Deep, R51, deep.
Actually I found it very interesting, considering that I came in time for CoN4 and never experienced the previous versions of the site. Â Too bad though, wouldn't you like the Imp to be around for 5 years? Â Anywho, it's great, go read it. Â Now! -------------------- I find your lack of faith disturbing... |

CoN3!! I remember those forums, and the main page news under the Sabin pic. I've been around a few years now, and I'll be here longer. Too bad I never saw CoN1! I did sign up on the first day of CoN4, though!
Great stuff, informative and interesting. Keep CoN going for years, if not just the forum if you get bored of managing the site itself! -------------------- Lou: There's a couple of guys fighting down at the aquarium, Chief.

Yes. I remember seeing CoN1 or CoN2, whichever. One of those was my first, they're so similar and I was such a "young'n" I can't really remember if I saw both or just one of them. I didn't sign up for the forums until CoN4 during the "chat era", cause I'm lazy. Oh well, having AOL and going to the FFIII MB paid off, now didn't it? Heeey, let's get some CoN1 and CoN2 message board skins! Bwahaha.

Boy, CoNHistory was more humorous than informative. Â And now I've seen the picture of CoN2, I seem to remember perhaps coming across it somehow...hmm...

/me has just reread the article.
Man, it's great to have this history here. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing that we don't all experience enough in our daily lives. I myself can remember every bit of that article (easy, since I wrote the article and was there for every step of the site, I guess). But what's even more special to me than that is the indestructable links between CoN and my real life, and the feelings I have had, from pride and joy to frustration and apathy, over these five-plus years. I just want to say how happy I am to have all of you here and sticking with me. Thanks. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

Just read the article. It's nice to now of the rich history CoN has gone through. Good ideas and ones that didn't fly, and here we are today. *sniff*

OK, the update is now complete. You can re-read the original, which had just a few minor tweaks, or you can get the all new "Best of CoN5" version.

I remember seeing Gerad's posts a long time ago before I was a member. He hasn't posted in a year though...

Little late, but bravo, chief. Happy to be on board Narshe Starship. Or is it Narshe Airplane? When did it change?

Okay, so this is a morbidly old topic, but hey, sue me. I sta down and read the history while in the thrall of another insomnatic night and I must say, bravo. I didn't realize just how much this site has changed over the years, well, the obstacles rather. The dedication you have to this is astounding, Josh and really, I applaude you for standing fast in your project. One day my children, and my childrens children will visit the CoN archive or super conducter powered virtual reality system or whatever crazy technology will be around when we're all geezers.

Wow, CoN really went through some changes before i got here. I don't think i've ever seen anything like this, it's really cool.

Wow. Dedication, that's what the history says to me. Combine that with the ability to take a hard, honest look at what needs to be changed, while not losing what the site was always about...awesome. I'm looking forward to what the future brings.

Ahem. Great interview at Cartoon Dragons! Speaking of, it led me back to CoN to once again relive my youth reading the CoN history.
