I was thinking that I can't remember when I first heard about this web site. It's like if it's always been there.
When was this website created? It's August 2002 the date? I took that date from Alaundo's member profile, by the way. Didn't knew where to look. |

For sure. Anyone know if it played on the forums? (or was it removed along with the addition of forums???)?
No. It played only on the main site itself.
Thanks Sage.
I wonder if it is playing in people's heads these days, which could explain the heated debates leading to numerous scroll lockings 
If you're interested, you can download the old tune from the Shrine of Milil here at Candlekeep:- http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/milil/yewtree.mp3 |

*Casts Resurrect Scroll*
I remember seeing this site when it had the background music back in the late 90s. This place is over a decade old. I felt it appropriate to bump this thread to remind old scribes and inform newer scribes just how old this site is. Awesome! |

Well thank you, Thelonius It's certainly been a fantastic journey which started what seems so long ago now. Seen people come and go and i've learnt a VAST amount of knowledge about the Realms just from these forums.
Sadly, I don't get anywhere near the time to visit and participate as much as i'd like, these days  Even so, i'll be here 'til they tear down the walls! |

Well I did say it gives only some of the explanations, warlockco Tread down the wrong corridor, shirk from Realmslore duties, and who knows what may happen  |

Worry not, Thelonius. The said posts were test posts made when the forums were first opened, which were later removed (although the post count was not amended at the time). This would explain thy strange sightings, odd noises and mysterious happenings within the halls of Candlekeep  Well, some of them anyway

Well met
Thank ye, Kajahase Nevertheless, a redesign is long overdue. Firstly to cut down on the site of the static content and have much of the material accessed dynamically. This would help a great deal with maintenance of Candlekeep as well as speed up the access and navigation of articles.
Anyway, I can ramble all day about improvements but there are Realmslore tasks to be done |

Man, I was barely online when this site launched... The extent of my Realms-related surfing was checking the Wizards site once a week or so... |

That explains why I felt like the site has been always on. My interest with the Realms returned when my group started a new Realms campaign back in 2000 using 2nd edition rules. Then came the switch to 3rd edition and a general surge in interest with Faerûn.
And while I also think that a redesign would be nice, I'm with Thelonius in thinking that this site has certain old-times charm. |

Sadly, time constraints have meant that the site is really looking its age, although a complete redesign is high on my list of things to do. |

The actual mainsite itself has been active since the late 90's as I recall. That FTP and google cache which holds all the early Candlekeep.com material proves that.
The forums came later -- between 2001 to 2002. Although I remember Alaundo saying something about the code for the forums being active since 2000.

This says the forums have been around 25 July 2001, but the site's probably older. |
