Speculations on the History of IF; A theory in the making

I often wonder if there are some interesting stories behind the scenes and in the making on IF. What lead to the creation of IF, what happened then? As far as I know, there was never really any recorded history?Eh, who knows. Talk about what you think happened. It can be funny, or it can be realistic. Say what you think, even if you honestly dont know. Have a go.

The staff forums hold quite a lot of history actually. You can see where it started as a small service and really expanded. And the trash can holds a lot as well. Probably the best source is this forum. If you dig far enough you'll find some great stuff.

The very first topic in the Staff forum:

December 30, 2002: Welcome Seth And Sprocket

the staff forum and trash can are for staff only of course. but IF Discussion is viewable to all. just set the topics listed to the beginning and go way back and you can see quite a lot of events that occured.

Naturally.

But I'm talking about before there was even a forum here. You guys didnt just find this forum? Unadministrated and with the Admin Accounts password? IF wasn't always around? Right?

In that case, you will have to check out the IPB history as well.

Not only that but the online list would say:

X moderator(s) active in the past 15 minutes

funny because everyone would be the same, since everyone here owns a board... I hope so anyway :shifty:

Well I suppose if you were able to... you could find out the history and events on the IRC... if anyone goes to it that is...

If you go to here:
http://support.invisionfree.com/index.php?...ast_post&st=160

This shows the first announcements that can be recovered on IF. They teach you about how we got google advertising and that this didn't start on IPB v1.2! woo what IF was on I dont know but I'd like to know


Ahh... It also shows how friendly Brandon was then :) I want him to stay like that really... Formalness doesn't suit me really.

Brandon's not so much formal as he is busy. Seth's idioquote is filled with bad puns by Brandon :P

And it was 1.1 I believe. I came around the time when 1.2 was developed and released for testing etc. IF upgraded late fall of that year.

Do you know why there is no topic 1? And it continues that way until 20,000 . Although some topics exists in between those two

Why didn't Invisionfree keep upgrading IPB software? Why did we stop at 1.3?

I love looking over archives. Everybody just seems to nieve. :wub:
