An EoFF Timeline - Classic members, please help!

[White Raven]

Since my return of regular posting here a couple weeks ago, this place feels a lot different from what I remember. I think it's the low concentration of 'quality' threads and the flood of non-serious members.

Although it just might be me. :P

Anywho, I would like to create a timeline of EoFF's existance, and create era's of existance. Like split the timeline into distinct sections when the forum was significantly different from other times (certain users not around anymore, new concepts, etc...).

So this is where all the 'older' members need to help me. Any input would be appreciated.

I joined in 2002, so I can help from about then on.

I think for each year in the timeline, you should document which admins/CKs were there. Because we have a ton of new CKs now, so many of the old ones are gone/retired. Just a thought. Also, maybe include what forums were there that aren't here now, like the Homework forum, etc? I can only think of little details at the moment.

Dec, 1999: the beginning (EzBoard)

I don't remember exact dates for anything else. But sometime early in '00, EoFF got the name EoFF. And soon after that the website went up. And then in the spring/summer of '00, EoFF moved to a UBB. Someone else will have to provide more precise dates.

Thanks Rye for th input. Now that I had time to ponder aboot it, I think I'll do it by year, perhaps like so:
DEC 1999 - The Creation of the EzBoard
JUN 2001 - Member(s) to join: Raven
DEC 2002 - Member(s) to join: Rye

Or something like that.



**edits** It'll probably be better if I add months... too be more acurate and such.

Didn't know such a cool thing existed, thanks BoB, that'll keep me busy as I procrastinate for my philosophy exam.

*looks at registration date*

I am so raw that I started posting before the board was even created.

I registered in October 2000.

Please don't include when members joined. Nobody cares.

[Raistlin]

I agree with Levian. But if you're going to include members, at least just include the bigger names (Dr Unne and BOU - December, '99; Bleys - early '00; etc).

This thread is really helping that "low quality thread" problem.

[escobert]

Dec. 1999 - March 2001: The Dark Ages; bunch of crap happened that no one cares about; the board was reset about ten times.

vB2, Golden Age (March 2001 - early 2003): Good members; good (spam) threads; Unne and Bleys were admin.

vB2-vB3, Age where things start sucking again (mid 2003-present): Feedback forum is corrupted by newbies; bad (spam) threads; .
