lol, I thought WON was played over SIGS. Or are you talking about that client thing.

BlackBox · « **Reply #51 on:** April 08, 2004, 08:12:10 AM »

SIGS was before WON..... It stood for Sierra Internet Gaming System.

I guess they must have decided they wanted a newer system so they upgraded to WON.... World Opponent Network it means. And that was upgraded thru the update system in the SIGS DLLs.

I never got to use SIGS... by the time I decided to see what it is, they were using WON.

I only played like 2 games on WON.

I played on WON while there would still be 100-150 people on at any one time, sometimes quite a bit more. I remember back in the when you could actually find a good game and that no one would cheat. The WON started falling apart and I would get on and be the only one on for hours at a time.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted. We all had good times, right guys?

How many here are from the NHCS? There I was #4, at the end. In first was KevinAr18, he does not post anymore. Ezekel was #2. He doesn't post at this forum if anywhere. The person in third was Betaray, and he is here.

I know this is an old quote, but still.

I posted 1 thread at the NHCS's old UBB (yes, the UBB), under the name "PsycoManiac101". I was probably 9 or 10 at the time.

I talk to Kevin often on AIM now.x

As for WON, I unfortunately started using it when it began to fall apart. I heard that part of the reason it fell apart was because of the use of the "Dan's" cheats. Just a few months after I started using it, it showed the message that the server would be gone on September 2, 2002.
...
OP2 has already been at its peak... it is slowly declining now.

over my dead body! (well, one of them, lol)

seeing as we are getting some new players, maby it will have a second climax, like many good books do.

Sammyk · « **Reply #56 on:** May 09, 2004, 07:15:16 PM »

how many dead bodies do you have???

CK9 · « **Reply #57 on:** May 09, 2004, 07:51:13 PM »

How many lives have I lived?

Sammyk · « **Reply #58 on:** May 09, 2004, 10:00:47 PM »

1 that i no of. haha

Phantom · « **Reply #59 on:** May 10, 2004, 11:27:15 AM »

lol. Yah, WON. Good times, good times. Even though I only got to play one game, it was still good times. lol.

After that I played a couple modem games with my friend, and that was about it for multiplayer (cuz he got board of it. :'( )

So I would just play the single missions over and over again. Then I cam across this forum a couple of months ago, and I am closer to playing multiplayer. But not much closer though. lol.

Sammyk · « **Reply #60 on:** May 10, 2004, 03:08:55 PM »

And so it goes on... there were many battles between the admins... xfir vs. hacker and levi... Well if you are here you know who won

Everything seemed like its going to be smooth but today, the 20th/21th of March, 2005, op.xfir.net, opu.xfir.net and 312productions.xfir.net closes down.
Shortly: xfir - dropped.

Leviathan · « **Reply #66 on:** March 20, 2005, 09:24:00 PM »

and rises the new domain

OUTPOST-UNIVERSE.NET

enjoy ur stay.

PlayingOutpost0-24 · « **Reply #67 on:** March 20, 2005, 09:25:25 PM »

Happy end

For the newsa admins... :/

Mez · « **Reply #68 on:** March 21, 2005, 11:49:25 AM »

Depends which side you are looking at it from

Nightmare24148 · « **Reply #69 on:** March 21, 2005, 10:11:18 PM »

Hmmm too bad the rift happened...

Hopefully Xfir'll come along here one day...then we can be one again...I mean cmon were a small community as it is...

^_^

spirit1flyer · « **Reply #70 on:** March 21, 2005, 10:17:07 PM »

I don't think he will come back

jesusfreak06 · « **Reply #71 on:** March 21, 2005, 10:40:57 PM »

i don't agree with this whole switch the aadministrators thing.. it's not fair to xfir, who's the one who started this forum, ESPECIALLY since he didn't do nefing, lev and hacker just got power hungry.. and look what they did to poor xfir, oo, this annoys me..

Drakmar · « **Reply #72 on:** March 21, 2005, 11:04:03 PM »

I don't agree either. I think that no one should be backstabbed like that. Xfir trusted Lev and Hacker, and look what they did to him! I don't think they are very trustworthy anymore.

Oprime · « **Reply #73 on:** March 22, 2005, 02:29:20 PM »

Ok, I'm trying to keep on my mind open on this one.

First of all, there might have been a possibility that it could have been done a little bit more smoothly. But... you have to remember that xfir was already growing tired of running the site and most likely would have deleted it before putting it under the control of another person. I'm really not on anybody's side on this 1 (trying to stay out of the line of fire) but I'll tell you it most likely wouldn't have been as easy as a switch as it was.

I've been in the forums long enough to know that xfir was getting tired of adding and trying new things, editing new posts, and generally looking at all the forums. So it seemed to me as if xfir didn't really care about the forums anymore. Might also have been that xfir's dream of a site had succeed and he just lost a lot of the interest he had before once his dream was “done”.

Thanks for the input. As I said in the forum move thread, we wernt 100% ready to move when we did. But it was gonna happen anyway. We knew people would be anoyed, we knew people wouldnt agree. So we couldnt win,
Dont move = dont get what we think the community wants/needs, offend noone.
Move = get what community wants/needs, offend people.
We did what we though the community wants/needs.
Only time will tell if we were right.
