Exactly 10 years ago today TMX was born!

Even though TMX existed shortly before that, we view March 27, 2004 as the day it was born because it's when tracks began to be shared. Track sharing is the lifeblood of TMX.

Here we are, nearly 860,000 tracks later.
That's an average of about 236 tracks uploaded every day for the past 10 years.

The stories that could be told are more numerous than the number of tracks shared.

Many have literally grown up with TMX. Others have just grown a little older. We've all gained a few friends, some for life. We've all made lasting memories, building our dream tracks, discovering amazing creations by others, and sharing everything.

We wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for you!

Now a new generation is using ManiaExchange, the successor to TMX, but similar in so many ways. And to many of us, it's simply a continuation of this adventure.

Thanks to all of you! You're the best community ever!

Join us in the forum for the party!

Soon ManiaHome will no longer be visible when you enter a title.

You'll still have access to ManiaHome via the "Home" button at top left in ManiaPlanet.

tm-exchange.com, which is the site for the old TM games (Original, Sunrise, Nations, Nations Forever, and United Forever) had been inaccessible for the past few days due to some domain issues.

In the meantime we had set up TMX Nations Forever and TMX United at temporary addresses, so people could continue to use those sites.

But we're happy to inform you that all of tm-exchange.com is live again at it's original address!

The temporary links will continue to work for the next few days. Here they are for quick reference.
TMX United temporary address
TMX Nations Forever temporary address

There was also an issue with new users being able to create new accounts on Mania Exchange. But that should be resolved now that TMX and it's mail server is accessible again.

Just a heads up... TMX is experiencing some downtime, and we're aware of it. You can still access TMX United at this temporary URL and TMX Nations Forever at this temporary URL.

We hope to have the sites online again at their normal URLs as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience.

The downtime is not currently affecting ManiaExchange... obviously, because you're reading this.

Update: Apparently this outage is effecting new registrations on MX. So if you are a new user trying to create an account here, you may not be able to for now.

There's a really fascinating article about how video games, specifically TrackMania, are being used to help people with missing limbs who experience Phantom Pain. Worth reading, and watching the accompanying video.

Discuss here.

Kudos to w1lla for finding and sharing it on ManiaPlanet Forum.
