Hi Guys, Ye old owner of FFXIDats Zenith here...
I just wanted to stop by, say hello and give my godly blessings to all...
As of late I have been a little bored and googled FFXIDats to see what you have all been up to... and I'm a sad panda.
Whats with all the flame wars?
FFXIDats was started to bring the dat community together, to Create, Comment and Contribute was our motto. Shame on you for letting this die

I have stumbled across many small dat related sites all in some way using our original name to advertise what they do. They may not look like us or even function the same way our site did but the fact is these people care enough to not let it die.
Yes we where the biggest, yes we where the best, and yes Square Enix totally hated us and called us hackers but my god we where a strong group of friends all with the same interests and we where what made the site strong!
I think it would be amazing and an honour to have every dat community site use our name in their logo or domain as a reference and new term to FFXI dat modding. I think it would be even more amazing if you guys supported that rather than supporting FFXIDats as what it once was.
What better way than to celebrate what FFXIDats was than to have a load of sites named after it? And you guys can sit strong knowing you where part of it from the very start!
I still own FFXIDats.com and will direct it here (facebook page) until I choose otherwise.
Never Forget : Create | Comment | Contribute!

I only hope this helps to strengthen what the community once was. Good luck with the site chaps
