: And what exactly would you define as 2nd/3rd/4th
: generation, as opposed to first?
It's more of a category of who joined and became active in a general time period. Supposing late 97 to late 98 was 1st generation, you could determine the other ones in a period of roughly a year. I was introduced to Myth within a few weeks before or after new year 98, but never became an active member/community voice until sometime in 99.
The Mill is down so I don't know any exact dates anymore. I started making plugins and tampering in Loathing at about the time I began posting reviews and forum junk at the Mill. So I consider myself really a 2nd generation myther, though I had been playing sometime before that. I just caught the "spirit" later :)
