64D Past, Present, and Future

Posted by Azure on Oct. 19, 2006, 9:10 p.m.

This is a special blog. FYI, we got 2000 members, it's Shadow Yoshi's birthday, and I'm feeling special tonight.

Today, you will witness the past and present of 64 Digits. :)

Nov 10th, 2004

Then, more members joined, as the site updated and gradually gained its popularity.

Nov 23rd, 2004

As you can see, the upload system was finally fixed then, as even more people joined.

The site didn't change much, until v2 came out. Hobomonkey starts the virtual quilt. News system is now editable, and the PM system was complete!

As we continue in time, we arrive to the time where Halibutski joins as the 1000th member. The reputation system that JakeX once made is now deleted for unknown reasons. Then, RSS Feeds!

[:O]

Flashback makes the poll system! Yay! Onward in time, Melee-Master, soon-to-be-head-admin, starts to plan v3, with all new functions.

The all-new 24 hour limit gets added so the examples/games gain more popularity. Then, the despised usertag gets created.

This is around June 2006, when the server switches!

This was about the time at which I had joined, and recently visited India on vacation. I witnessed as chiggerfruit became the new Comment Mod. w00t

2 months later, the HUGE DOWNTIME of 64D occurs, where the site becomes inaccessible for about 2 days. >_>

It's getting to be high tide, as Melee adds Game Tracking, the Warning System, Dynamic Imaging, and the Game Submission standards. TwisterGhost starts to play a major role in the Game Moderation, right about when the Game Submission system failed for a few days. That was eventually fixed.

Not long before, JakeX completes ColumnsX, as it becomes a big hit throughout 64 Digits and the Game Maker Community.

Soon, reviewers are made, with Arcalyth being the first.

Not even a year later, we reach our grand 2k member! Yay!

Anyways, 64 Digits has gone thru alot of change over time in about 2 years, so congrats to the 64D staff.

Bad idea to ask, now you're on flashback's blackbook, which means you'll never be a mod, and your name never comes off…

I learned the hard way.

Well, Melee is laughing his pants off right now. :P

Yeah, I think you just ruined your chances there [:P]

But yay! I'm in a blog!

Somewhat short synopsis on old 64d though. I wasn't around when v1 was out because 64d wasn't very popular (I knew about it though), when I started hearing more about it I decided to join.

Nice little history. I'm glad you like 64D so much!

Azure 18 years, 1 month ago

Yea, but seriously, the best part of 64 Digits is torturing Melee-Master. My lord, I laugh everyday I turn on MSN. [=D]

Yay for PM.

Azure 18 years, 1 month ago

Yep. With PM, there would be no Spam. :P

Haha, it was just to get you a little scared.

Yeah, flashback made that up.
