What was your first post on gamedev about as a registered user? Also what was your first reply about? Mine was about collision detection, and that was supposed to be it. The whole reason I registered is because Anonymous Posters could not make a thread. I never really intended to stay on gamedev.

I remember mine...

It was on the general programming board: Problems using pointers (the THIS pointer to be exact!

)

Well, if my memory serves me from back a million years ago (or has it been just one?

), I believe it was about using 24Bit color in DD. After that, I think I bragged about being the first to post in the "API specific" forum (now the DirectX/OpenGL one).

Seeing that i've only been on this site about a month (I think) I "should" acually remember this. My first thread was about whether or not college is neccesary, and my first reply was umm, er, might have been something about someone asking about what animation program to buy.

I signed up the second I found this site, I heard about it from someone on Gamasutra, which is a fine site, but has a terrible message board system.

Anyone know why I can't get this picture to show as my signature? I copied the exact thing from where I put in my signature under my profile and it works.
