Its almost 5 years ago this site saw the light of... well you
know the big internet lamp or something. It started out as a simple HTML site
with links to all available Palace info. The idea behind the site and the name
was to combine and unite Palace people and make sure people knew where to find
each other and the information they needed. A bit like the Palace directory for
websites but with a forum.
The old Palace Planet logo made long before the Palace
troubles started. Still pretty cute I guess.
At the time there was nothing like this and it took forever to convince people
it was a good idea. Even then most figured it was more fun to make theyr own
site and have PalacePlanet link to it. Only a few months later disaster struck:
communities.com decided to stop Palace developement. A few old Palace developers
who had united before this decided to make theyr project the center of Palace
survival.
The Palaceplanet site was put on hold and we all worked hard to make palacetools
a big succes. Sadly for strange and untold reasons the palacetools group decided
to kill itself. All members got "fired" and the site with list ended up with a
few people who really had no time to maintain it all.
Time to pick up the Palace Planet idea. After 9 months of hard work and learning
some basic PHP in 2001 Palace Planet turned into a giant community portal. Many
people volunteered to help out, but sadly only 3 people actually suported the
site by donating work.
In the 5 years Palace Planet has been alive it did pretty well, almost all links
and downloads on this site have been up to date and the forum is still used by
people who need information. A few years ago Palace Planet got over 100,000 real
visits a month, but the Palace community is declining and many new people
decided to re-do whats already here. Splitting up the community even more and
making it harder to find anyone to chat with.
With any luck Palaceplanet will be there right till the end of Palace. lol
Link for life: a logo designed to get everybody to link up
because the Palace directory had gone. Note: Not sure if anyone cares to celebrate this, feel free to post suggestions in the forum.
