5 Years of the Forums...

Of course we’ve reached the stage where KN is five years old- but we can’t forget the forums being on their fifth year as well as the network in general. Grancko is here to cover the best of the forums year by year.

2006
We know that 2006 was where it all started- first topics, first members, first posts, etc. It all began with “BOARD ONLINE!!!” (http://z14.invisionfree.com/KNIGHT_NUI/index.php?showtopic=4) by member #1, Toaroni. This topic was simply a short celebration of the forums start- starring Roy-X25, Pegma and Axle417 who unfortunately, have all left us.
A valuable mention to TR’s favourite test accounts: http://z14.invisionfree.com/KNIGHT_NUI/index.php?showuser=11 http://z14.invisionfree.com/KNIGHT_NUI/index.php?showuser=32 and a more recent non-test account http://z14.invisionfree.com/KNIGHT_NUI/index.php?showuser=300
