PlanetPhillip
Originally the site was known as Planetphillip.com
The site was named after, hosted, & ran by Phillip Marlowe. Its domain creation was September 20th, 2003.
Phillip stepped away from the site around ~2021 to focus on his actual life. (We wish him well.)
The alternative RunThinkShootLive.com domain was purchased in 2009 and replaced Planetphillip.com branding eventually. (Cant find exact timing info)
RTSL-VILLEs
A ville is what Phillip suffixed his Half-Life 2 mapping competition ideas. Eg:
Gravity Gunville - A competition focused on Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun as a mechanic.
Bossville - A competition focused on the concept of video game boss fights.
Etc. These date back to at least 2011.
To my knowledge their were around ~60 (I will be categorizing / listing them here soon)
