I don't remember how i came aware about freelancer for the 1st time. Most likely it was somebody from ~700-PCs LAN i was part of back then. We had amazing newsgroup back then, in which practically any significant event (and by far not only in gaming world) was tagged for users to know about.
We even had optical fiber networks in our top level back then, starting from 1998, and it was SO darn fast. Well, actually i bet it still is oh so fast, it's just that i'm not living in that area anymore.
Do you see the groundhog there? No? Me neither. But, it's there nonetheless.
