That's really great, Jedi Knight was the first game that really got me as a teenager into modding and designing my own levels for a clan. Which then I had to familiarize myself with the scripting and cog files, and it was really the first time I ever had to think like a programmer. I have fond memories of listening to songs I downloaded off of Napster and designing levels for me and my clan to hang out in and have lightsaber duels.

Some of my favorite gaming memories! Swapping IPs in chat rooms before MSN Zone picked it up. All the "hacks" were so inventive and fun - the Jail Hack by EaH in particular blew my mind. I remember some clan having Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise playing on their page :P

Edit: I wanted to say too, that I think for people of our generation, we understand completely that much of what goes on here will eventually be lost. Almost all the websites or forums that I participated in the 90s and early 00's are gone. And I think I prefer that to everything be recorded & saved for posterity.
