The beginning...
Pumpkin Patch - or NBC.net - was launched on 2004's Halloween.
The purpose was to provide the NBC fan community a website where
they can post their Nightmare related works, and that is frequently updated.
I think we've managed to achieve both, thanks to our registered users there are continuous updates,
almost every day, and there is an update summary posted every week.
The first few months...
In the first month we mostly had downloadable stuff, such as wallpapers,
avatars, icons, cursors, a WAP section - which still counts pretty unique -
with downloadable ringtones and background images for cell phones, and so on.
Then these were extended these by a Fan Fiction section, where other fans could submit their own fan writings,
and a few months later a Fan Art section as well, for their drawings, photos, etc.
Thanks to them now we have thousands of these works. Thanks! 
A few weeks after the Japanese release of Oogie's Revenge (back in 2004), we made a section for it with everything you would want:
gameplay videos, song lyrics, and even a walkthrough.
Now it has even more: an Oogie's Revenge screenshot gallery, featuring hundreds of game shots,
all this making us the biggest online Oogie's Revenge source.
We also have several quizzes, both TNBC and Oogie's Revenge based:
"regular" ones, and script based ones, with all difficulty levels to test your knowledge!
The first year...
As the time passed, we also added some additional sections, such as the Online Games,
featuring games like Kidnap Sandy Claws, where you can test your mouse/kidnapping skills,
or the Patch Piano, where you can learn to play some of the NBC songs.
Now, after two years...
I admit we've gotten a bit lazy about making new sections and stuff like that,
because we're getting a lot of fan submissions every week, and even that keeps us busy.
However, I try my best to make up for this by rolling out some cool new features once in a while:
the Triple Triad game, where you can play cards against other members,
or the whole new site system and design (which was supposed to be a birthday surprise,
but it turned out we had to move to a dedicated server because of its high memory usage, so it got delayed),
packed with a lot of new stuff, like the Fan Videos section, Nightmare 3D section,
member collections to show off your own and keep track of what you'd like to get, awards which you can
get for your fan submissions, friends lists, and a lot more!
Well, that's all for now, I'll update this when something important happens!
