Did any threads at the original "Eric Noah's 3e Site" transfer over to EN World? If so, I'd love to revisit those discussions.

Wow. Ten years. That's almost enough to make me come out of retirement long enough to post about it.

Wow. I'm also astonished. I'd viewed the original news page back in 1999 or 2000, I don't remember when exactly, but I was coming here reading up on 3e before it was released. Didn't even notice the forums at all, just looked for information and then stuff like conversions at first.
But it looks like I'm one of the relatively early members of the site, though not one of the people who's been here since the beginning of ENWorld itself when Eric's site was transferred over, I still registered in 2002. Back when ENWorld started, I was discussing D&D on Usenet, then I went over to WotC's boards for a while, then parked here and stayed.
So I've been annoying people here with my comments for 7 years. I'm surprised I've lasted this long.

I guess I should get around to purchasing a Commjunity Suppjorter account soon...
I guess I would be remiss if I didn't show up for this anniversary - even if I am not a member of the first hour!
Congratulations & 'Well Done!' to all the staff & contributors of EN World.

Many thanks to Eric and Morrus for providing a home for us gamers. Here's to many more years.

I'm also feeling very old now... Altough I'll feel that again at the next 10 years celebrations!
I remember visiting Eric Noah's site everyday for scoops on the 3rd edition. Altough I'm not a regular poster, I'm an avid lurker. Congratulations Eric and Morrus, and everyone else that helped. You guys rock.

Thank you for ten years
Thanks to Eric Noah, Morrus, and everyone past and present who has worked hard to make EN World a thriving online community.
I remember first finding this site, and using the information to convince a skeptical DM and gaming group that it might be worthwhile to check out Third Edition. It was in no small part of what I found here that caused my old group to make the transition from 2E to 3E.
I remember the excitement over the articles, and the threads. I remember the play by post games, such as Edena of Neith's Industrial Revolution. Indeed, my avatar was designed by Creamsteak, a player in the Third IR, who has become an important part of this community.
I also remember the ENNIES at Gen Con, including the year Morrus showed up and took the Hot Italian Beef photo with Morrus. (I was the fellow passing out the name badges, and a few of the people at the booths thought I knew all the moderators and the admins and asked me to relay messages.)
Many years later, when I left my old group due to dissatisfaction with it, EN World became one of my ways to stay in touch with the gaming community. I found other groups, and have gamed since then.
At the moment, I am finishing my first full year in Phoenix, Arizona, and have not really gamed much -- except for an occassional D&D Gameday event. However, I am sure that down the road I will look for a group. Chances are that I will start here, at what has become not just my favorite gaming site on the internet but one of my favorite sites on the internet.
There is a wealth of talented people here -- artists, programmers, and story tellers. This is a remarkable community.
Community. Yes, I know that some will say that it is hard to call a website a community -- many of us have never met and likely never will meet. Yet, we have celebrated milestones -- such as the births of children. We have mourned many of our own and I remember Angelsboi, Chairman Kaga, and others who are celebrating this anniversary with us in spirit.
Yes, we have debated and argued on many points of gaming and other topics. We can be an argumentative group, but there is a sense that at the end, most of us will respect and even like one another.
In the past ten years, I have seen many changes -- both in gaming and in my own life. Here is to the next ten years for EN World! Good gaming!
