It was quite a time. Nearly 20 years of Yu-Gi-Oh! Man, now when I think about it, I grew up on this show. After so much time, to see again Yugi and Kaiba back to back, it is as tense as when they first time faced off! Those were simpler times. You have ATK and DEF and you calculate the points, with few traps here and there to spice it up, nothing too complicated, it was either ATK boost, or a simple wipe out the field thing. Nowadays, you read those effects like some people read books. Yet, after all these fancy effect monsters, to see Dark Magician and Blue Eyes White Dragon vanilla clash against each other, that's a show you don't want to miss.
I am The Engineer. Those of you who have been here before, you know that this is the master account of the forum and Amy used it in cases she needed founder access. She has put this account for me to use it and help her out back then, but I really didn't have any intentions to go back to dueling back then, helped out in few code details she didn't have time to finish up herself, but other than that, I never actually appeared myself as an active member of this community. I've been inspecting YGO lately, and wanted to come back, trying to find a community to get into. However, when I see this forum and other YGO forums out there, I have not much interest to join any of those. Large forums like DNF, pojo and some competitive like DGZ, they are all too much for my taste. Amy did a really good job here setting up everything, but this website never really saw the light of the day due to her inactivity, so I thought it might be fun to try to get it active, change few details here and there to make it simpler and off we go.
It might be wrong timing though. I see DN just went down for good, not cool. It is sad to see a dueling system disappear just like that. I remember when I played YVD, it managed through the era of KCVDS since some core YVD users still played it due to KCVDS having bad updates and lags. Still, it didn't feel good to see YVD and KCVDS go down eventually. I tried few duels on that YGOPro system back then when it came to be, it felt promising, but I was very much out of dueling at that time to continue to use it. I guess that is the only dueling system worth using at this very moment?! At least we have something other than Power of Chaos
As for the forum, most people know how it goes. I have reset all the ranks, achievements and positions. I really don't know any of the former staff members, nor if they are still active at some forums. There are always those who want to consume the product and those who want to help making it. In any case, activity goes before anyone of us can enjoy it here. That being said, if you like this place and would want to see it active, spread the news about us getting on the active road again and enjoy it yourself too. I'll give my best
