The IFHistory™ Handbook
Topic Started: Apr 23 2004, 10:57 PM (2,567 Views)

IF, always and everywhere
[ *  *  *  * ]
The IFHistory Handbook is the name I have given to my work in progress. It begins in September of 2002, somewhere around when IF came into existence, and ends today.
Some of the facts included in this handbook are previous and current staff, their dates of promotion, their original names, and more. It also lists important events in IF History, such as the Great Server Crash on November 22, 2003 and the Pink Revolution on April 1, 2004.
It's jam packed with so much history that people never knew that I can't fully put it into words. Beginning tomorrow, I'll supply samples and excerpts from this monumental piece of work.

I'm hoping all of InvisionFree can enjoy learning all these facts they never knew (except for the staff, of course).

Regards,
James

Great work, James. I can't wait to see this, it sounds great and I am sure you worked very hard. It sounds like your going to be the top concern by the people facing you in the IFT rounds. >_<

That has already been discussed, and Yoda doesn't mind.

You sure?
I don't want to ruin IFT, because I, for one, enjoy it so much.

It might be about two weeks. I am going to write a rough draft, then edit it, and then go back and fill in exact dates and fine details.

Here is what I have so far. I still have a lot more to go, as this is the beginning. It is also the Rough Draft, so don't expect perfection yet.

InvisionFree
The Complete IFHistory™ Handbook


-Creation
InvisionFree was created somewhere around September of the year 2002.  The founders were a pair called DuffMan and Subwoofer, now known as Nick.  InvisionFree, or IF, came about from the original IPB (Invision Power Board) code.  DuffMan modified the code to suit the duo’s needs.  That was the beginning of what was to become the best free forum host on the net.

-Old Staff
From the creation, many staff members came and went.  Seth and Sprocket were the first Support Teamers.  Sprocket is today a normal member, but Seth has evolved into a Community Administrator.  Soon after came Devon Aster.  Devon also receded into the ranks of a member.  Jeff_Thomas was added to the Skinning Support Team, but is now just a member.  The team included only three members.  Dranzer, who changed his name to Gundam Fury, is no longer staff as well.  Bloke was added to the Support Team, but isn’t any longer.

-Current Staff
There are quite a few staff members of old, and some are fresher.  DyNaMiX, who is now Nathan, was once on the Skinning Support Team, of which there were only ever three members.  He is on the Support Team now.  Quizbiz was the final one on the Skinning Support Team.  He has become Support Team.  Jeremy, previously known as Magus and deVillefort before that, was once on the Support Team, but has know changed over to the life of a Community Moderator.

I still have a lot more to go in the Current Staff paragraph, and a lot more paragraphs after that.
But I'm pleased with the good start I got.

The second paragraph seems a bit dull but I assume when you finely tune things it will be better.

Great job, James.

You do seem to have been fairly repetative with the staff paragraphs there James, perhaps each moderator could have their own profile or something?! ;)

That's a great idea, Smithster. James, I agree with him, do something like that I'd find it much more interesting and easy to find out information about one person instead of reading through a couple paragraphs. :yes:

Twilight is upon me, and soon night must fall.

psst. The pink revolution originated back after rory went from grey to pink. And your forgetting lightsup55 who was admin before seth even though seth was the first staffer hired, according to his post in iftrivia 2. :) Keep going though.
