RE: Who is the blitz longest member
Nort has the general sense of it, in 2000 the website was converted to something we recognize today as automated. Prior to 2000 we did everything manually, so the ladder custodian would calculate wins and losses, points and percentages for his ladder that week, and calculate new positions, rework the pages and upload them to the server. A good custodian would do this about once a week, so results weren’t real time. When we re-did the website everyone’s join date reset to that 2000 date, mine is different because it was something I was proud of, and although I couldn’t remember precisely when I joined, I reset mine to the oldest game results I had on file, which was in September 99. I would be willing to bet that some of the old CS players who are still active could find posted results even earlier than my date. Management may even be willing to adjust peoples dates if they point to a ladder result and ask (we never did it for everyone because it was simply too much work to reset everyone manually).
Typhoon- thanks for the compliment - I’m in the potzer class now, having taken a decade off to deal with life (ie raise 4 kids).
