The Original Dragon Code (DC)

The original form of the Dragon Code as documented here. It was created by Red Dragon, AKA Dralen, AKA Daniel Hamel.

Well, the whole history is very simple. I was on afd around the time the geek code became very popular. I decided to alter it a little to my own purposes and create the dragon code. I did that, and posted it… a few people noticed it and still use it, then I left afd for a while and, other than a couple of e-mails a few months later, that was it. Then, suddenly, I find it widely in use… *grin* I must say I'm flattered.

This leaves the beginning of the Dragon Code relatively undefined, though as both the Geek Code and AFD first appeared in 1993, it can be no older than that. Likewise, it is not clear when the original code was replaced by its successor, except that the last known update to the original was on 1997/06/03, and that DC2 was in use by 1999/07/19.
