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

Might be the link, perhaps DanQ can answer?


I am glad you brought this up, heck, when I was allowed to be a news editor, honored as I was, just a very small mistake in code and I could mess up the whole setup


I'll PM Dan to have him clarify my brother

Take care!

There is no feature yet other than this thread (and unfortunately it will be minimal otherwise) -- the link specifically goes to a general overview of the site's history (which includes reference to the site's founding).

Very nice story Theben...

As for features, we have one or two in the staff room Nikolai, but we might hold off on them for next year- they're interesting, but not awesome, sadly... they are interesting didn't quite live up to the standards we (perhaps Dan) expects from Apolyton

I'm thinking of a belated party this next winter in the Philippines with cake and cookies.


Since there's not going to be overly many Poly folks there (likely 2, maybe 3) we'll combine it with one of the family kids birthday parties. If there's any cake left we can have some. If not well I guess we'll be stuck with BBQ and rum drinks.

[Locutus]

We're working our arses off ATM to roll out some of the major changes to the site we've been promising, hopefully that will happen within the next few weeks. Because of that we haven't had much time to work on a proper birthday feature, but I think that once you see what we're working on you'll agree that's a better way to spend our precious time and manpower.

And of course, we still have the Sid Meier interview...

Anyway, Happy Birthday Apolyton!

Relax Locutus, I'm not complaining. It was just a question. Looking forward to seeing the results of your work. Too bad I'm not experienced in anything that can help you in that regard.

Thanks Locutus, we all look forward to the fruits of your labors!

Using it? You bet I do. But I was thinking on something more relevant to the current behind the scenes work.

[DarkCloud]

And of course- a happy 10 years to Apolyton

I remember visiting the First Greek Civ Site in 1998, before the merger... Very interesting how times have changed.

Maybe we could whip up a quickie '10 year Review of Polymeets' thread and BS about that.

Happy Birthday Apolyton!


This is a pretty amazing site, to have survived and thrived for that long!

Like Nikolai it's almost been 8 years for me too!

Lancer, you know, it's funny- I've never actually met anyone from apolyton. The closest "big name" poster who lives near me is about a 45 minute to an hour drive away. Other than him, I'm over 4 hours to anyone else

I've met The_PlagueRat (I think that was his name, something similar at least). He left poly a couple of years ago, but he remembered me from the picture thread (and, admitably, from the colored mags) when he came into the gas station I work at.

10 years.......... time to post some quotes from the mysterious staff-room! (if it exists....... )

"and I can do mediocre." (rah)

"...I'm not good at writing anything ..." (Solver)

"maybe start apologising in advance for the fact that it'll be buggy as f*ck" (Locutus)

From the ban log: (always interesting)
"It might be shorter after we have a "discussion"" (Ming)

"I think we need to ban #### for racism in the thread there. I mean... wow." (Imran Siddiqui)

"Probably By rights I should ban ####, but ... not worth the effort." (snoopy369)

"#### has been released.
Needless to say, being watched like a hawk. OK an old hawk with failing vision but watched none the less. " (rah)

"Will we get the minutes of what you guys have said in the admin forum
Man, it was cruel to see you guys posting like crazy without being able to read it (officially) " (CyberShy)

"I think you should be permabanned as a threat to internal security " (Solver to CyberShy)

"Goodness. I hope you guys know what you're doing..." (AlexanderI)

"Snoopy... that is standard practice for drunks that get out of hand " (Ming)
