Metallus Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 That's right, folks. On the 15th of July, the Grim Fandango Network will have completed four long years of journeying from server to server, web address to web address, spreading the word of Grim Fandango. http://www.grimfandango2.com/archive-7-1998.php Go here to read the very first news post from the site's founder, ZeroXcape! Anyone have any fond memories to share? I'm interested in finding out how long people have been visiting the sites on the network. Also: I'm wondering if anyone has some ideas about what to do for the celebration (within reason). We've already got one big surprise planned, but we're always looking for some good suggestions.

Zaarin Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Well I became a passive regular sometime before feburary 2000. I suppose I started being active in about april/may when I ran my old GF site, and then obviously I joined GFC at about the end of june 2000, thats when I became very active. The GF scene has changed a lot since then, although granted I havent been much part of it for the last 6-9 months or so, countless new faces and webmaster changes, new sites and designs etc. Do you remember how everyone used to have full access to every other site on the GFN? Those were trusting days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xGrimx Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I 'think' I got into the GF scene (websites and all) late 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I think I must have been around since 1999, too. Like anyone cares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I bought my copy at a time when my computer was to slow to even play it then it sat in my drawer of games for well until I signed up, just recently. But this is the first time I have ever belonged to a board or form before and I must say that it is without a doubt the best form in cyber space. Just having people online on the 15th posting would be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Ah yes, the good old GFN. What would the past two months of my life have been like without it? I might have died, but I did not. Thus using my patented FUNDAMENTALIST MINDSET brand logic, I deduce that the GFN has saved my life! Thank you, GFN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isis Kaldara Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Birthday? Did you say "Birthday?" *Everyone gulps and suddenly, Isis breaks out thousands upon thousands of party favors, balloons, Yoo-hoos, confetti strands, snacks, and party stuffs. She jumps around, yelling:* HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GFN! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FROM ALL OF US TO YOU! WE WISH YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SO WE CAN PARTY TOO! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOPE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE! WE WISH YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SO WE CAN PARTY TOO! *She ignores all the comments about her having too much bubbly energy.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Eggplant Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Happy Excelsior! Everyone! 4 years in the land of the Dead. 4 Years of the Grim Fandango Network. 4 Years of the Grim Fandango forum. not that most newbies here such as myself can claim to remember; however in 4 years let us all celebrate the 8 years anniversary of the Grim Fandango Network, over hours of wonderful posts all talking about GF2 because by then Lucasarts will have seen the light and made a sequel for us all!

Metallus Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Ok, I've updated the main page. It's a day late, but I had a time conflict at my job on the 15th, and I ended up having to stay at work until 11pm . Anyway, check out the mainpage (http://www.grimfandango2.com), and feel free to leave a comment in the comments section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxbx Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 awesome updating, Metallus. I don't know if I should start a new topic for this, but I have a question for those who didn't start coming to the GFN four years ago. Where were you four years ago and what were your interests at the time? I think it's amazing that someone can keep up any site for four years, let alone a site about a game w/out a sequel. Incredibly inspiring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GendoTheGreat Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Where's this comments section you mentioned, Metallus? I can't see it anywhere. Mxbx, you should assign a new subject for your post, so we can respond to it. As far as your question goes, four years ago I was wondering how I was going to pay my rent and where my next meal was coming from. I've only had a proper computer for about two years and I've had the internet for roughly half that time. When I did get one the first thing I did was buy all the games I had heard so much about. (I had the money by then.) GF was one of them. Best 24 bucks I ever spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 It's right under the headline, Gendo, next to "Posted By: ....". Unfortunately, you've got to register a separate account for commenting. I wish I knew how to integrate the forums with the comments system.
