The Nexus 10 year anniversary

[Dark0ne]

This week in August marks the 10 year anniversary of the Nexus sites. I launched Morrowind Chronicles at the age of 15 back in August of 2001. What started as a general purpose news and information site for Morrowind has now spread in to a multi-site network of mod databases that are some of the largest modding sites in the world. I feel a great sense of achievement and pride for this great community which is a testament to some great games and some great modders. And what's best, I feel like I've only just started.

 

Looking back it's very easy to fall in to a nostalgic day dream of all the people that have come and gone over the years; some are still with us and lots have moved on in the constant ebb-and-flow of this community. Looking far, far, back I remember fondly my time working with the doomed MEMod team. Some of the best banter I've ever had. Feel free to share some of your experiences in this community.

 

To the Nexus *raises glass*.

I imagine that by the time I'm 30 (I'm almost 25), the Nexus will have expanded to over 20 different game databases. Here's to the future of the Nexus.

Congrats :D and thank you and everyone(ever) involved for making this site possible.

Heh, my bookmark for tesnexus.com still says "The Elder Scrolls Source". Didn't realized that this site had so much history before that though.

Congrats.

I remember it as The Elder Scrolls Source. Then I came for Morrowind mods. Now I'm here for The Witcher 2 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Congrats to 10 years of service to the modding communities, and I hope the Nexuses will stay and expand for at least 10 more years!

Gratzzzzz.....

 

You guys just blow my mind. The dedication of the modders in this community humble me. I am NOT a modder as I am an idiot when it comes to computer stuff and have only been using this site since Fallout 3. I really have NO IDEA what I would do without it. The content added to the games put the 'Official' designers to shame. And THEY are getting paid for their work.

 

Heres to another ten fruitful and successful years.

 

THANKS FOR ALL THE TIME AND DEDICATION YOU GUYS PUT INTO THESE MODS. I JUST CAN'T GET THE TRUE FEELING OF AWE I HAVE TO COME THROUGH WITHOUT SHOUTING!!!!! LOL!!!!

 

YOU GUYS ROCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
