It is correct. The article was initially prepared for the site Descent Chronicles, which merged into Volition Watch. The use of "chronicled" was a signal that the article was about the recent community history, rather than the website itself. With so much happening in different places out of sight (on listsrv, not forums and on "Descent" websites), there was some concern the gaming community would lose interest before the release of Silent Threat and user campaigns. We had a flood of people discussing whether FreeSpace could survive the competition of first person shooters. So I started trying to use the news page and articles for those just joining the community or not on the community developer's lists. These concerns led to consolidation within the FreeSpace community and the creation of VolitionWatch. - Zarathud 19:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
