March 18, 2001.  I never posted much outside of EUOT, but then again I never got banned there either.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation deemed an episode of Peppa Pig unsuitable for broadcast, because its theme was that "spiders are very small and they can't hurt you".

The game came out in Sweden a year before the English speaking world.

Mar 30 2001 here.

Which makes sense. I had the board game and followed the creation of the first game pretty closely and that is only about one month after it was released in the US. I don't think I actually created an account and start posting until after I had played the game a bit.

IIRC, back in the day you could log in as a guest and read the forums without actually creating an account.  I think I had been reading the forums that way for a few months before I actually registered, but my memory may be faulty on that point.

I actually registered, because I needed tech help. A patch broke the game for me, and they sent me new .exe files to test if that would fix the issue. Turned out the patch, plus copy protection, plus my CD-ROM drive, caused the issue in combination.

It was released in Sweden December 15th and in NA February 15th, so yeah, in Sweden it was released in 2000 and in NA in 2001.

I registered to post a review from gamesdomain.com, my then favourite games site, now long dead. I had read the forums for about a year by then, the game and the forum totally blew my mind. And then OT came, and then HOI and everything went to shit with retard kids ruining it, although the games got better.

Come to think of it, I was 18-19 by then, so right about now I have read the forums for half my life.
