EHM The Blue Line

On this day 10 years ago The Blue Line started as a simple Geocities site indexing links to various EHM 2004 addons along with various addons I created (a Red Deer Rebels facepack being the first addon I ever created). Three EHMs and one FHM later and the site is still going strong. I hadn't really expected the community would last very long after EHM 2007 ceasing development in January 2007. However, thanks to the DB work of Alessandro, Devils88, Lidas and Manimal and all of the people who have helped them over the years, we've been able to keep the game going all this time - and of course there are some brilliant retro DBs care of CJ, Nino, Lazion and Pens (apologies if I've missed anybody from this list). Of course none of this would have been possible without Mne2's Pre-Game Editor.

Thanks to the help of numerous Admins and Mods over the years the site has continued to run smoothly - AndyJayP, B.Stinson, Batdad, Bruins72, Calv, CatchUp, Devils88, JoeHelmer, Lidas, Manimal, Minstrel, Shadd and Tasku. I should also say a huge thank you to Octavian who provided the server and domain name and got the site up and running all those years ago.

So enough of the "speech" already! Many thanks to everybody who has contributed to the community over the years; whether that be by posting on the forums or sharing addons, mods and tools. And it goes without saying that we owe a huge thanks to Riz, Graeme Kelly, Juni, Ter and all of the guys at SI Games.

P.s. sorry for how cheesey the first post is!

Congratulations to The Blue Line, Archie and all the contributors... One decade down, hopefully a few more to go

Congratulations to all of us!

Let's hope for ten more years!

Well said!


And a special thanks to Archi for all you've done/do (like starting TBL! and keeping it free of adds! and the Updater! and more!)

And still as pants as the day it started <3

Congratulations ! The Blueline community has really kept the fire burning for Eastside.

.....and technically you'll help keeping it alive in the futur also.

Congrats to all those contributed and keeping the games going all these years. A very dedicated and passionate group we have here.
