The first communication addressed by 3dfxzone.it to its users, dated April 14, 2001, has over time become a sort of "programmatic manifesto" and also an emblematic repository of the guiding principles at the heart of 3dfxzone.it's mission. The following words, published by the founder of 3dfxzone.it, Giacomo Usiello aka Glide, in the news section of 3dfxzone.it, fueled the commitment and dedication of all those who, over the years, have worked voluntarily and proudly contributed to making it possible to continue 3dfx's work, starting exactly where it had inevitably stopped.

But being passionate about 3dfx and acting according to the methods that characterize the action of 3dfxzone.it and its community cannot do without a broad passion, which includes the realms of software and hardware in a general sense. Thus, from its first year of online existence, 3dfxzone.it has paralleled the type of daily publications, including textual content, articles, news, and freely downloadable binary material, alongside the channel focused on 3dfx, with numerous other thematic areas related to the three main gaming, hardware, and software segments.

The first homepage of 3dfxzone.it published in 2001

Starting in 2001, the user base of 3dfxzone.it gradually expanded, encompassing not only owners of 3dfx Interactive products but also gamers and general PC users. A specific editorial choice, driven by the need to structure the content to offer readers, while optimizing the presentation and ease of access to information, identified the definition of a network of websites - most of which are thematic in nature, connected to a particular technology, brand, or specific area of Information Technology - as an additional growth opportunity for 3dfxzone.it itself.
