The caps in the title are to be spoken in a dramatic tone of voice.

I was rooting around, when I found this:

The Worms 2 Tips section (http://web.archive.org/web/20000301020443/worms.team17.com/worms2/?tips).

I remember reverantly printing out every single sheet of that and the weapons guide. And sticking it in an enormous folder, which also contains all that's left of The Allotment.

What was the Allotment's address again? I think I need to get that stuff back...

Yeah, www.archive.org is a great site.

I used to visit that worms2 site allot back in the days. Before I had internet at home I would sometimes visit my moms work place and do all my surfing from there, printing articles and guides. Oh, thoose where the times =)

Blimey - it's over 6 years since I posted on the Community Board.

I feel I have contract nostalgia nausea.

Good lord! worMatty posting on The Allotment news? My, it *did* go to pot, didn't it?

I tried contacting Otorp but all the details I found wouldn't work. I searched his real name but only came up with some doctor bloke.

I realise now that where I am, here in OD, I'm as far from all the trouble on the CMB as I can get.

Indeed.

They were fun days but they belong firmly in the past.

Heh. I entered the community properly just after the Allotment got closed down and the CMB got transferred to The Worms Universe... and boy, was I a newbie. An enthusiastic and polite newbie, but still a newbie...

I'd been hanging around before then, but never really entered into the whole thing until the Allotment was a pretty well rotted corpse.

Sad, really.

I still have fond memories of the W:A Toystore.

And getting flamed on the CMB.

Whatever happened to Lord Electro?

He resigned. I emailed him a while back asking if he still had the Wormscenter content but he hadn't, unfortunately. I remember Chris 'Cardeese'/'Pyro' Phillips. He was an all right chap, really. He and I had some differences over web sites and Otorp's Top 25 Worms Sites list but we sorted those out :)

I remember Cardeese. I used to go there every day.

Good times.

That may be, but that was back when I wrote unreadable visual basic code that I didn't send to anyone.

I think it's a good thing most of my vb projects are lost now.
