 I'm no longer active in AFD, as is the case with many others; Usenet is no longer what it once was, and if the community has a successor with any kind of continuity on some more vital platform - Discord, maybe - I haven't yet heard of it. I named this wiki the Dragon Code //Memorial// Wiki in acknowledgement of the fact that I don't know how much it actually remains in use, even on the Usenet group. If there exists a Discord- or Guilded-based successor, the code's function has probably been replaced by user role self-assignment and similar. Despite that, I remain fascinated with it and would like to help keep it, if not alive, then at least preserved. I'm no longer active in AFD, as is the case with many others; Usenet is no longer what it once was, and if the community has a successor with any kind of continuity on some more vital platform - Discord, maybe - I haven't yet heard of it.

-The sites that originally hosted the Dragon Code are either gone, preserved only by the Internet Archive, or at least no longer actively maintained. For a modern attempt to preserve the Revised Dragon Code's documentation, see Bluefire's excellent [[https://dragoncode.netlify.app/|site]], which is very faithful to the source. Building a wiki to do exactly the same job is therefore, other than my preference for the wiki format, probably thoroughly unnecessary; however, my purpose here is //slightly// different in that I will be attempting at least a bit analysis and explanation, especially of terms that might not be familiar (many of the [[DC2:species]] tags, for example, are rather obscure), and I will probably be injecting my own opinions in various places.+The sites that originally hosted the Dragon Code are either gone, preserved only by the Internet Archive, or at least no longer actively maintained.
