I remember Ming's thread "Ok, all the regulars..." (or something like that) at the old addicted site, that summoned people there and got them over to Apolyton.
I remember a poster called Flavor Dave, who always posted interesting threads at the Civ 2 strategy forum and made an art of inventing eye-catching thread names (how about "Rehabilitating King Richard's Crusade"? ).
I remember a poster called Sieve Too, who was extremely knowledgeable in everything about Civ 2.
I remember a poster called Catullus, whose thread "And the winner is - San Marino" initiated the OCC race. I, geofelt and Catullus competed to win the space race with as few cities as possible. I think geofelt or Catullus had it down to 3, when Ming became the first to win a true OCC. I was the second one (yes, I'm a little proud of it! ).
I remember Venger's thread (I think that was his name?) at the Civ 2 strategy forum, calling WLTLD a "crunch for the weaker player". Talk about flame war...
I remember my first encounter with Sten Sture at the forums, and the first trembling MP experiences with him and Bird. As Oedo posted somewhere else, the exchange in the chat room was unbelievably funny!
I remember when the Civ 2 strategy forum was so active it was hard to keep up. New threads, new topics, new strategies, new replies by the minute.
I remember too many racists, fascists, gun fetischists etc in the off-topic forum than I want to. It seems to be better now.
All I can come up with for now.
