What is the history of Draconic?
In 1995, KaniS put up his personal web page entitled Sable Dragon’s Dragon Page. It contained his artwork, programming, other pictures, and eventually, a huge number of links to dragon sites that KaniS collected (which took forever). KaniS started work at CollegeClub.com around the same time, and by 1997 he realized that many of CollegeClub’s community features could greatly benefit the dragon community as well. He independently developed similar applications (no code from CollegeClub was directly copied) on his own server, and Draconic was launched in 1998 with an automated Links Database and user creation system. Four months later, a simple matchmaking system was added, followed two months later by forums. All of these systems were produced from scratch, before there was such a thing as pre-written plug-and-play forums and various other modules that lead to the numerous easy-to-setup cookie-cutter communities you see today.
