Hi all BYONDers! im having a school project where i get to choose any subject i want and i chose BYOND. now, i littereally dont know anything about BYOND exept like 1/10 of the DM language (lol). so im wondering if anyone could take their time to write what they know about the history of BYOND, (it would really help!) like anyone else on BYOND i know that BYOND stands for "Build Your Own Network Dream" and judging from the name im sure that the original idea was not to be playing and making games. so please fellow BYONDers, i need your help. /Sandwiz7
