3 years for a caveman is a long long time. Just think of all the people you have shoveled and knifed over the years
I believe the Ville is actually getting real close to being 6 years old, or older. I will have to dig through and see if I can find the Ville history post I did some time ago and perhaps try to refresh it.

If you follow this link, you will find some of the history of the Ville that I had recorded......I think I am about 5 years behind right now
http://www.theville.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=553&highlight=ville+history
A quick excerpt, but theres lots of good stuff in the post
-August 2001 - Servers renamed to The Ville
-July 2001 - Avantiville 3 is added. (Thanks LlamaBeans)
-Mayish 2001 - Avantiville 2 goes Avanti/Warpath after trying several
different map combos. (Can you say "They hate Cornfield")
-March 2001 Avantiville website comes up - Thanks Rob.
-Mar 2001 Avantiville 2 is added.
-Feb 2001 Avantiville 1 returns.
-Jan 2001 Avantiville 1 goes DoD and is called War Wounds.
-Oct 2000 Avantiville 1 is created.
-Oct 2000 Turkeyburgerville goes away, Warpathville is tried briefly.
-Sept 2000 JD becomes an admin at Turkeyburgerville.
-Spring 2000 JD Discovers Turkeyburgerville, is hooked and spends far too
much time there. Learns all about sniping, respawn campers and some of the
perils of running a server from a fella called Eddie Munster. Also meets
some interesting people called Cadman and JohnCarterofMars. _________________
