[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6610604, member: 1"] 16 years ago when I was ... yikes.... in my early 20s. Wait, I'm not in my early 20s any more? What the hell? That wasn't the deal! Anyway, Eric Noah ran his [URL="http://www.enworld.org/ericnoah/"]Eric' Noah's Unofficial D&D 3rd Edition News[/URL] site. It was awesome. I have it archived at that link. Eric and I became friends, and at the same time I create EN World for the creation of homebrew 3E game settings. To that I ended up adding a reviews database and d20/OGL news reporting. Back then, nobody else was doing that stuff -- now everybody is! It was an exciting time - pre social media, the OGL was new and people were doing awesome things with it (they still are, but we're used to it now). Anyhow, Eric emailed me one day to tell me he was closing his site. I was devastated, to be honest. I loved that place, its forums, his news scoops, the community. But then, after we talked it over for a while, we both agreed it would be a real shame to close the community (and, again, it wasn't like there were a billion RPG forums back then, or Facebook, or Twitter) so we figured I should take it over. Which I did. And now it turns out I'm, like, 40 and have been doing this for most of my adult life. So I've been doing this 16 years now. The site's grown, shrunk, crashed, been rebuilt more than once, been hacked, been popular, been unpopular, but we're still here.
