Summary of Content

A well-organised (for its day) collection of Creatures COBs, hints and tips.

History of Website

The Norn Society was founded in 1997 and quickly became known as one of the leading community websites. Unfortunately, it shut down on 26 July 1997 due to problems arising due to arguments between the creator of Nornfamily and the author of a pre-release tool called NDBase which did much the same thing. Screenshots had (perhaps unwisely) been displayed on the website which did not represent the final user interface, and which looked remarkably like Nornfamily.

Ironically Elisabeth Witek and DanB - the programmers involved - sorted out their problems fairly quickly, but the site remained down.

Interesting Facts

  • The Norn Society required registration, which put off a few people, including Lummox JR.
