DHG Through History

The Hive is the alumni home for Die Hard Gamers (DHG), and this is its museum. The community's old websites, preserved from the Internet Archive and browsable page by page: the 2010 forums, the Enjin years, the divisions and squads, the GameBattles teams, the guestbook, and yes, probably your old profile. Nothing here is live. Everything here is real.

Before you wander

How the museum works

Every exhibit is a preserved page, shown as it was captured. Buttons and forms are disabled, and links only work when they lead to another preserved page. Images and styles mostly lived on hosting that no longer exists, so rooms can look weathered. That is not a bug. That is what fifteen years looks like.

Each exhibit carries a banner with its capture date and a link to the same page on the Wayback Machine. Once search engines finish crawling the museum, searching your old gamertag will find your old profile; until then, start from a roster or forum page and follow the links.

Spot yourself and want a page taken down? Say so in Hive Ideas and it comes down, no questions. This place exists for the people in it, and that includes the right to leave the frame.

2010 · where the web story starts

DHG Headquarters, the early years

The self-hosted forums era of dhghq.com, then its long Enjin life: news posts, the code of conduct, join pages, and ranks. Community era only; the org's current site is not part of the museum.

2010-2011 · the ambitious one

DHGGaming.com

Divisions, squads, the GameBattles teams, the MLG Dallas fundraiser, and the affiliates wall. It was hacked in March 2011, which is what pushed everyone over to the Headquarters site. The domain came home in 2026; the site lives here now.

2011 · the migration notice

The original Webs site

The free site where it all started. Its front room is still being restored from the archive; the forums door is open in the meantime.
