Learn your history - Tales from the greats

[Abdoun_bacK]

Thank You, first off, I must say, an Epic Read. Iam goan make this short and sweet, I loved how you were very detailed about every event, made you feel like you there.

September 2002. Battle Grounds.
Probably my most fav. thing of my entire history in this community. BG. With that place, there's only one way to look at it: you either love it or hate it. No inbetween, it seems.
The day that the SenshukenTaikai forum went down. Dark Masta and I decided it was up to us to save what was considered by most members the best part of this community: clans. How could you not love them?
Some people saw it as a senshuk rip-off, and in some ways it was. We did have the most important sections senshuk had(the clan sections) as senshuk did, but we didn't care what ppl thought(why would you care what ppl think if you've never even met them?) In those days, DM had very little web/forum design experience, and I, to this day, have none. The few times I did attempt web design I found the experience to be trite, and extremely boring. Just not a field of interest of mine. So the first few forums BG had were...well..funny. I'm sure you know, unless you've been living under a rock, BG has had more than it's fair share of rocky moments. We've been up...and down...and up...and down. Sort of like a roller coaster. What can we say? Neither DM nor myself had the experience and skills that Quass and Zing have. But we were up to the challenge. The first year was bumping as hell, but we're doing ok now....right? =/

You guys did and still are doing an AMAZING job, a little too good to say. BG was the very first fourm i joined, back in 03, wish you guys still didnt delete all the accounts.

with all in all said and done, Thank You.
