I'm thinking it was '96 or 7. It's getting difficult to remember clearly back that far so don't quote me on that.

They are next to your walker which is in the bathroom by your metamucil.

I'm not sure when AGN started. I know I came in at the tail end of it. I believe I read a post by FlyingPenguin that helped me and was hooked.

sadly, the wayback machine doesn't have entries prior to '98 for agn3d.com. i know i joined in '98 because it was following the release of starcraft.

I learned about AGN through Anand's site when he first started when he was only 14 yrs old. I forget the type of forum format that he used back then, but he was always on line talking about hardware, and how his parents were a little mad because his closet was full of pc hardware he was testing. LOL. That was back in 96.

In 97, I built my first PC with the help of the few guys in Anand's site and that is when I found out about AGN due to gaming. To bad no one every kept some of the threads as some were really funny.

AGN was definitely '98 because that was the year we moved into this house, now 12 yrs ago and most of us were building a PC with an overclocked C300a cpu.

yea, I think AGN was good stuff. I found them threw voodooextrem...back when it was good.

Crap, now we're REALLY going back. I started moderating on Voodoo Extreme when they offered to host my Quake 3D FAQ website along with 3Fingers's OpenGL Tweak guide. We both moderated there answering 3D tech questions for years. Then VE changed hands and we moved to AGN with a bunch of other peeps and 3Fingers and I setup our own websites with our own hosts so we wouldn't get shuffled around again.

BTW: My site's still up. I keep it up because as far as I know it's the only place you can find the Quake transparent water VIS patch and VIS data files. I tried taking it down a few years ago to save space on my server and got a flood of emails asking me to put it back up. Apparently there's still people out there playing Quake. LOL!

GAAAH! I just looked at that page and fried my eyeballs. Holy garish Web 1.0 designs Batman! Did I REALLY code that page?
