Happy Birthday, RPG Maker Pavilion
Today, ten years ago, Erik Novak (Kire) started the RPG Maker Pavilion.
Technically, this wasnt the first console RPG Maker website. My own stupid little "RPG Maker FAQ" page was set up in June, and some other person from the Agetec boards had a little website set up too. But neither of those matter, because the RPG Maker Pavilion was the first real website for the series, with a serious design, an active forum, and a staff with real dedication. Since then, there have been others. The RPG Maker Garden. the RPG Maker Club. The RPG Maker Magazine. The Domain of the Nado. Probably dozens more. Only one of the "competitor" sites survived and is still doing well. That's proof of how awesome this place is. It's been five years without a new release in the console RPG Maker series, and we're still going strong. The series will continue, of course, but no one expected us to survive such a large gap between games. Even now, people are still picking up the old RPG Maker titles, either for the first time, or still chugging away, making their decade-in-the-making masterpiece, and we're still here to support them, and help them bring their stories to life. Those of us that have moved on from the console RPG Maker software, or RPG Maker software altogether, are still here because they love the community. That's something truly wonderful, and very rare on the internet, where people move on from online communities all the time. We're also right around the same period as my sixth anniversary as webmaster of the site. I'm extremely proud of my time in charge here, and I hope I've served you well. I have no intention of ever leaving this place, much like the rest of you. We're stuck here, together, forever. I'm happy with that. Happy 10th Birthday, RPG Maker Pavilion.

Re: Happy Birthday, RPG Maker Pavilion
I had intended to reprint some of the posts from this topic in the yearbook, but that's probably not going to happen with the current selection.

Re: Happy Birthday, RPG Maker Pavilion
I am really glad I am here to witness this moment. This is like a high-school reunion for me where instead of strangers I can talk to old friends. (God, I feel old)
Valk, you have done a bang-up job keeping this site worthy of its former glory. I am very thankful that this community still exists. ^Valkysas is the one with the tower of hats. ------- Who has been here since the beginning (/early times) that is still here today? -Valkysas -Karr -Me (I remember finding this link on AGETEC's forum boards, rofl) -Mora Who else?

Re: Happy Birthday, RPG Maker Pavilion
0_o, the 2003 is from the 2nd design that I had help collaberate (or however the hell that's spelled) with. I take no credit for the art, since I never did that stuff, but what we threw together, for its time, I thought was very well done.
![]() I know the old pav before that, Kire's scrappy (but awesome) site was on tripod, but I can't remember the URL. Hopefully Valk has that in his back pocket so we can see the full phases of this website over 10 years. |

Re: Happy Birthday, RPG Maker Pavilion
I refuse to celebrate the anniversary of a website that I can't seem to leave. Almost like a prison.
I ****ing hate all of you. |

Re: Happy Birthday, RPG Maker Pavilion
I didnt register for months at first (we used to allow unregistered users). Starba and Mora had to talk me into it. one of my first registered posts was yelling at sk8rdood because I thought his megaman sprites sucked, and mine were better.
my first post here was telling kire that he did a good job on the site, but that it wouldnt last very long.
