10 years!

Post by Tareth Thorn »

Late in 2003, a small group of people got together to discuss the future of the Dueling Forum. AOL had been steadily reducing our resources and things were looking bleak. This ragtag group met in clandestine chat rooms and together came up with a plan, created resources, shared thoughts and dreams and started what seemed like a pretty titanic project at the time; migrating the Duels from AOL to the internet.

10 years ago, necessity birthed invention. It's a testament to this community that it is still here today, still healthy. Bravo to everyone who volunteers their time, their resources, their love for this slice of the internet that still bears the fantastic setting, the rich history, the amazing imagination of the Dueling Forum.

Saluté! Here's to another 10 years!

Another 10 would be fantastic. :)

Good to "see" you!

And Matt will still be saying "Duel me, I'm old!"

Of course, by then it will be a talking skeleton...

LIES.

It's "Fight me, I'm old!" or the variant "I'm old, fight me!"

AND IT'S TRUE!!!!

I hate you.

It's like when Gork once told me "Man, you've been dueling since I was in second grade."

FIGHT ME... *I'M* OLD!!!
