[Survey] How Did You Find PSU?

[Squeeky]

I found it with good old :google: back in November '02. I used the search term "PlanetSide" and bam, i fell in love.

Also post when you found it.

[I Hate Pants]

uhm...... yeah... I used..... yahoo.... PLEASE DONT KILL ME!

found site in late August or early September. Started visiting lounge in October.

[JetRaiden]

went on Planetside.com went on fan sites, and bam.

[Squeeky]

Oh, also post when you found it.

[Fragmatic]

uhm...... yeah... I used..... yahoo.... PLEASE DONT KILL ME!

Yahoo uses google... unfortunately, you lose because it's yahoo.

[I Hate Pants]

im a retard :doh:

[Squeeky]

yahoo uses google? :O

[SDM]

I found it after reading through the OFs, and thinking to myself 'Ok, these noobs are retarded'. I think I Googled it about the same time the game went retail. I didn't join PSU until well after that though.

[TheN00b]

Late August or early Septemberish found the site. Didn't start visiting lounge till like October.

Ditto's

[Jaged]

Way before open beta started, I looked at planetside.com's fan site section, and found this. A long ass time ago....

[1024]

I first heard about PS and starting posting like a n00bish little kiddie on the OF. Some guy told me to go to PSU.

Don't remember when.

[Fragmatic]

yahoo uses google? :O

Yup, powered by the same shiznit

[Spider]

Dear lord... I found it thanks to a friend of mine. Usually called Perfectwing on the TDS free Ultima online server he went by the name of LiquidTrix or something of the sort here. We were suposed to start an outift called TBWP (The bold wear purple).

He didnt stay and I did... people hate me and the feeling is mutual! :love:

[Derfud]

Way back when I was searching for an outfit on the OF, I heard of CDL from Vauss, so I went to the site, and put in an app, and Decided the best way to get into an outfit is become part of the community. I started posting on PSU when I realized that almost all the CDL members at that time frequented there. I think that was back in late 2002.

[martyr]

bliz sent me here, sept. 03

[arctik]

I found it with good old :google: back in November '03. I used the search term "PlanetSide" and bam, i fell in love.

Also post when you found it.

[Marsman]

A long time ago, in a place far far away,
my CDL clanmate Hamma told me he was thinking of starting a fansite for the game "Planetside".

"Whatside?"

And you all know the rest. :p :D :cool: :love:

[Corrosion]

Don't you mean Nov '02?

Anyway, EineBeBoP got me into PSU, right before I got into closed beta.

[sPooT]

About the same time as Squeeky, Nov 2002 (yeah he prolly made a little typo there ;) ). I have no clue how I found it thought, I was probably browsing the web for Planetside information and god I hated the fucking n00bs at www.planetside.info , what a bunch of retards. So anyways PSU owned and owns everything else :D

[Squeeky]

Meant '02 :p

[Squeeky]

HOLY SHIT ITS SPOOT


How ya been? Where ya been?

BTW, who here remembers the PSI drama? That shit was good shit :)

[Mr1337Duck]

Planetside.com

[Bighoss]

Back in the days 6 months before planetside was out I was looking for a better fan site than the offical one. Found PSU thought it was good, trolled for the first month, then troll lite the second, then I just went normal.

[sPooT]

HOLY SHIT ITS SPOOT


How ya been? Where ya been?

BTW, who here remembers the PSI drama? That shit was good shit :)

Lol Squeeks I haven't left al all, I'm just not much of a forum whore ;) Just noticed something funny, your post count is nearing the 8000 mark, mine is at 85 :D And appearantly we both joined at about the same date :)

Btw what is this PSI drama? I knew the site (as I mentioned) but I don't recall anything like a PSI drama, just that they don't seem to exist anymore.

[Squeeky]

PSU put them out of business.

PSI and PSU went at eachother's throats Early '03 around Beta time. And then PSI died and closed up shop after Release.

[AztecWarrior]

I saw Planetside Shuttle and was like "Wow. This site sucks." So I looked at the links. Guess which I clicked on?

[Everay]

i didnt know about this place, 1024 put it to my attention around the time he got grounded and couldnt get on his comp anymore, he was sooo lazy instead of typing out why on our outfit fourms, he just linked us to his farwell message here.

[THrONeBeaST]

Hamma posted about the site on the -CDL- website , registered and been around since 09-15-2002

Seen many things change and many people come and go :)

[Cyanide]

I just typed it in while searching for planetside websites. You can put in almost any popular game + "universe.com" and get something.

That was probably a few months before open beta.

[SDM]

Actually, I did a Google search for "HOT ASIAN MANSLAVES" and it shot me here.

[sPooT]

Actually, I did a Google search for "HOT ASIAN MANSLAVES" and it shot me here.
Oh fuck, now I remember.

[dscytherulez]

went on Planetside.com went on fan sites, and bam.

Same, found it somewhere around release of PS.

[Sputty]

Google. October 2002.

[mechaman]

found it using yahoo last year

[Onizuka]

A friend gave me the link before beta....and I wasn't interested. So he played beta...blah blah... then I got the game when it came out, remembered this site, and came here. :p

[Navaron]

Google, long ass time ago.

[FlakMan]

Someone in my outfit found the site some way or another and linked to something on here, and I've been here ever since

[1024]

If you can find that thread, +2 1024 points for you.

[Mag]

Hey, no it doesn't.

[SilverLord]

I came around July 03, I registered on my B-day.

I found the site from google i think.

[RasslinInc]

ViperGts, thats how

[FlakMan]

ViperGts, thats how

[Dharkbayne]

I first heard about PS and starting posting like a n00bish little kiddie on the OF. Some guy told me to go to PSU.

Don't remember when.

[Khronos]

read about PS in this old magazine...googled planetside or something..prolly found it on the official site

this was when planetside.com was a site for some planet thing and not the game.

[ViperGTS]

Well....I was looking around tribes2maps.com Came across a map called planetsidet2. look intreting so i down loaded it. Turns out it was a map the look just like to basses from planetside. I mean exact copies. On the loading screen the was a link to psu....so hey....why not click it.
(oh download that map...only the outsides look like ps...the insides are gay...)

[THrONeBeaST]

thats a cool map

We(-CDL-) played it one time in a scrim :)

[Fragmatic]

You must be thinking of the Terragen website @ http://www.planetside.co.uk

[Khronos]

You must be thinking of the Terragen website @ http://www.planetside.co.uk

not sure what exactly it was, but sony bought the domain name after a while.

[xmodum]

Way before open beta started, I looked at planetside.com's fan site section, and found this. A long ass time ago....
Same, but didnt join till last December

[Incompetent]

A post Hamma made on PSI way back when he had just opened up PSU.

[HawkEye]

i saw an article in gameinformer about PS. so i went to google and typed planetside. and a link for this site showed up and i clicked it. that was back in november 02 i think

[jsloan31]

No clue, think I googled it, though.

Oh yeah, link to that Planetside T2 thing.

http://www.tribes2maps.com/cgi-bin/map_detail.cgi?id=3304

O.o

[Baneblade]

I knew about it, but largely ignored it till lately...

Dun think I even reged till late beta...

[Rbstr]

Same as you squeeky and probably most other peopl did a google for planestide.

I saw the beta contest on your front page and manage to win, did post here though untill the summer sometime

[Kikinchikin]

Almost exactly 1 year ago (joined april 9th 2003), I was enthralled with PS, and wanted to learn more about it. Saw this site, looked atthe forums, started posting like a noob in the game discussion and viola.

[OneManArmy]

hell if i can remember, I think I went to that other planetside fansite that was around, what was it called....

and well those forums sucked ass found a link to here and teh rest is history. damned if i remember what day that was just look at when i joined if your so curious :p

[BigFreak]

Just before open beta, a mate was raving about how PS was gonna be so good, and we knew someone in closed beta. He put up the URL to PSU in IRC.

[UncleDynamite]

As with most of you, I Googled it last summer. I've been reading the forums since then, though started posting only recently.

[ultraviolet]

I first started reading over Squeeky's shoulder when he visited me last October (2003). Then I decided to join since it seemed like so much fun.

[hazzer2007]

Was looking for vidios for planetside on google, came up with psu.

[Hamma]

I think you all know how i found PSU :D

[321]

I just checked the offical site and saw a link to AGN and clicked it. Then I found out what AGN was and PSU and started to post.
Edit: This was in early August 2003.

[Ait'al]

I think you all know how i found PSU

NO, Do tell!! tehe

It was the first site i saw linked to Planetside.com sometime last july when they were adding PSU as the best or main fan site to planetside.

Dont you all just feel so lucky :D The power of advertising! :doh:

[TheRegurgitator]

back in early '03 when this sign was commonly used :wantbeta: good times good times

[Infernus]

I saw it listed on the official site way back... didn't join rigth away tho and haven't really been posting in the lounge for all that long...

[scarpas]

went on Planetside.com went on fan sites, and bam.

as i.

[Dharkbayne]

I think you all know how i found PSU :D

Google?

[BUGGER]

Found Planetside through some guys at a tribes 2 website, then later on someone (forgot who, someone who posts/posted here) gave the link to this site in december 02. I kept track of PS on the front page cause the SOE website never really got updated. Then i got onto the forums late january/early febuary (03) because i heard planetside was supposibly coming out around my birthday. Blew my hopes when it got pushed to March, then May.


And to show my devotation to PS, i have been playing since retail (never made into beta) with a crappy aol 56k dialup connection.

[Neon Apocalypse]

i did the planetside fansite thing.....it think....dont remember this was back in may or april

[xmodum]

I was raping Electro while he foung it, I followed.

[Squeeky]

I think you all know how i found PSU :D

How? :confused:

[Dharkbayne]

In other news, Terragen is fucking awesome.

[Mag]

What's that thingy do?

[Dharkbayne]

Lets you create realistic landscapes, I used it for about 5 minutes and I made this

http://www.neosith.com/fancymountain.jpg

[Mag]

Whoa.

[worldvengence]

[Dharkbayne]

Yeah, it's 2.9 MB and insanely easy to use, get it,

[Mag]

But what do I need it for? That's the real question.

[JetRaiden]

Yeah, it's 2.9 MB and insanely easy to use, get it,

:linkme:

[I Hate Pants]

Yeah, it's 2.9 MB and insanely easy to use, get it,

perhaps you'd like to share with us the link you'd got it from?

[Mag]

www.planetside.co.uk

[Salazar]

Learned about PSU the same way Squeeky did (think I searched Yahoo though). I searched in February or March and didnt start posting on the forums till I got into Exclusive Beta back in April.

[JakeLogan]

I've been here long enough to forget how I found it.
