fireguy109 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Happy 1000th post for me! My story goes back to some time in late 2009 or early 2010. I bought GTA III for PS2 from GameStop. I brought it home and played for days. Around August I was looking at cheat videos on YouTube and spied Odie’s bridge mod. I fell in love with modding on the spot. I bought the PC version off Amazon and it got here right before school started. My first post was less than glamorous. It was actually on GTAgarage, but I had to register through GTAF. I asked a guy who had a beta bus mod where it spawned- I thought it was outright added. Then my first GTAF post was a n00b 3 year bump. Pretty bad. I dumped GTAF for a while, and then came back a few months later. I started asking questions and providing the odd answer. Then I randomly hit this “hate everybody” phase, bashing topics etc. Only lasted a while, luckily, but it was ugly. Then I got into “helpful” mode. I was making lots of posts, sometimes 15 a day. I tried to dominate the “III era modding section” and have my name beside almost every post, whether I was helpful or bumping or not. I started posting a couple skins to GTAgarage. One got taken down. I got my first communication with PatrickW, he was really helpful and understanding. I PM’d him later that night because I had found a stolen mod on GTAgarage. He gave me my first cookies and thumbs up. I mostly stuck to the III era modding and III sections after that, gradually losing my cockiness. Then one time I ventured into General Chat and ended up in the “How do you view the United states?” topic. Now, I do a lot of debating and arguing, but I (and I hate this) have to admit that HolyGrenadeFrenzy and dog_day_sunrise kicked my ass. I tip my hat to them as very good debaters, even if I don’t agree with their views. I guess that's what makes the world go around, though. I eventually taught myself coding with BW’s mission builder. After a couple of helpful answers in III coding, I got my first respect list, from a guy named S.Partrick. He soon got banned. This was when I first heard about Jimmy. If anybody has ever gone through the “The NightTime Trilogy, Episode I: Liberty City Nights” topic in the mod showroom they know about Jimmy. He’s a 14 year old guy who has had about 20-odd accounts, each of them banned. He’s so desperate that he keeps making new ones, even pretending to be a woman. Everybody hates him because he steals others’ work. AlexLB showed me that the guy who gave me my respect list entry was really another Jimmy! Fast forward a week or two. I have joined OmeXr in the war against Jimmies, started my own Total Conversion mod, and gotten back into General Chat. Every time I see topics like the “Euro meet”, “YouTube idiot”, and the replies in my own “need advice” topic, I get an even bigger respect for all you guys out here on the forums. I have disagreed/fought with many of you, like zzcool and Deji, but I still respect you. GTAF is the greatest invention since the Internet. That's my story up to February 25th. Lately I've been spending more time in this section, and I've been socializing with other members a bit more. Which brings me to... the respect list! Andrew- I've gotten warnings from him, true, but I believe he is a fair admin and he's a cool guy. Plase unlock the member photos topic though! I'm sorry we spammed it! illspirit- an amazing modder and a good admin, from what I know of forum history. STM- really cool admin, because he acts like an normal guy. Plus his uploader has saved me several times. Waddy- I dunno why some people hate him, but I think he's a cool and just admin. Mark- funny, cool, and a good moderator. PatrickW- great moderator- see above for some reasons why! Girish- cool moderator, and he only needs 163 posts to top the boards for all time (Link) *MURDOC* Icarus Craig Ryan sivispacem Warlord. pcguytech_2005 Odie- Rest in peace, you were the best modder ever Cerbera- a great modder and handling expert. Too bad he left before I could talk to him. Narcis_speed6- amazing GFX artist, fellow GTAF-Steam admin, and helpful and nice member. Drift-Kingz- one of the people here I would call a friend. Really cool, great GFX artist, and another fellow admin. κενιη tripmills- definitely one of the coolest old dudes here. LithiuM meta187 Typhus gamesguru Unrated69 Butters 2011 Voodoo makeshyft - Sorry I acted like a dick in that "things you bought" topic (Dare I say it?) cidamelo- good for a laugh, but overall a pretty cool and fun member Wreckless Jake ZAZ The_siggi bammargera Craig gta3kuruma miromiro Spider-Vice Adler spaceeinstein Wesser Barton Waterduck - in his time, he was the best coder ever to grace the forums (and maybe still is) TheCacti Mr.Mister okei If there's anyone else I forgot, you know who you are. I'll probably remember a bunch more in 5 minutes, so it will be updated. Now, on topic... or ? EDIT: BTW I'm gonna be camping all weekend, so this may not be updated. Basically everyone here has my respect. Edited June 26, 2011 by fireguy109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
