Default In October RPGWatch Turns 10

October 1st, 2016, 00:52
In October 2006 we made the RPGWatch site public, after leaving RPGDot in the not so capable hands of Jolt. How should we mark this moment in time?

The exact day was the 17th of October, which was marked by this newsbit from Dhruin at 23:36 (CET): https://www.rpgwatch.com/news/rpgwat…atch-2316.html

Ten years goes fast…

Did anybody ever find out what happened to Val? She was a prominent member of the Dot but never made it here.

Happy birthday!

Why not highlight some striking threads from the early days? Anyone having fond memories about certain topics?

bring back the dot. We already have a ton of JRPG news again - but we are missing the big brown backgrounds and huge banner ad taking up the top right of the screen!

Maybe magerette will be back too. And that rat in the cage. And deets…

Please bring back the old RPGDot pages - would be great for researching older games.

We're still in contact. The move from the Dot came at a time when RL training/work demanded more of Val's attention.

Happy Birthday. At first I just came here to find out about rpgs I didn't know about. Now I feel like something is missing when I don't check in once a day.

Wow, ten years…. time goes so fast! This site is a remarkable achievement, congratulations! Maybe we should celebrate with some kind of top 10 threads/posts lists or such… those things can be fun.

You can still see the old RPGDot! https://web.archive.org/web/20051219…ww.rpgdot.com/

(Just bring some patience - it can take some time for the database to dredge up everything.)

Yeah, that's what it looked like
I have a database up to June 2006 that you can browse through, including the forums. That is, when it ever gets online…

Oh, those were the times… I see Baldurs Gate 2 mod review there! Broken Hourglass and first Witcher news. NWN community interview… The golden renaissance. Those were the happy CRPG + TES/Gothic days when only bugged Gothic 3 bugged your mind…
