Oblivion

The Nexus 10 year anniversary

  • Comment
This week in August marks the 10 year anniversary of the Nexus sites. I launched Morrowind Chronicles at the age of 15 back in August of 2001. What started as a general purpose news and information site for Morrowind has now spread in to a multi-site network of mod databases that are some of the largest modding sites in the world. I feel a great sense of achievement and pride for this great community which is a testament to some great games and some great modders. And what's best, I feel like I've only just started.

Looking back it's very easy to fall in to a nostalgic day dream of all the people that have come and gone over the years; some are still with us and lots have moved on in the constant ebb-and-flow of this community. Looking far, far, back I remember fondly my time working with the doomed MEMod team. Some of the best banter I've ever had. Feel free to share some of your experiences in this community.

To the Nexus *raises glass*.

    Not only a glass should be raised but a great hurra!! If it wasn't for this site I might have not replayed some of my favorite games of all times due to the only thing I had no more things to do. Also I discovered the mods here and all that came with them. Thanks a lot Nexus and cheers!

    Thank you for giving us years of modding fun! I never forgot my first download back in 2006 (under a diff usrname) for oblivion! Since then, FO3 and FNV. Now I'm married and my wife sometimes use this site. May the nexus grow further and here's to the future! *glasses chink*
