History of gamespy/[GSF]
1/10/05 3:53pm
Alright, as you can probably tell, i am one curious george. What im interested i knowing, is when did the gamespy forums first go up? Who were the original creators? Who was first put in charge?
As for the clan, who started clan GSF? I saw in the archives that shai moved the forums to its official space, so where did the forums used to be located? I also saw an old thread about the clan being disbanded. When and why did that happen? I read the first page or so, and it seemed like many people agreed. So what was the outcome?
I will apologize in advance for the annoyance of my numerous questions.

Even though you're a total loser, I'll answer your questions.
The GameSpy Forums opened on the date in my /gamespy profile, 2/28/2001. The original creators were GSI guys... various people were/are responsible for various parts, like Tetsuo, MadDipper, and shaithis. shaithis ran the forums until he left GSI, and since then it's technically been run by EvilHomer, who actually does jack shit.
Clan [GSF] was started by... some real old regulars. I don't remember exactly who were the first members, but I believe Eccentric was one, DarkFlow? I think LDL joined shortly after. It's been a looong time. Back then it just used the regular forums at /gamespy. Eventually shaithis created a [GSF] section there too, but evil GSI lobby groups forced us out.
The clan was 'disbanded', or rather, everyone submitted to a revote. Long story short, a bunch of people were voted out, a bunch were kept in, blah blah blah, we're here. Now fuck off.

I resent that. Thanks though for taking the time to answer them.

I think DarkFlow, SJ Sathanas, and Eccentric were the original three. LDL may be traded out for one ofthem, I don't quite remember.

I know CtL was visiting NZ when [GSF] was started, he had flashbacks about it, and you couldn't mention NZ around him for a while there...even now I think he has problems...

Yes, I recall leaving amidst the aftermath of the Sock Wars (which despite what Kingthing may say, we won), and coming back to find this curious tag which all my forum friends had placed under their name. So I did too, after I got permission.
New Zealand had very nice scenery. It was just too much driving in the car with the family... crap. I can't believe that was only a few months short of
4 years ago

I know I did. I could feel eyes watching the back of my head every day in Auckland.
