cmrskywlkr Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Back in July of 1999 I joined Nightly.net so that I could discuss all things related to Star Wars. Actually, I thought I joined before then because I recall talking about Star Wars related topics before the release of The Phantom Menace. If this site when through some for up update or transition before then, there's a good chance that I pre-date even 1999. But, I can't recall for sure since it was such a long time ago. Regardless, Nightly.net was one of the first communities that I connected with on the internet. In July of 1999 I had just turned 18. Another 18 years later and I've graduated college, become a profession engineer, I still love Star Wars and I think fondly of this community. I'm curious if any original members from way back then still frequent from time to time. Anyway, I just wanted to pop in an say "Hi!". I honestly can't believe that my old login works. I don't think I've checked into this site in at least 15 years. I'm honestly quite impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thanks for popping in. I was also a 99er, but I'll admit that I don't remember you. A lot more people back then! Nightly launched summer of 99, so I guess depending on where you live, you could have been here before TPM was released! Feel free to stick around. I know that we have at least a couple other '99'ers around. Back then I was Brandon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Shenanigans. Britton wasn't until early 2000s. During the LiztheGreat/Spike Lando era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Britton? I'm pretty sure Great Britain had been around since at least the late 1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that we have at least a couple other '99'ers around. Back then I was Brandon. Britton was Commander Skywalker's name Well, I can't vouch for others. My names not Britton though, and I first used "CmrSkywlkr" because that's a name that was available without numbers tacked to the end when I joined AOL back in the mid-90s. I used that name for a while on other sites. The only other members I recall were "OpenAWindu" and "InternationalHouseOfPorkins". And, yes, I remember the old episodei.com, episodeii.com and episodeiii.com domains, which is how I found this place to begin with. It really was a long time ago, and I can't recall. Did this community exist on those domains, and migrate to a new server? I could be wrong but I vaguely recall discussing "episode I" before it's release, some where, but I thought it was here.

Guest Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 When I started, there was a link from episodeii.com to Nightly. But it was the official message board for those sites. And, FWIW, you have been a member since 7 July 1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANA-kin Skywalker Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Britton was Commander Skywalker's nameThe guy you're thinking of was Commander_Skywalker007 or something like that. I'm about 75% this is not the same guy. I thought his name was Walt, though. Quite the ladies man if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 75% this is not the same guy. I thought his name was Walt, though. Quite the ladies man if I recall. I find this whole interchange to be a bit hilarious. My name is Richard, though I'm not sure I shared it back then. I was not Britton, or Walt or anyone else and I didn't create any other names. Well, being a kid I think I did create an account that was named "ChefOfIHOPorkins" as a joke. I might have posted under that name 10-15 times, but other than that I've had no sock puppet accounts. After I gave it a bit more thought, I think there was someone else named "MrKissKissBangBang" that was an avid poster on here but that could have been from some where else. These are 17-18 year old memories from the internet so as you can imagine they are a bit hazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
