One year ago on our anniversary, I remember the commentary many members made. Some were optimistic about Neocodex continuing its legacy, and some thought that one year of being up was too long and that we wouldn't last. All I can say is that we have lasted two years, and we show no indication of backing down now.
For over two years, we have grown from a site of 150 members to a well-developed programming and graphics community. The 450,000+ posts we have made over the years is solid proof of this. For two years, we have never lost sight of our focus: To bring quality resources to our members. We have even gone as far as creating a learning haven for those who want to expand their general knowledge of programming and graphics. We are no longer "just" a Neopets cheating site. Neocodex is more than that.
The last few months have also been a very tough time for the site, because of the absence of Hydrogen and Noitidart for some of the time. Hydro and Noit have been working very hard towards their studies in university, and they are trying very hard to make an appearance here every once in a while. Lately, Noit has been able to get computer access and help out a bit, and I am grateful for this, as running a site of this magnitude is quite difficult with a limited number of administrators on.
In fact, we realized that this is causing a problem and was, in a way, stunting the growth of the site. Realizing this, the administrators have formulated a plan to make the site more self-sufficient, so that there is not as much dependance on the administrators to allow daily events to happen. This will be fulfilled by a series of IPB modifications that our programmers will be creating, and the details on the modifications will be disclosed at a later time.
One thing I can say for certain though. The Tutorials modification will be completed tonight, and will allow you to submit tutorials pertaining to Programming and Graphics. We felt that a distinct area for these tutorials will serve to be more beneficial than just a forum, as we have a vast collection of tutorials now.
Congratulations to everyone for your collective support for the site. This site would not have gotten near as big as it has without the support of you, our members. Thanks.
Because I cannot speak for the staff on their thoughts of how the last two years have went, I will allow them to edit this post and add their comments below:
