Dang, Catiline....'99.

Thanks, man. I remember stumbling into the Org about then (October), after reading some ZDnet article about Dreamtime Interactive & Creative Assembly trying to push the gaming envelope by putting thousands of soldiers on the field at once. Revolutionary concept, at the time.

And: how about those old clan names, LoL?

Hehe, how about all those old patron names? It is too bad we can't read the actual threads. At least everyone I tried to look at had indexing problems. Thanks for digging that up Cat.

It's a shame about the forum not really working. I think it does after a fashion on some of the more recent archives.

I htink i remember that version just, I first joined spring 2000 i think, before the first redesign. Never realised we were linked/ hosted on swirve.com at one point. Circular world, I only just fired up a new round of Earth 2025 over there.
