Hey everyone,
Its just gone 2:29am as I start writing this.
Ive been sorting out my itunes for hours and just though Id check out evo-web. After a quick post I noticed the 'member joined' date on my profile...Oct 2001...Holy Shit! Thats years ago! Thats 5 years 3 months ago!
A bit stunned I started thinking back to when this all started, you know...Evo-Web. The people who were here, the members, what I was doing in my life and my experiences with everyone.
What Im trying to do here to get people to post there fondest memories on this page, and their take on the years gone by spend going through this amazing forum.
I dunno how else to present my take on 5 years, but I'll try my best to snippet each piece:
1) Being one of the first members of Evo-Web along side Mart and Cwright. After responding to an email request trying to find contributors to this place I became a reviewer and Mod. Being in awe of the main chief back then called Alex(?). Young genius who made this place, but regrettedly we never got on.
2) With this new found power managed to blag Konami PR to send me a copy of the firt PES on PS2. Got it 3 weeks before release. Supposed to do an exclusive review for the site but 'overplayed' the game. Review done for the release day instead :p
3) Lost mod ability after pulling a dissapearing act. Not my fault, fam problems
4) I went through this faze of trying to promote the site. I created flyers and poster that I put in Game, and even tried to create a magazine. I remember starting a thread asking people whether they wanted it to be on nice paper making it more expensive, or crappy paper making it cheap. Jeeeeeeeez!
5) Heres the important part: started meeting people on here that I started to respect and listen to.
I remember when ClassicD had his own PES/WE news site, and Larsson was always in avatar (nice to see it back). Classic always knew his stuff and schooled a lot of us.
I remember when ThomasGoal came on here with news before anyone else. Still does
I remember how PLF used to be before his modding days. How he had Tristan in his avatar.
I remember how I first met Jack Bauer. Those days were probably the most memorable experiences Ive had on here. We became very good friends, back when he was a keen modder and had a different user name. Its unfortunate we're not as close as we used to be, but I still smile when I read his posts on here.
I remember when Kel used to make kits on here. We had Cigman making faces too.
I remember when Hutch did all those drawings of people. really cool stuff.
To this day CWright has been a gentlman everytime I chat to him. For that I thank you.
There plenty more guys on here that Ive met but really cant remember their usernames. I love you all :d
Im sure what Ive written looks like a mess as Im now shattered, but I just wanted to share with you guys my experiences on this wonderful forum. Im gonna add to this now again when I remember some more stuff.
But please, anyone feel free to contribute and post their experiences.
