Although I wasn't a member of pG, I do remember their existence and playing on some of their CS servers back in the day. Never became a member because I had another community I was sort of co-owner of. We all decided to let that project go though and then I just drifted around communities and servers until I came across eGO's TTT server. The rest is history.

This is all coming from a perspective of someone who plays 99.9% surf
TLDR; The community was a small(ish)group of loyal fans that was very unique for the time period; it felt like the bar from cheers
I came onto the surf a few months before the merge, and I remember meeting heidi and damon, as saiko and cherry bomb (thats a rare sight!) and i remember when the merge happened a lot of people were pretty upset, and from an outside perspective it would seem kinda weird, because a lot of people didn't like the much needed updates and improvements, but I think a lot of the pG identity came from the very unique, if a little (very) buggy, plugins. I believe the surf timer was homebrew, and it was really more of a bhop timer, it didn't even show your speed! it showed your strafe percentage (personally i really miss that feature, it was so unique and tbh its what kept me playing on the server lol)
But besides the growing pains from the merge, i remember the community being very unique. I of course tried out a lot servers before I landed on pg/ego and none of them were very cool compared to pg. I used to play on this bhop server before i moved to surf, and it was a really cool VERY unique server that was the only place that had a good nontoxic community of loyal players, and thats what really stuck with me about pg, was that every time i got on there was the same set of people and they were all fun and it wasn't ever boring or irritating. I really have to thank
heidi
and
Damon
because they were always on keeping it as awesome as it could be, and they've had the biggest impact on what i think about ego, and they are the reason i got on the forums in the first place. (Ps heidi ILY! )
When the merge happened a lot of pg people left the community, and with the transition between old vs. new surf (youd know what i meant if you were around through it all ) there was a lot of time resets and surf timer changes and maps doing this and that ( which is to be expected, the old system was REALLY hecked). I also remember custom stats used to actually use his mic back then lol. But anyway that in between stage (that really only changed around the beginning of 2020, 2019 was kinda a lawless wasteland) Was really weird and i kinda quit surf for a while, not neccesarily because of that but because it was kinda lame and broken all the time, and none of the older players would come on anymore, and that combined with life made me stop doing so much stuff online, because all i did was surf really. It took a while for the server to find its identity again, and it felt more like one of those servers youd go on because it just happened to have the map you were looking for.
But now i think its every bit as good as what it was back then. Every server will go through changes, its inevitable, but i think eGO has finally found its place and we're getting the server filled basically 24/7 (there were times when i was the ONLY one in the server at 3 in the afternoon on a saturday in the summer) and a lot of those people are names i recognize. I've spent about 300 (out of 1200) hours on the pg/ego surf which really doesnt seem like all that much now that i see it in numbers but to me it feels like home for a million years. When i get on the server i am greeted with the same "Hey platypus!" i was greeted with so many times long ago (which is a great feeling). There is the same nostaligia, though, for simpler times, with admitedly less annoying kids getting on saying things they're way too young to know about.
So yeah from a kid who only played surf id say it was a fun casual joint that you could get on after a long day of whatever you had going on, and know you would have a good time. It's very much like that now and im glad to say it.

pG was pretty chill. I joined in December of 2016, I remember because it was winter break and I had just discovered surf and played it for a good portion of that break. We had both the positives and negatives of being a smaller community. Everybody knew each other, and not just between members or admins but even the "randoms" were pretty well known in pG. Of course things like map updates and bug fixes were not always so quick to be solved, but that's expected of a smaller and all volunteer tech team. I think the only person I know that still is active on eGO that I was friends with is
heidi
. I know there's others that I interacted with pre merger but I never got the chance to know them well. Plus a lot of username changes have happened since then. I mean I still call heidi "Cherry" on occasion.

I've played mostly CSGO pG / eGO so when the merge happened there really wasn't a chance. I played on pG starting 2015 and after a couple of years decided to join then got admin. I remember seeing Larry, Godzilla, Five-Salmon, vibrating stick, Bonkers, Hebrew Hammer, ABC, Beast, ect. The real change in the community happens over time when players stop playing and new ones join but I feel the community remains relatively the same.

I was from Prestige Gaming times, it was much more chill and relaxed, you wouldn't go into TTT and hear RDM RDM RDM RDM RDM. Now days, eGO gets quite chaotic and ye. I wasn't a member at the time. I didn't actually know how to join and wasn't a part of the community. It was fun.

Sooooo this is gonna be a post and a half so here it goes.
I used to watch Seananners - like religiously - because I really enjoyed his group playing games and laughing like crazy. I actually think part of my stupid wheeze laugh comes from this group of friends. He played The Hidden (if any of you have seen the Morgan Freeman video, you are automatically my friend) and TTT on Garry's Mod mostly. So, I always wanted to play TTT, but Garry's Mod didn't work too great on my old laptop I used to play on, which could've been from my internet, or the computer itself.
Anyway, I picked up CS:GO despite how many times my parents told me it was not a healthy game to be playing (which I think is hilarious because I made over $5000 on that game), and played around a little bit. When I wasn't playing casual or comp, I would watch YouTube in my free time, and one time I came across CS:GO TTT, which excited me to say the least. I found TTT servers, but didn't really enjoy it, until I found pG.
Now, here's where the story gets a little hazy. About the same time I found pG (going by the names DrewR and bt24), I was also playing in another community called Arctic Gaming, run by my friend August. I played JB there and TTT on pG, AND I was trading like a madman on trading websites, and different trading servers, like TGP, for example. It gets hazy because everything was happening at once. This is where I met my long time Forklift friends including
TinyMuffinLord
@Divine @webby, among others.
Soon, Arctic Gaming took a sad turn and was shut down, but not until August made a JB map which is still in the pool for maps in eGO called jb_august. I'm sure a lot of you have played it. Regardless, with Arctic Gaming gone, I focused on pG and trading. Not even gonna lie, I was toxic back then, and I got into some pretty heated arguments with admins, ironically including
heidi
, known as Cherry Bomb back then. Additionally, I got into quite a large argument with an individual named Universe. Here's a funny ass pic of what I said in a CL back in the day. I called out the entirety on pG LE. Nice one b t!

After getting banned by said individual, I focused on playing comp. I got really good and eventually hit Supreme, never quite making it to global. After getting unbanned, I came back to pG only to find out a couple days later that we were merging. I was not exactly excited, and I was dealing with some personal problems when the merge eventually happened. I took a break and came back this spring by the name:
b t. Needless to say, it's been quite a wild ride here.
