How old is Simtrop?

[crazyyaya 4]

A quick question to anyone who can answer it. How old is Simtropolis? can anyone give a date it was started.

According to dirk, it was founded back in Nov. 2002. (I imagine that this thread is probably better suited for ST Related.)

Well, the first time I registered under a different name, there were only thirtysome members on Simtrop.......that was sometime in fall 2002.

Fall 2002...that means simtrop will be five years old, is anything planned to celebrate this?

To ST Related, as fast as lightening.  N_O_B.

The member list was reset upon the arrival of (i think) ST 2.0, which was on January 10, 2003. I consider that date to mark the start of Simtropolis as we know it, though the community itself began in earlier months.

^^^actually, it was January 11th, the same day SC4 was released. That's why so many old members have that as their join date. Most of them were members at the old SC4 Discussion Zone that got their accounts transfered over here.

If you count SC4 Discussion Zone as Simtropolis, than it is around October/November 2002, though I don't know the exact date. Rybolton and dirk do, though. Where are they anyway?

D'oh, i had that in my original post but I second guessed myself and edited in the wrong date

And I didn't know that accounts were actually transfered, I had assumed that members had to re-register since post counts were not kept intact.

They may not post much, but their hand, especially Dirk's, is very much visible all over the direction SimTropolis has been taking w/ SC5, Monte Cristo, and staffing additions.

The Poets (from here) might have something planned

Hard to think I've been ehre for four years.

I remember getting in a big arguement because I had problems installing the BAT software, and I was gettin' impatient.

Ahhh, the memories. I was, what, 12?
