It all started one faithful morning in 1998 while I was procrastinating through college, I think. The site used to be part of yahoo groups and there used to be quite a number of yahoo Skins communities back then. At the time, the warpath had the second biggest community but was the most active one, in meaningful discussion anyways. Then at some point yahoo bought some other company and stared messing yahoo groups. As time went by the crowd got smaller and smaller and for an off-season or so, the community was almost existent. Matty then started this site. Gradually the site increased in users but still had some issue...I remember having to register multiple times because there was an issue with the forum software. And here we are today, Matty is raking in millions thanks to TheWarpath users. BTW Matty, when are you going IPO with the site and where is Jimmy?
I'm active in this community and this community only because:
a) The site is clutter free and there are no nasty user signature banners.
b) The community isn't ridiculously big like ES and you pretty much know who you're responding to.
c) There are knowledgeable fans in here (for the most part :p)
d) Because Matty is the shiznit.
p.s. Matty, you should really write the history of the Warpath
