at 0.14.4

[Cepheus]

I\'ve been around since 0.8.5. Joined the forums November 1. Version 11.1 was out then. I wanted to have an excellent first post, so I was waiting for the right time.
