Entropia News Network??

ENN is dead. Long live ENN

ENN was formed in about March 2007 by Antoine. I joined in April 2007 or so. As you mentioned the site was hacked, and we moved to another web host but lost almost all the old files. The leader went inactive and after a lot of unpleasantness I sort of led a mutiny 6 months later and created Brainstormers. (Dave's advice - never play the game with your finger on the soc term after drinking a bottle of wine). There are some members in B/S with roots going back to ENN - most notably Larkin and a few others.

ENN was based on a great idea - to be an independent news source in game. There were plans to set up a writing academy and to work up a web site etc. But real life got in the way and we all got a bit older maybe.

 

Working for ENN is one of my fondest memories. I traveled into space to interview NEVERDIE (twice), got published in The Calypso Post several times, won a few photography competitions and started what was supposed to be a regular EU comic with Antoine.

ENN was a great idea but Antoine did a great mistake: hosting the website for free on a server managed by a not so responsible friend of his. After the files were lost, a small group of reporters and I struggled to keep afloat with new content, reuploading as much as we had backed up in our own computers.

Antoine basically disapeared from EU due to RL issues. I was the last VP who sank with the ship. I continued with my life and came back with a new account (deleted the old one out of spite).

Later, after many V.U.s, I became disenchanted with this milking machine of MA's and left for good. I just came here for ol' time's sake.
