Oh hey, that issue with not being able to activate my new card because there was no obvious option to do so? Well it seems the obvious option was to simply go through the steps of creating a new account, and everything gets transferred over automatically. That easy, in fact I originally thought that's how you did it from the start. I didn't need to go through all that stuff with the phone system at all.

April 2011 was the month where this forum had the most registrations.

I was in that month and have no idea why.

At the store I work at, people asking me where the strawberries are while standing directly adjacent to them seems to be a growing trend.

First or second DF release with z-levels, I think.

Are you sure? I'm from 2010, and there were definitely Z-levels when I started, and I started playing well before I registered.

Of course, considering the release schedule, it's quite possible that's true.

I'm not 100% sure if it'd involve Descan, but that actually does sound like something that would happen on this forum.
it would probably involve me.

Mmmm. Tasty ethical human meat.

I can't find the date for z-levels, but I know that Boatmurdered was pre-z-levels (them dashes) and that was 2007.

Anyway, z-levels or no I'm pretty sure it was one release or another. I think it might have been the first to make waves on reddit? There was one that did that and it set the record.

Can confirm 2009, probably 2008- wait this is dumb.
0.27.169.32a (2007-10-29): The very first fully 3D version

That's neat, though.  I guess I started only about a year after 3D was introduced...  Heh, feeling nostalgic now.  Guess I'll give the latest version another go (I still felt like the military stuff was confusing, last time).

it would probably involve me.

Huh...  I might eat meat cloned from myself, in this lifetime. 
I guess that's not so weird, I already nibble the sensationless flesh around my fingernails.

Heh. That would appear to be the reason I actually got around to joining the forum. First post was confirming/helping to confirm a Z-level bug with indefinitely suspended mid-air stuff, day or so after that release.

Do people really join forums based on updates? I just stumbled on DF from an article about roguelikes.

When DF updates, it tends to get posted on other sites. When that happens, a bunch of people decide to register to the forums, for help getting into the game if nothing else.

I can't quite remember why I started playing DF, but I think it was an article.  It was a long time ago, but I was probably browsing free strategy games or something, and noticed that it was ascii, and the article pointed out some of the depth.
