    No, that's silly! Everyone knows the community slowly and gradually evolved from a jumbled, disorganized, primitive mess into it's current highly-advanced and developed condition. Of course, this took quite a lot of time for this to happen.

    Good question. I think one is 'Nelson' as he is one of the longest time members. The other one I really don't know, also because the join date isn't always correct. maybe tosa himself?

    No one really seems to know what happened to him (and those few who might know, clearly aren't talking ). I believe he dropped off the radar quite some time ago. In fact, I think he was gone before I even stumbled onto this place--at the very least, I don't think he was posting anymore by the time I joined up.

    There are Dan conversation logs in TosaInus database.

    Last time I spoke to him was April 2003 when the domain name had to be renewed.

    I don't recall Dan to be posting much in his days either. Here are some posts: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=774 https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=20

    Note that this forum doesn't contain every post ever made at org. The posts from some old boards are lost (first was an off-site I think, the second may be too odd and the third was lost due to host move). A year and a half of speculation and other interesting posts are gone, including many Konnichiwa...Ja mata

    As I recall, Shogun Total War missed its release date by at least 6 months and possibly almost a year. It was released in mid June 2000. A demo had been out for quite some time before that. Tosa and Kraellin figured out how to make new maps for the demo using the undocumented map editor and later Rob wrote a program that allowed these map to be translated into a form that could be used in the full release game. Several of these maps became big favorites of the multiplayer community.

    I remember when Shogun was released that membership registration at the org had to be suspended for quite some time since the system couldn't handle all the people who wanted to join. I got in under that wire, but Obake didn't and he had to wait a month or more to register.

    By late fall 2000 there were over 100 players in the multiplayer foyer every weekend, and that contined until MI was released in late summer 2001.

    This is truly sad. I can recall some of those ole overly long overly detailed ;) Grognard threads. H I didn't even know what a Grognard was until I stumbled onto the Org.

    Hmmm...

    I wonder if the Org's creation in relation to Shogun's release is some sort of record? A whole year or more before the game was released. Gotta be a record for the times.
