Exerpt:

Here we are, a year and half after we started working on the site, and it's finally here! We had several people join the crew and take off during the development period, but Duke4.net was destined to see the light of day sooner or later. First off I'd like to thank our director RedSplat for designing the fansite--the layout truly is spectacular. A big thank you goes to Adan0s who helped me with coding the website and solving some major technical issues. Many thanks to Moritz and our other Deutsch speakers who made it possible for us to have a German news section. Major kudos go out to the rest of the staff and fans who supported us from day one, when we launched our splash page back in 2004.

Our content:
This week, we have released seven articles written throughout the construction period of the website. The topics vary from Duke Nukem to gaming in general. You'll find heartwarming stories of Duke3D from die-hard fans, in addition to a new piece about DNF done by our very own Drazula. We hope you'll enjoy our journalists' diligent efforts in bringing the community to life with their outstading literary work.

Other new content available at the moment includes exclusive new fan art by Micki. We saved some of his best work just to show it off here, so head over to the fan art section to check out some excellent new drawings and pieces done by other talented artists as well.

Last but not least, we have some very rare Duke tunes, one of which includes a spinoff of Johnny Rivers' Secret Agent Man. Download Duke is the Man and 15 other awesome MP3 files right here!

Looking good so far, and glad to see the "true believers" have already sprouted up in the community forum.

I'm signed into the forums, but I won't be posting. My no talking till DNF is out is holding true still. Only time I'm letting it slide is this place and the random times I drag out NotWieder3DR to talk about non-3DR topics, or topics that I have to discuss (Source code releases, Wanton Destruction, etc). And even here I'm forcing my discussion of 3DR and DNF to be extremely limited.

BUT! Eventually I'll be participating. :)

At least you're there now...
Enjoy your stay there... Even though, you won't be posting often, please check out the front page now and then, since we also make interresting articles and other stuff...:cool:

The site looks awesome, definetely the #1 DNF site I've ever seen. You guys didn't forget anything. It will be even better once 3DR starts releasing stuff-I'm sure that you will have many guests and members by the time the game goes gold. I'll be sure to sign up ASAP.


Yeah, it's gonna be so weird when the day comes when Joe has no control over us finding out new stuff about DNF(because the thing is installed on our hard drives) and George can't tease us about it and we won't be seeing those three dreadful letters (WID) every other time someone makes a post on the 3DR forums.

I can't imagine actually discussing the game with 3DR employees and sharing secrets we found in the game rather than begging to know anything about the game.

It is something that I have wanted so bad for so long, that it will be rather strange (in the best way possible) to know everything about the game when it was kept top-secret for so long. It will be hard to adjust, after being kept in the dark for all these years.

But I know that day will come....eventually....and it will literally be the best day of my life. I just hope that that day comes sooner, rather than later.

Looks like the page is going well so far. Glad to see you guys sticking with it and the readership growing. Here's hoping George keeps tossing the nuggest out all year long until some real info eventually gets released. :)

Yeah, it would be nice to get some "REAL" news... That would sure attract some more visitors...
I hope that if there ever will be any news about DNF, that Duke4.net will be mentioned too (as an information source and forums to discuss in)...
