there was a time a while ago when there was a problem with the board when you had to keep refreshing pages to get the to load properly, and I mean EVERY page.
It was quite annoying, but it worked out in the end.

OLD SKOOL REPRAZENT!
If I remember correctly, I first registered in July-00, and had 1001 posts when the board went down.
I too fondly remember the F5 days - does anyone have a copy of the F5 medal we all used to use afterwards?

I joined on 20/9/00, so I guess my second birthday is coming up soon. Funny, I thought I was here longer than just 2 years ;)

I have been here so long I don't even remember.
This has alwyas been the number 1 place and it has the best members of any board.
I think that I might be able to get my life back to normal now that it is coming back online again.
Great work guys

well i cant remember when i joined first. somewhen i heard somebody talk about the big K and i started to wonder what it is. so i did some research and joined but the board was too huge and time consuming cause i had many other boards too at that time. now im down to 3 boards and theK is the 4th one. hope it works out this time :)

man, I think I joined thekinetik 2 years ago... or one and a half...
I'm not really sure, but I'm sure that I want the Design Forums
back :)
Yes, I remember Churchi's. Now that brings back memories. And Twoslow/Twofast was one of the top sites arouind at the time. Although I'm so old now, I could be making this all up.
cheers
k00k :D
I cant remeber when I first came here, but i do remeber the F5 key, does that make me old?
Thx to Wishy for the heads up on the return tho :D

Must be well over 2 years since I joined - considering that the k! was down for nearly 1 year!
Don't know if I will ever reach my old post-count... :)

I really dont remember when I joined. But i do remember it was when Kinetik was showing releases on main site. So whenever that was i joined about a month before that ended and kinetik became only a board. you do the math.
Nemesis
08-14-2002, 06:38 AM
I'd say the only reason people are here now is because they've been pounding the F5 key, not like this site has any advertising, least not that I know of.

over 2 years here ahhh the good old f5 days mind you the keyboard companies must have made a fortune :D
As far as i know, there was only one "F5 period" - all other times the board was either up or down. What i dont know is when exactly i joined (They say that the memory is the first thing to go with old age :()
DR_SP0CK
08-14-2002, 11:54 AM
No there were two ... but the first was the long one , the second one only lastead a couple of days while they switched server or whatever it was they were doing (moving all the pandapr0n pics i guess)

The first time I joined, was a couple weeks after it went public (but I was just a lurker/leecher back then), then I was idle for ages and got removed - bummer. So I came back at the start of last year, although haven't really been active :(

My story is pretty much the same as entrails, I was around in the pre-kinetik days as well...
I was a member at Churchi's also. But didn't it have another name for a few days/weeks, before it became Kinetik? Daves or something simple?,(no offence to any Daves intended).
I could just be having another acid flashback....
cheers

But I lost em all seing how I didnt use any thing elses than the board to message tem :(
I hope they will come back and that they still remember me ;)
I dont realy remember how I found the K...
Think it was when I was a hardcore gamer and I wanted to d/l some games I made a serach and I found a site called Kinetik and I joined... think thats how it started... I was on 56K when I joined so I didnt realy know what I was getting myself into...
ANd here I am now... back where it all began... hope we stay online for a LONG time now!

I think I joined up in January last year?
I used to read the jokes forum alot before I signed up though...
I remember the F5 days. During those times, my visits were limited as the frustration of pushing the F5 key 7684768479743543698 times in one visit was just too much for me.
I'm just happy to se this place back :)

I remember Churchi.. and when it went down and had that pic of some guy with his dick dressed up as a fairy or somethin

08-17-2002, 08:58 PM
the F5 key on my board is actually quite faded... it's noticeably lighter than the others, almost gone.
a few people have mentioned it when using my computer, come to think of it

08-17-2002, 11:45 PM
I went from Churchi to the big K , so im not sure how long that is
Sure I remember the F5 days. I didn't get a medal though :)
Used to have another nick as told in the sig.
Happy to be here again!

i've been here since november 2000. i think. maybe earlier. i don't remember that far back. i know i got access to the private members section in january 2001 through a vouch from overlord. a nd i think you had to be a memeber for more than two months, so it must have been before november 2000. maybe november 1999. or was it churchi back then.... sometime around there at least. after churchi, but not too long after churchi. and since i joined i'd disappear for months at a time and drop back every now and then for a little while. sometimes when i'd try to come back to the K, it wouldn't be there. othertimes you'd have to refresh every page after you clicked on it to work, othertimes it's worked fine. here's to a stable board for the future. cheers.
sure thing, i know the F5 key :)

I joined in late 2000, If I remember rightly. Might have been 2001, but I've got a crap memory.
I'm pretty sure it was 2000 though, 'cos it was during my first year of college. Yeah, Sept. 2000 I think, so I'm coming up to my two years :)

08-23-2002, 09:50 AM
Pretty sure I joined in July 2000, definately remember the F5 days (so frustrating at the time, just a fond memory now ;) ).
As you can see I'm a newbie again, just hope i don't have to live though my F5 days again :D .
