for the newbies amongst us, what is PuF?

"Planet Unreal Forums"


In the fall of 1998, PlanetUnreal, which was originally UNA out of Australia, featuring the likes of San, Arcane, Mia'cova and Mek, began to assemble a number of absolute Unrealaholics as their administration team. The site joined the Gamespy Planet Network and was run for the community, by the community.

After some time, Gamespy stopped being a generous host and began to be assimilated into the hive mind that the Planet network has become today. Because of various events, the original PlanetUnreal staff was forced to either become lapdogs or set out on their own. With a little encouragement and help, BeyondUnreal was born in October of 2001 and has been going strong ever since. You can read more of the Gamespy catastrophe in various places around the web, but our story can be found here.

You mean '- had become then'. Remember the IGN Acquisition back in 04.
It was like PuF->BuF, only hive-wide.

Mass Exoduses from nearly every Planet* website, to the point where most of them have been graveyards for over 5 years now.
