Five Years in Heaven

Unread postby Angelspit » 14 Mar 2006, 21:35

I don't know when Celestial Heavens opened exactly, but the former administator told me it was sometimes around the release of Heroes of Might and Magic III. That means the site has been online for more than seven years now, either at GameSpy or at https://www.celestialheavens.com. The reason why I am mentionning this today is that my work on the site started back in March 2001, shortly after the publication of the first Heroes IV screenshot. I can't believe it's been five years already. The scary thing is that I never spent more than two or three weeks without updating the site myself.

Oh well, here's to another five years!
I'm on Steam and Xbox Live.

I'll drink to just about anything, provided it's quality stuff. ;)
But seriously - here's to another 96 years of fun (in 2102 we're going to be clobbered by an asteroid apparently).

Congrats of course. And who was the previous administrator?

PS. Mentionning is not a word :).

Luverly gin and tonic for me, please. Or a drop of Southern Comfort. Either will do.

I believe his handle was Belanus. AS might still be able to contact him.

I think it is very good to mention that, because you Angelspit are a person who is trying to make this place better.
In fact my first visit to celestial heavens was in 2001.

Great work and keep it up!

Never knew the site ever had another admin before Angelspit...

A reply on the Praise Thread got me thinking... Where will we be, in relation with CH, in another 5 years' time? Ah... time goes by...
