MicronianDevil Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I hate to say it, I found MW by way of RT.com. I'm searching the net because I saw an ad for Toynami's Masterpiece. I preordered through Valkyrie-Exchange, and through Valkyrie-Exchange, I found MW. So I guess I've been here since a year before the first MP of crap came out. I was a member of RT.com way before I found this board. In fact I signed up for RT.com before the site was fully up and running. It just said Robotech.com with a "Coming Soon" banner. And now that I think about it I think I found MW around that time because I remember pre-ordering the Toycom Macross Plus Valkyries from Valk-Exchange. (How long ago was that? 2000? 2001?) But I guess I didnt bother to sign up to this board till June of 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingNor Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 i found MW after RT.com banned me for asking why veritechs were called valkyries sometimes. amazing what a hair trigger those guys were on sometimes. Anyway i'm MW for life, if there is a macross world in 4 years, i'll be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Wow...six years have passed? I feel really old now. I actually discovered MW and RT.com at the same time, and I attended the first four MW Conventions (2001-2004). Throughout those years, I've been fortunate to have personally met Shawn, Egan Loo, MilkManX, Blackaces, Seiichi, Solscud007, otaku-smeghead, xstoys, >EXO<, Commander McBride, 1st Border Red Devil, MEMO1DOMINION, among others. I missed the last two MW Cons, but I hope to see you guys in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Well, I lurked until May 02. And I've pretty much only lurked occasionally in the last year or so. So really it's more like 4 years active duty, 2 years inactive. But it's still my longest commitment to date. Next to the old lady, of course.

EXO Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Been around since alt.fan macross, posted under this name and a bunch of others (I posted so infrequently I could never remember my name). I made some friends a long time ago here, there was this kid who went to Columbia B school, and another guy who was a JAG lawyer in NY. Also remember Yoshi, Rick the Hunter, and Rosario Love. I don't see any of those guys around anymore unless they are using different names. Rosario was posting under the name 'redemption' for a while. I found this place from his site.

tom64ss Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Rosario was posting under the name 'redemption' for a while. I found this place from his site. I found it from his site too. His and kidkorrupt's. The old forum had been around for about 2 years when I stumbled upon it. I remember the change over being rough. I was among a bunch of people over at Valkyrie Exchange forum getting our fix because MW was down for a few days. I left for two year when I moved. I lurked every once and a while, but all my Macross stuff was in storage 1800 miles away and being here would make me jealous. I have been back in the last few week. It's funny how nothing has really changed (except everyone's a Mod now ). It's like walking into my favorite local bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
