Re: How Did You Find This Place?
Hmm, good question! I would have found Totalwar.org a few months or so before STW's release, having read a preview & played the demo, when looking for more info on the game. I can't remember if I used a search engine or a link from another site. Probably a search. If it was indeed a search, I imagine I would have used Google, as that became my primary search engine sometime in 1999.
The site looked quite different back then, with quite a lot of content on the website itself. IIRC, I don't think I even ventured into the forums until after the game itself was released.

I was busy looking forward to RTW and checking the .com regularly. One day, I decided to click that particular link, and here I was.

Wow good one mate. Way back in the mists of time (well 5 years) when the Insane clan was set up, our founder (InsaneProphecy) was buddies with AggonyAce who set up the Aggony clan at around the same time (although I do believe we pre-date them)
Peeps got talking in game and we went to each others message boards and lo and behold a link to the .org was found.
Came had a look around and left for about a year. I believe more and more 'Aggonys' and 'Insanes' came looked and posted, and so I came back when I was invited by the Admins and stayed ever since.
A good day.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Back in the days of Shogun I spent muchos time on the .com, would always hear people talking about "the org". The way people talked about it was that "the org" was for the more mature, more knowledgable players. Eventually in the days just before MTWs release I left the .com and its horrid yellow on black text and have been at the Org and its more knowledgable and mature gamer (as long as you stay outside the backroom) ever since.
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
