In 2026, SorceryNet celebrates something truly special — 30 years online.
Three decades ago, SorceryNet began its journey. What started as a small online community has grown, evolved, and adapted alongside the internet itself. From the early days of dial-up connections and IRC chats to modern platforms and new generations of users, SorceryNet has remained a constant: a place for connection, community, and shared passion.
Reaching 30 years isn’t just about longevity. It’s about the people who made it possible.
Over the years, thousands of users, contributors, moderators, developers, and supporters have shaped SorceryNet into what it is today. Communities form and grow. Technologies change. Trends come and go. But what remains is the spirit that started it all — bringing people together around shared interests.
A Look BackWhen SorceryNet first launched in 1996, the internet looked very different:
- Websites were static and simple
- Forums and IRC were the heart of online communities
- Social media didn’t exist
- Broadband was a luxury
Yet through all that change, SorceryNet has continued to adapt, rebuild, modernise, and keep moving forward.
Looking AheadTurning 30 isn’t just a celebration of the past, it’s a launchpad for the future.
2026 will mark a renewed commitment to:
- Modernising infrastructure
- Improving reliability and performance
- Enhancing community tools
- Preserving the history that brought us here
Most importantly, thank you.
Whether you joined in the early years or discovered SorceryNet recently, your participation is what gives this community life. Thirty years is a milestone very few online communities ever reach and it wouldn’t have happened without you.
Here’s to 30 years of SorceryNet, and to many more to come.
