Huh. Cool read. It's always nice when people leave the awkward and aggressively n00b phase. Not everyone makes it... 
Age, experience, and maturity can do wonders for a person's behavior and ability to get along with others (I should certainly know 
)
I can let you know what happened with RPGplanet.com. About a decade ago, we were part of RPGPlanet, which was owned by Gamespy. When they were bought by IGN, IGN moved them to some kind of management system that only properly supported sites using PHP. Since the DN uses perl, this was kind of a really big issue, causing much hilarity, such as people randomly getting logged in as other users and stuff just generally being broken. Dan complained to RPGPlanet and was met with something to the effect of, "lol, better code your site in PHP". Since doing that was completely ridiculous, Dan bought his own domain and hosting and officially moved the site off RPGPlanet. RPGPlanet continued to link to the DN for a long time afterward, never realizing that we had broken away from their dominion, even updating their news feed with gems like, "The Dink Network has a new Dink Smallwood mod called The Lost Two: The Clone War, for those of you into the Dink Smallwood RPG".
Eventually, I assume that they figured out that there was something up and broke the link... or more likely enough stuff changed on their site that the link broke on its own and they never bothered to fix it.
