Four years. As of today, that's officially how long this site has been live. In November of 2008, I was pretty bored one night and wanted to make a website about my (then favorite) PC game. That night it went live on poweredbyredstoneblog.blogspot.com.
To this day, Powered by Redstone is still the single most important thing I've ever worked on. I have yet to put as many hours and (figurative) sweat into any other project I have worked on as this site. And while all other authors have left the site, I still enjoy writing for you guys.
This site started out on Blogger in November of 2008 and continued on that service for a while. Eventually we got our own domain name, and then moved everything to a self-hosted WordPress database in May of 2012, and that's where we've been since.

Powered by Redstone in Jan 2012. Feel old? Because I sure do.[/caption]
I'll be honest, I don't play Minecraft as much as I used to. I still play it with friends, and maybe jump on the occasional server every once and a while. The site itself has slowly declined in popularity over the last year as I am unable to update it as frequently as I used to. But Powered by Redstone continues to have a loyal reader base.
If you enjoy this site, I encourage you to check out my personal site corbindavenport.com. That's where I've been posting personal stuff for a while now (mostly rambling about technology), and I'll be moving some of my stuff over there in the near future. I don't work on anything else as big as this site, but I'll be posting more over there.
I will continue working on this site until I have a good reason to. And in the meantime be sure to turn off AdBlock (I gotta save up for a car somehow! xD).
To four more years being awesome,
Corbin Davenport
