The Sincerenst Form of Flattery...

Wasn't there, way back, as site that used the same layout as ENWorld (or was that even Eric's old site)?

This site was known then as Nutkinland.

Original ENWurld is the only true site. All the other sites are just poor imitations of the real thing.

This site was known then as Nutkinland.

I'm 80% sure it was not one of the numerous NKL/NTL/DA/ETC incarnations.

Indeed. There were no messageboards except the ezboard one.

http://www.nutkinland.com/ was a site devoted to squirrels in gaming. With appearances of squirrels in Magic: the Gathering, in AD&D, and in other games I'm less familiar with.

It also featured the petition to WotC for a 3e squirrel -- as you know, there were no squirrels in the Monster Manual, which was a scandalous scandal. And the reply by one of the WotC dudes (Skip William, IIRC), with the stats for a 3e squirrel and apologies for this shocking oversight. (It weren't the same squirrel stats as those who were later published in Dragon Magazine.)

As ENWorld was still Eric Noah's Unofficial 3rd Edition News (the famous "black pages") with the 3e logo in the background image, Nutkinland copied that look, except the 3e logo was replaced by a squirrel logo.

As I said, I don't think it was Nutkinland, though there is a possibility that I'm wrong. And even if it was during Eric's reign, it propably was after the creation of NKL.

Want's me to go and sign-up as glEN World-Hand of Evil or better yet Telefone Billy.

Hmm... my site is called bEraNdorWorld.

Is that a problem?

No problem, you can name your site(s) anything you want, we are just goofing about.

I guess I could use my middle name to create ErwiN World.
