Stomped will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember the earliest days of gaming, when Quake1 was new, there were only a handful of gaming sites, and Stomped was the big daddy of them all. Back then features like ingame server browsers didn't exist, QPlug was still a far-off gamers dream, and addons like QuakeSpy(now GameSpy) hadn't been invented yet. But there was Stomped, and it's legendary server lists. The CGI driven Stomped server lists (refreshed every 60 seconds) were the ONLY place early gamers could go to find servers and active games. Whether you "yungins" realize it or not, Stomped was a big part of the reason why Quake1's online gaming became so popular, and played a pivotal role in the early acceptance of online FPS games as a whole. Though time and the march of technology made their tools obsolete, we all owe them a bit of gratitude for what they helped create. Thank you Stomped, to me you'll always be the first Big Daddy.
