I remember finding the site from a link on Flat Earth Games (which I used to go to because it had a random plot generator). I know it was the very first incarnation because I remember the migration to the second board. It was also not long after I moved to Singapore.

Of course, as my appalling low post count indicates I have always basically lurked.

Anyway, a 10th anniversary is worth celebrating.

I found it when I was looking for 3e resources right after the release of 3e. Been lurking on and off ever since - well until a week or two ago when I delurked.

Believe me. It's expensive.

We could also use it at the ENnies booth at GenCon and, if approved, in the ENnies program.

10 years! Dang, this is the longest time that I have ever stayed on a site that was not porn driven!


Kind of amazing!

How wrong is it if I start referring to it as the "ENiversary?"

Maybe we/someone could make 10 anniversary tshirts with the blue globe EN symbol to help Morrus to defray the costs of the server?

Something like "Enworld 10 years and still gaming strong?"

I didn't join until January 2002.

I'd like to apologize for the cockiness of my post, but i recently posted a sarcastic linked which linked to the actual page of "www.justf******googleit.com" or so, and the boards censorship module broke the link. I'm not into swearing&cursing much, but censorship is never ever a good idea. You censure profane language, but do you censure racist&fascist stuff, too?

I respectfully disagree. In a privately owned publication, censorship (otherwise known as my right to spend my hard earned money publishing what I choose, not what other people decide I should publish) is an excellent idea!

If you haven't before (and your question suggests you didn't when you signed up, although you did agree to them) check out the rules as to what is not permitted here. Both of those types of post are not allowed, along with many others.

True, i did. I just wondered why you do censure things.
I've been to about more than 12 boards/forums and i've never seen automated censorship scripts.

Anyways, your forum, your rules.

So, with that out of the way, when do we get to partying?

Any plans for the EN... er, anniversary?

Will this be a BYOD* party?

(*bring your own dice)

And, please, let this not be a pant-optional party. ... because we all remember what happened last time!

Thank you.

Yeah I do... everyone wore pants but me!

It should be pants-forbidden.

I'd buy an ENWorld t-shirt.

I remember seeing this place back when I was at University. My brother (who occasionally posts as Heselbine) threw me a link to the 3e news, and I devoured it as I went along.

Can't quite remember why I joined the forums, but I'm really glad I did! I got sucked into the Hivemind threads, back when they were hosted in this forum having seen Crothian start the "World's Longest Thread" trick, met a lot of people and made a lot of friends on randomlingshouse when that was up and running, and had a great time getting drunk with Morrus in Southampton one evening (incidentally, do you still have a Jedi on your toilet?)

I still want to get out to the States sometime and meet some more of you (and get a guest spot in one of Piratecat's games, if at all possible! ) but I'm really proud to be a part of this community and would love to get involved in celebrating 10 years of it.

Oh, and for old time's sake:
