      If it were just a year earlier (2003ish), I could have suggested you stick with http://csnation.counter-strike.net for the latest in CS news where we cover the future of Counter-Strike!



      Hostages, Bombs, and Assault Rifles. What could be better? How about hardcore Counter-Strikers who dish out the latest news, downloads, and original features in the CS fan's dreamsite? That works.

        The "Crunch" who submitted the Walter screenshot. Is that the Crunch we know here and now, or is that a different person? Also, I miss ICQ ever since I forgot what the heck my number was. Ironically I don't miss WLM and their rough transition to Skype.

          I'm not sure Crunch knew about CSN before it merged with TGN but I may be wrong.

            No, I didn't know about CSN then. Sorry.

                      He was well aware of the screenshots he was taking when he took them for the site. A great number of them included things like that.

                      For instance:

                        btw has anyone kept an actual backup of the old CSN content? I'm afraid web archive will go poof someday and I can't have my yearly csn nostalgia trip anymore >/
                        it's the only place where you can find counter-strike's and steam's history, even wikipedia has some details wrong like how steam was introduced with 1.6, they dont know of the old beta with 1.4 :P
