Celebrating 1 year of MLN Blog

Happy Birthday


Fast and First in MLN News


The MLN blog has been up and running for the past year.
It has been a great year full of fun releases, games, miniranks, etc.
Here are some of my favorite events:SnowBrick
  • The Snowman naming challenge(In the summer he's H2O)
  • The Lego Racers Beta Testing Period
  • Beta Racers
  • The release of Robot Chronicles
  • Glatorian Arena's release
  • Quest for R2-D2's release
  • Delivery's release
  • and a lot more!Quest for R2-D2

    Still some of the best memories are from funny comments people left. Like this one by Vanderdecken12 when MLN was down for maintenance:

    Refresh doesn't seem to work anymore, but, to add some humor to this sad story, I will give my solution:
    Just cross your fingers ,plug your nose, stick out your tongue, close your eyes, put one hand over your right ear, hold your breath, and repeatedly say "please work, please work, please work" while shaking the mouse wildly. Then, while doing everything listed above (besides shaking the mouse wildly), open an internet browser (firefox, google chrome, internet explorer, safari, I don't care which), and log in. If you can do this successfully, I guarantee you it will work. :-)
    Our blog has seen a lot of improvements in the past year. Better templates and more followers, authors, contests, and quizzes! Over 230 users have signed our guestbook!

    We, the authors and moderators, hope you enjoyed this blog and will come back for an other year of fun.


    Thanks!

    Your Trusty Bloggers,

by the way, i changed my name to my MLN name because i joined the trading site. i was formerly called "delta 38", so you could still call me that, i guess.

Vanderdecken12 started this blog to help other people, like said in the header. Then after 3 months, the blog was popular then never before. Vanderdecken12 taked a new admin, me and Ekingsley. Ekingsley has 'left' the blog but is still welcome to come back. Now in October and November, we taked again some authors.

BTW, i changed all the entry from the quiz to comments. It's better...

Vanderdecken12 said... [REPLY]

Sim's history is pretty much accurate. It's hard to say how popular I thought this blog would get. I originally made it just to experiment with blogging. I actually had a poll (I forgot what the question was) and I was shocked when I saw that a few people had responded over the course of a couple weeks. Needless to say, I was thrilled one morning when I woke up and found someone had left a comment! So obviously, I didn't expect it to get that popular. Then, Sim and Ekingsley came along. I decided they should be authors when I was going on a little skiing trip and was afraid Delivery would be released while I was gone (of course, not until much later was it actually released). I made them permanent authors when I realized they were often on when I couldn't be. Now, Sim533 plays a HUGE part in this blog, and I consider him a good friend. As for EKingsley, I think he got busy in real life and had to cut back from MLN. Of course, I still appreciated his help.

So not in my wildest dreams did I expect it be as popular as it is now. I never thought my little blog would become known as "fast and first in MLN News" (a slogan Sim made up). But I only have all of you, the readers, to thank for it. What I think is unique about this blog is that it relies not only on our diligence, but on the efforts of those who comment on this blog who help us make sure the news is released as soon as we can. Of course, some of you have become authors for our site, but all of you have contributed. And for that, I thank you all.

It's been a fantastic first year. Now for year number two...

Sincerely,
Vanderdecken12

Being that those to posts are the first of at least 4 comments all using caps and all under different usernames, I have the slight suspicion that the same person is using duplicate accounts.

Do you have anything to say for yourself?
