In May 2005, Maple story came out of BETA and with it, Ossyria was released.

Shortly after being released, I discovered the town of El Nath. I though it was the best town in Maple story, so I created a website called El-Nath.net after it. I slowly added the Arcade, followed by the Battle System and finally the Pets system.

Not many people joined, mainly because no one knew about the site, but in in August 2007 I struck a deal with the creators of Bannedstory, and that was to be the primary host for the BannedStory files. I placed links everywhere on the BannedStory download page that would point to the El-Nath.net download page. The El-Nath.net member count skyrocketed, reaching 1,000 members from only 500 members within days.

After a few months El-Nath.net started becoming inactive again, mainly because everyone in Maplestory joined and then forgot about the forum.



The Summer School Holidays started in December 2007 so I then created a project, Maple-Records.com. A project which I initially created in January 2006, except back then it was Wiki-based and had no signature generator.

In January 2008, Maple-Records.com was released. I then added a link at the top of the BannedStory download page which consumed most of the little (If at all any) traffic the forum was getting.


Yesterday I changed the download page to point to http://maple-records.com/index.php?bannedstory=true , a more effective download page and which also finally pulled the plug on El-Nath.net.

With no traffic and with a dwindling member activity count, El-Nath.net appears to be slowly dieing. From now glorious 30 users online per day, we are only at 10 per day.



Although I have a proposition to make El-Nath.net active again, and that is to unfortunately merge it with Maple-Records.com to hopefully gain popularity. Although I will not do it without member support, so please vote in the poll above. This will either ruin El Nath, or will turn it into one of the top Maplestory forums.
At the start we did Smegas but that really didn't work. People are too wary of keyloggers.

The site will stay the same, including the battle system, the only thing that will change is the forum name and the layout.

Well I'm not sure what we will be losing here if it does merge...

Will we still have the battle system? Cause that was the one reason I came here.
But anyways, I'm willing to risk that if it means more members.

I think that you should get people in Maple (like me) to smega it so then people will be interested and will check it out. I have already spread word in my school so yeah. Also I have some questions.
1. Are you the guild leaders? If so can u accept my friend darkpowerz request?
2. how much money does it take to make a guild?
thats about it

i think the better idea is to merge with maplerecords because el nath is really an inactive site.... with not much people going on alot. if jioning with maplerecords will increase activity, i support it cuz el nath will still have most of it there.... im sorry about this quick.

I honestly do not know what to do.

If I merge, then El-Nath.net will be gone forever and there'll be a chance of the forum still being inactive with a Maple-Records.com merger.

On the other hand El-Nath.net will slowly die...

I really don't know. Maybe I'll just make an advertising banner on Maple-Records.com which will link to El-Nath.net
