By any other name, would the board smell the same?

I tried to look this question up on the search feature, but when I put in "xnations" well.... every post came up.

Sorry if this has been already said, but what is the "story" behind the name "XNations"?

Just seems kinda "odd" to me that people in Montreal would have a pirate themed message board.


:D

I don't mind answering that question again. :)

XNations was conceived in the spring of 2002, and came to life on the net in late August of 2002. I just thought that the name xnations could be something that webmasters who work in "x" could gather to, no matter where they came from "nations".

As for the pirate or sea-going theme, well I originally wanted the X to be like on a treasure map where X marks the spot where the treasure is, and then my designer went a step further with the whole motif. But I think it's one of the best, if not the best designed adult boards out there. It makes this place unique, as do all the custom hacks.

That's the story! :D

I agree, I love the design and theme.

I know you use to work with WRP and I know Danny has a huge hard on for sailing in the Caribbean so I was wondering if that rubbed off on you in anyway.

I actually remember signing up here when you first opened. I don’t remember if I ever posted, and I also don’t remember what username I used. I kind of forgot about this place since then, but Dan_CamZ reminded me and here I am.

Thanks for sharing!

Cool when there's a good story behind the name!
