Default Loading... Holy Hell We Hit 1,000!
It's a flashback to May 2005 in today's Loading..., when Ten Ton Hammer's daily column was just getting its start. No matter how much we and the MMORPG industry have grown in these last 4 odd years, some things just say the same. John "Boomjack" Hoskin stops by to share a few of his most memorable moments along the way, and we'll tap the Loading... archives for a few more historic predictions and palaver.

Links to two reviews, two entirely new WoW guides, and a deuce of opinion pieces... it's all in Loading... Holy Hell We Hit 1,000!

I think my favorite column was the Wikipedia one, as I distinctly remember taking the time to put together a nice little Wiki page for TTH only to have it pulled down in two days. :P

How cool is it that Loading... hit the 1,000th mark in the same week that the forums hit the 50k members mark?

At any rate, many thanks to Boomjack, Ethec and everyone who's helped with Loading... over the past few years. Loading... is what initially converted me from a casual visitor into a daily one, and now here I am locked away in the TTH slave pits! Pretty nutty, eh?

I'll have to see if I can dig up some of my favorites and link 'em in here.

Congrats on 1000 Loadings!

So are there spankings involved now? Ethec? Boomjack? Who is up first?

I'll take my 85 or so if Boom will take his 915

Seconded. I always had a sneaking suspicion it was some back room string pulling by some gold selling companies. After all, the other forum I post on is much smaller than TTH and has it's own wiki page.

Anyway, it was Loading that got me hooked on TTH way back when and I'm glad it's still around and as entertaining as ever! TTH without it just woulnd't be TTH.

Kudos to all those who have written it over the years and keep 'em coming

Incidentally... what would it take for TTH to get it's own wiki page? I'm sure we could get a few thousand of us petitioning Wikipedia to show our legitimacy.
