Anyone Remember B3D Way Back When....
How many folks here remember having to put disclaimers on the thread titles for large images, because broadband wasn't widespread.
Or when the first Voodoo cards hit and the boards here were ablaze? Let alone any tech from 3Df/x Or the threads on the Bitboys Glaze 3D chip with it's embedded RAM. Man, I think I've been on these boards since forever (granted I don't remember my original handle on here) it seems. Though I was dual bagging handles between this one and everyone's favorite: diarrhea_splatter. Anyone else feel the nostalgia of the Beyond 3D boards?

Go back into the archives to around 2003 or so... Check out the names of all the people who are no longer active here.
 Where did they all go, and why?

Some are still here, but more in a lurking mode, and some others are too busy working on their current projects to even lurk.

I think I've been fairly active at B3D since 98 or 99.

I've been here since 2000ish. My previous account locked me out (password started being wrong one day) and was merged with this account somehow. I moved here from 3dgpu.com which was previously nv10.net (the first "geforce" chip). I found that site from the back of a magazine in '99, when I had to use the internet at college as I didn't have a connection at home. The internet was £1 / 5mins for personal use, but I was so poor I couldnt afford it. I used to be able to get on for 15 mins after everyone had gone home, if I helped the librarian clean up the library at the end of the day. Thus was my love affair with the net born. I moved out of my parents house when I was 18 and still in college, just to get a net connection (they were against it at the time). So, B3D has a special place in my heart as being (probably) the longest running site I've visited, ever.
My fondest memory back then was of the KYRO II, which was the little card that could(nt do TnL). |

You guys are the reason I dropped 80.000 drachmas for that voodoo monster, (or was it Voodoo II, I cant remember)
Used to lurk back then, until curiosity got the best of me, and at some point, I decided to learn what that RPSC thread I kept hearing was about.
