25th June 2003. The day it ended.
It started with a seemingly innocent message, entitled 'HELLO!!! I AM A NEWBIE PLZ HELP!!!!!'. Drifters around the world, being the kind souls that they are, clicked on the title, eager to help, but little did they know the devestating impact it would have. This message contained a high-level encryption virus, designed to initiate when viewed, triggering the largest catastrophe in the ADRIFT community to date (not including the uploading of Death Agency, obviously). In hundreds of homes throughout the globe, an electric ray was emmited out of the monitor, penetrating the brains of drifters, and turning them into mutant-slaves, being remotely controlled by the super-being that created the virus in the first place. This was surely the end for ADRIFT... or was it?
While this had all been taking place, you, Bob the Newbie, had been off for a pleasant camping holiday on the Upper Slopes of Mongolia. This is why you missed the blast, and came back to your laptop days later to see the startling effect it had. So resolute to the core, you decide to save the ADRIFT community, and embark upon... FORUM.
