Hello everyone! Today we are celebrating the 14th anniversary of this place. Yes! It has been 14 years of modding, production of tools, resources, maps, tutorials... and so many events at Project Perfect Mod. All for a place that started as a merely mod project for Tiberian Sun that was supposed to be made with 'everyone's idea'.
Unlike last year, we do not have a birthday present for PPM, this time. I've spent the whole month trying to clean up PPM from error 503s messages. I've reached a stage where I don't know what else can be done to fix this issue. But I'm a creative person, I know I'll eventually come up with a solution at some point.
This does not mean, however, that PPM has not changed positively in this last year. We have officially expanded our site content into non-C&C games since last birthday. The Community News Tracker has been improved and it is being quite successful and, despite the current low number of news posts at the main site, we are still showing a lot of activity in our both News Trackers at the top of the site, spotting the latest progress in our hosted projects, as well as in the upcoming Ares 0.8 (which has released its second Release Candidate). We also are showing the latest resource submissions that are worth to be downloaded or used in your private or projects. We've also brought in smaller features, such as the News Cloning Vats, new CAPTCHA, our new download system and much more.
But what makes this community work well is your participation at the forums, submitting resources, mods, tools, games and helping our other fellow members to improve their skills. And during all these 14 years, we thank you kindly for your contribution to the success of this place. If we are 14 years alive and there are many other years to come, it is mostly thanks to all of you.
Happy birthday to PPM and I hope we all enjoy this place for many other years.
Oh... the cake:
