Enjoy reading this mate:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetcricket

It gives a chronological history of PlanetCricket put together by Ste and I. (and I think Colin maybe)
Keep posting your timelines!

Is it about time to add a chapter on TCP? Or is that to be done after its release?

 

[The Spin]

Would have to be done after its release. It could still do a Cricket Master

 

[Ritwik]

I don't mantain a diary and don't remember exact dates, so the following is a general account of my activities at planetcricket with reasonably accurate timeframes over the past 4+ years.

Dec 17 2001: I join BLC ONLINE forums as "ritwikgames"

most of 2002: I become a "heavy" poster as c2002 is announced and its development cycle continues. Sangam gives me charge of c2002 online as a result of my activity in the forums.

2003: Continue to work on c2002 online site, facing up to stiff competition from Vineet and company at cricket2002.tk, who were doing truly extraordinary work for the game.
Like all other c2002 fans, I wait breathlessly the entire year for their MEGA PATCH, which eventually meets the same fate as Duke Nukem Forever (nudge nudge wink wink!)

late 2003-04: I think the time period is accurate but not sure, but Ste, Sangam and I think of moving the site away from sports-gaming.net. We had started outgrowing their hosting package by then. We change hosts frequently - shifting from 1t3.com to different servers sourced by sangam's "friends".

2004 - Site is got running again at full speed. Cricket 2004 is released, becomes a hit but doesn't create the sort of "mass hysteria" created by c2002 or which BLIC 2005 will eventually create. cricket2002.tk finally dissapears off the map and PC is left unchallenged ! (save for cricket2004.co.uk)

The next year, I was really inactive due to senior year pressures and am just now sort of rediscovering PC. It has been a happy and gainful journey so far!

I enjoyed reading your timeline Drewska. Perhaps a bit short.

I would like to see a few more timelines being posted in. I'm sure a few more people out there would have wonderful timelines of their stay at PlanetCricket! Update them as you go.
