I can't believe 10 years have passed since fans began abandoning the D&D message board forums at Wizards of the Coast. A series of attempts at upgrading the site had been highly unpopular with fans. WotC's decision to eventually shut down the forums a few years later came as no surprise. At the time I had tons of posts there and it was a vast source of resources for D&D fans. More importantly it was a community where friendships were being made and ideas exchanged. Many were worried that all this would be lost.
Fortunately Ashtagon came along and set up The Piazza to be a home for fans of all the D&D Worlds. I wrote
more about the Piazza Phenomenon back in 2009. The Piazza is still alive and kicking today!
Happy 10th Anniversary! I hope to see more of you joining us in the future as well!

Hip hop hooray! It's been a good ten years, don't you think? Lots of new friends, even more old friends, and some great discussions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for inviting me to join The Piazza, way back in 2008!
