I'm Confused about the beginnings of CnCNet...

[hifi]

Seems everything has been said about the origins by Nyerguds, Tore etc. so I don't really need to add much, just chime in.

 

I wrote the first cncnet.org history page long ago based on my personal experience and the current one still reflects that a lot as it's based on the old content which Tore improved at some point. I guess Grant did some touching up at the time the current page was released but the majority of it is still original. Getting it cleaned up and improved to credit the original folks more is certainly something that should be done with screenshots and everything. Might be fun to get some quotes of people who were involved back then to make the history more alive.

 

CnCNet has moved forwards on its own weight when new people started contributing and working. Almost everything that is CnCNet 5 is from FunkyFr3sh, Iran and Rampastring. Historically rverything web has been Tore and now lately more Grant. My job has been to just run the servers and shout at people when they do things against my will which usually just gets ignored.

 

I'm really proud of everyone as CnCNet has turned into something no one could have ever expected. When I came in, we started from peaking at 20 players into 200 at the end of CnCNet 4 (if I remember correctly) and now we're up to over 500 and the record is over 600.

I looked into my old logs, and it seems I didn't actually include cncnet into my patch before v1.06c. Though it's always been linked on my site, and I know I linked to it with the releases of my earlier patches too, especially on the old EA forum.
