Happy Birthday ESOC!

  • Quote

Post by XeeleeFlower »

ESOC has been around for 4 years now. I thank you all for being a part of this community and helping me become not only a better player, but also a better person. I have learned so much from you all and my life has literally changed due to this site.

I believe this is the very first thread: https://eso-community.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2

This thread was one of my first introductions to this site: https://eso-community.net/viewtopic.php?f=318&t=521

What was one of the first threads you read that you hooked you in? Do you have a favorite thread? Post here!
Time is wise and our wounds seem to heal to the rhythm of aging,
But our past is a ghost fading out that at night it’s still haunting.

The "Erik drama" thread proves that most members have matured (slightly) since then.

One of the threads that comes to mind was the one about rated/unrated games. I remember sending messages to Goodspeed, Veni and others on Skype to tell them to post in the thread as well.

And who doesn't remember the good old brackets at https://challonge.com/springschampionships ? :biggrin: Of course, the finals of that tournament were an upset according to the answers in my first created thread.

But lots of memories since then. Lots of staff changes, moderation drama, upsets in tournaments, nights of playing secret hitler and watching streams, playing scenario's with friends and voice chat, moving from proboards to phpbb and so much more :smile:

Some stats:

ESOC was created 4 years ago
