We thought you might like to know that today sees the 7th anniversary of Micronations.Net, which started out life in a slightly different form back in January 2002 as the Micronational News Network. You can read all about its early years in this article of ours.
It has to be said that last year saw what was probably the most significant one-off change in its history, when the majority of its management decided to retire and take it down with them. Happily, a new site was established within a week of that happening, while a replacement forum was swiftly established by others. Although the previous site only survives in part via the Internet Archive, the forum did at least eventually reappear as an archive, while the original sites and forum have remained continously in the same original ownership.
The new setup has brought its own advantages, with the site using Wordpress, allowing better integration of the continuing MNN news service, and inspiring new peripheral services such as a radio station and a forthcoming store.
So here's to another seven years of Micronations.Net.
