10 years of ENW

[KB9JMQ]

10 Years? Wow

I can't remember the date but I do remember turning in my first scoop within a few days of Eric taking them. I spent hours scouring other boards and sites to find one only to get beat by someone else most of the time.

I loved waking up to check the site to see what possible tidbit had been discovered and read all the speculations on what it meant

I don't know what scares me most: that I've been coming here for a decade, that I've been working on this for 9 years or that I'm Morrus' age!



I remember when I used to update my Geocities gallery, then go to Wizards' chat room and then Eric's to announce it. And then Eric invited me over to be hosted, and Mo' took up the baton after that.

Man, what a crazy ride! I think I still have some 2e stuff on my computer! And I bought the damn 2e Core Rules CD Rom!

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind...

Wow, its been that long. I was working at the University of Arkansas Libraries and hadn't even gone to graduate school yet, when I found Eric Noah's Third Edition News. And being new to the internet culture I still didn't understand everyone's dislike of TSR and got into a flamewar about the brand being absorbed into Wizards.

i've been visiting enworld for a long time. thinking back (and comparing it to the dates mentioned above) i guess i've been visiting (as both lurker and member) since almost the start! I can't believe it's been almost 10 years! wow...

I'm just waiting for the 10th anniversary of the actual "EN World" website. We can pull out all our old nostalgic Daemonforge material, and recall the woe and lament about turning the forums over from a Wisconsinite to a Brit.

 

[Knightfall]

That is actually quite scary - it means I was a youthful 24 at the time!

I would have been 27 in August of 1999.

Yikes!!!

Wow, has it really been that long!

Good times!

I was 63 and dyslexic.

 

[Lanefan]

That could be a great idea. Make an event of it, see if we can rope in some celebrity judges, offer a cool prize...

Would you want this all in place before the birthday (currently, Aug 10)? If not, the winner(s) could be announced at GenCon; which is the following week...

I remember discovering the site during GenCon. August 10 was a Tuesday, 2 days after the Con closed. Does that fit Eric's timetable?

Yeah, could be. I think it took me a couple of days to see that I was going to have to organize the tidbits I was gathering and so didn't start marking my material with dates until then.

 

[Mark]

(. . .) I was going to have to organize the tidbits (. . .)

There's a good slogan for the back of the t-shirts.
