I didn't come from Nukebox. Although my "bot career" started with PODBot, I never went to the forums.
One day, a friend of mine sent me a link to the old POXBot site and said he had found a very interesting PODBot clone... Well, I tried to register there, but the site went down quickly... On one of the last days when it was open, I somehow found a link to Bots-United - and here the fun started...
The only other CS-related forums I knew before were related to custom weapon & player modelling, and those forums are full of arrogant, uneducated, snot-nosed little "prats" (as Leagle would say) whose ego is so bloated that they wouldn't fit through a door together with it. >
Here I found all I could ask for... a nice community, some great stuff - and I can even contribute something!
