Agreed, There was a lot of cool stuff posted in the RGT days, I especially liked TMC's work as his vehicle physics were and still are awesome. I recall proects like DG's Magic World, Inca etc. Also Hmm made a few GTA style games which at the time inspired me to make my own :p. However my memory isn't that awesome but recently I guess all the dudes in IRC, IanM, Hyrichter, Sparky, Be.. something(maker of Multistink DLL)

Like I said I probably missed out quite a few, I was considering a mention about you, but now, I don't think I want to, I mean I want to be a mean b****** and let you suffer without the satisfaction of your name being added to the list - it's cruel, but we both know, I'm English.

Shame it was locked before I got there, I so want to have a giggle or post something helpful...it would have depended on my mood at the time...as for the water balloon analogy, well everybody has to have a hobby, personally throwing them at random members of the public is more fun, but each to their own.

We are not, we are well known members, celebrities if you will, girls queue up for our autograph...oh you're right, who am I kidding? The autographs are actually several real estate salesmen buying parts of our souls.

I was thinking Fallout might go into the list, but then I think and realize that all he contributes to this community is tasteless jokes about his insecurities. That and human blood poured into the skulls of his enemies.

And I think he coded a physics thingy at some point, but that might have been someone else.

I add Kevin Picone. Everyone must at least once during his time on Apollo have wondered who that guy talking to himself in the PlayBASIC topic is. Respect, honestly, I'm getting desperate from noone replying to Wartorn: Jarod's Fall in Program Announcements and you just forty-post in your own topic with updates.

Sweet. I have done a great job keeping off the forums the past year. Only 1 person seems to remember me.

Also:

Kevin Isn't talking to himself, he's giving us updates. If it would let me register on his site so I could beta test, I might would reply in there from time to time. I already own Play Basic and can say it is quite good. Once in 3d, you will see alot more from it.

Actually, Kevin is probably the most skilled person here. He would definately be near the top of my "Best Coders" list.

When you make a good game/or something someone can use you will get on the list.

Is there a prize for being on this list?

Is it like the Forbes list?

A couple that haven't been mentioned:
GeeCee3 (is that spelled right? Did all those old-school demo's a while back)
Scylent (had that WinSkinning DLL)

There's heaps of oldies that can be added to the list, but I'm absolutely terrible with names!

I was around on the original forum, but I never signed up. At the time, I just needed to look for some information when using DBC1.06
Speaking of which, I ran that the other day - looking at the old fullscreen editor gave me a massive nostalgia hit!

This whole thread's just a popularity test, making the popular ones feel better about themselves whilst punishing those less remembered (like Eureka up there ).
Personally, I've got a couple mentions (thanks), but I don't care.
Why? Because I'm a mod - I've already made it as high as I can go

Finally finished reading this whole thing (took about half an hour, lol).

What a nice trip down memory lane. Of course, no one would mention me, I was always the "helped" and not the "helpful", lmao. I think a few people would be able to vouch for me that if I ran into a problem, then by God there had to be a new thread about it.

I noticed no body ever mentioned:

Grim Reaper

Aaron made the best VG music I could think of back then! He's still on my MSN buddies list actually, lol.

And everybody else that I can think of worth mentioning has already been listed, except:

Nikkydude (for making that absolutely handy FPSC Hints and Tips pdf)
And everyone that ever made a script for FPSC and shared it with the community!

Such a happy feeling I got remembering the good old days in RGT, and I just realised that Van B hasn't changed his avatar since then, lmfao. Van, you must worship that picture or something to have kept it up for over 5 or so years now! .... You too, Wolf! LOL

And yet, I feel so left out. I must be immemorable for not having an avatar of my own.
