I was talking to PnG and it dawned to me that I don't know where a lot of people came from or how they became part of this community.
So the question, how did you find this place, meet grits, become an admin(if one)?
I'd like everyone to participate if possible, I like hearing stories.
Guess I'll start though I'm not good with time.
I started off playing cs in my 10th grade c++ course. When finished with projects or had free time, we would play either CS or HL. It was about a 6 person lan. Anyway I fell in love with half-life dm so I bought the collectors pack that came with hl expansions, cs, tfc, etc. So I was playing cs and hl for awhile. I discovered playing those games on 56k kinda sucked so I looked through the mods list of hl and saw ricochet. Installed it and joined I believe an arena server first. Got bored and joined another. A few servers/days later I joined XvSeveredvX's server. DM:D. Where I met Dragonlady, yoshi, troublgrl, Thrice, el Kabong, beebz, and of course who can forget the [CAKE]'s.
Played there for awhile and even got admin there. Towards the end of Severed's server me and yoshi started a clan [PIMP](Don't ask) but it was aimed to be a joke. Then DL and myself started a clan [DTC].
After Dragonlady crashed Severed's server a few times:D. I joined GRITS' multimap rico server. Then Severed got xbox and shut his server down perm. I got DSL somwhere after sevs server went down. So I kept playing on grits' server. I saw an address on the server and went to the website. I was clicking some links and must have clicked an IRC link because I joined vads channel so I idled there for a bit. After awhile GRITS asked me if I would like admin since I was helping to keep the server clean by reporting players.
I helped whenever I could with the servers by modifying plugins/reffing for DM tourney and such and after awhile I was 'promoted' to Senior Admin when grits started captains. Which brings us to today.
I met snowdawg in Evil_admins server and I just couldn't get rid of him, he would follow me around :P. Everyone else in DTC besides DL, I met through GRITS.
There you have it.
