Today is the official ninth birthday of Blue's News, as it was on this day in 1996 that the site moved to its own domain. This makes the original site (blue's 3D House of 3D Carnage/blue's Quake Rag) something over 10 years old, but I'm not exactly sure of the launch date beyond that. As is always the case, contemplating such commemorations fills me with gratitude, I would like to thank all of you who have visited and contributed... There are far too many folks from over the years to thank individually, I can only hope that you all know just how vital you have been to the success of this site.
