Happy birthday S.T.A.R.S ... already 4 years that this forum is running!

---

wow, it passed longtime already since i started to try building a small community around DotD in 2004 , after some attempt finally I setup a forum in mid 2005 with the help of forum-motion. It was the home of the first official Dotd Clan in war3 called clan d0s . I had the chance of leading clan d0s for a year but after some issues regarding my old Bnet Account the clan has been disbanded.
But we finally continued with forming new clans : Clan SBS in northrend, clan SAS azeroth and clan ZAF northrend . We had a popular community and forum was healthy , we also had a clan map project , but after came an obscure period all clans died with time and forum has been deserted due to lack of interest of dotd players and clan members ... but some people still stayed here to post stuff and animate this forum ... after some months I also had to go off for a while due to RL tasks and Sunny_D took the flag and was main admin of the forum , keeping it alive for more than a year and thanks to our veteran Asgard_Ragna, Lisianthus, Mishotaki, parad0x ,s3rius . And finally one day clan SMG saw the light of the days . Thanks to Sunny_D i was able to retrieve the forum admin functions .
In 2008 We had chance that one guy of the team , s3rius took the liberty to update the classic Dotd5 map , to revive it ; not stopping with that , he remade on a 'NotD' architecture a new DotD version. And finally the forum raised from the dead . But we had already lost a lot of good people during the battle , we won new ones but the strange thing was that Sunny_D disappeared from our screens , no one know what happened ...
Gaining more popularity , it have been a renewal for this community and the forum with new objectives . A few weeks after , s3rius took the lead of clan ZKS in Northrend after some months a new clan was born clan ZDC in Azeroth thanks to Mishotaki. Lisianthus actually is running a new map project called IOTD . From my side i am preparing the upcoming future Starcraft II community and forums on professional servers . The history doesn't stop here , i think that if we help each other we can make something really good and start ambitious project.
That was my point of view of what happened, i m sure some veterans will say some stuff

Thanks a lot to everybody ,to our moderation team , to you for reading this and for posting and coming from time to time read and react to weird stuff that people are posting all around


now Champagne !!
