Wow.
Reading through this topic, I wasn't going to reply, seeing as how it went back to the summer. Seeing that some people replied to it a few weeks ago, however, I figured I'd throw in my memories.
I was really brought in to the RCT community when I found Danimation. I started playing the game when it first came out, and played solid up until 2004-ish. Then I started college, and all that free time I had went out the window...haha.
The first place I actually submitted anything was WOF. Worlds of Fantasy. In their huge collabo park, I was the person that did yeti, the flying coaster. That started my love of making things for others to see and comment on.
The first major place for me was the Station. I actually wound up as a moderator on the site a short while before it shut down. I always missed that site; while the communities have been great since, nothing else seemed to come close.
I started a club, RCTA (At this point I can't even remember what the A stood for...I think it was Advanced...lol), and left after I was invited to RCTM. I miss Kai and all those guys from that for sure.
I was around NE all the time, and actually (after just looking at it) still have a few parks up...most notably the one park I was proud of, Tinted Shores. It made NE Runner up, and, well, that was my highlight.
I almost forgot...I was a staff member here for a while
Had a hand in VP.
Looking back, I notice a lot of I's...haha. It's just fun to look back and think about the good times. There are so many names in this topic that I remember, and hopefully a few of you remember me as well. I'm sure I'll be checking back periodically, as I have done in the past (albeit quietly) to see how the RCT community is doing. Thinking about the number of hours I poured into this game make it, in an awkward sense, a part of how I grew up. All of this makes me want to pop in a RCT CD...lol
P.S - HAHA...after posting, I looked at my avatar, and low and behold, my old Tinted Shores avatar. Crazy.
