Ten years, and I've been here for ca nine of them. (registered 8 years ago though)

Happy civvin'.

I remember following a link from Allard(Allen?) Hosfelt's civII site where I got my images to mod my civII game from. 1st time in Sept of 1998, 2nd time in Nov., when I finally registered. There were some early heavy flame wars in November and December, that fizzled out mainly by the intervention of one particular Orcus, who few likely remember now. It was a very small community at the time and everyone knew everyone. It's inspiring to see how much it has grown and persevered over the last decade.

But yeah, it's Hosfelt's fault I'm here. So blame him. And Happy Birthday Poly. May you have many more.

There are websites that conquer all others in a span on a few years then suddenly burn out into nothingness.

There are websites that copy other successful ones images, but have moar fanbase and popularity and youth.

There are websites that struggle for years and fall apart into obscurity, as brilliant as they may have been in their time.

But RARELY is there a website that survives for an entire decade of growth, change, and pain and live to tell others: "get ready for another 10."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY APOLYTON!

Thanks, whereas I turned my badge and six shooter in, yours was concise and to the point, speaking of, did I see mention of additional smilies?

(serious, not trolling)

Maybe in the thread for suggestions for 10 celebratio???

Thanks!

Ten years ago today,

I don't get this line. Is that this year's feature?

Ten years ago today, Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS) began as a joint venture between myself, Daniel "DanQ" Quick, and Markos Giannopoulos as a result of the merger of our respective Civilization II (as well as my original Civ) fansites. As ACS' Chief Owner/Administrator now, I am pleased with the work that our staff -- past and present -- and community have accomplished but there is room for improvement and more to do still.

Thanks also to our partners past and present in the gaming industry for their contributions to our endeavour. To those advertisers with whom we have maintained or left on good relations, and those who have been able to directly support the financial operation of this site through means such as our optional subscription service, we say thank you as well.

On behalf of the ACS administration of myself, Wouter "Locutus" Snijders, Ming, rah and Solver, and the rest of our staff, I welcome you to leave your supportive and reflective messages about the first decade of this Civ fansite and community. May there be many more to come!



Keep on Civ'in.

Yes Nikolai, according to OP

[Nikolai]

I'm not sure. The link goes to a feature from 2005. I don't get how that can be this years feature.
