Part two of the project - the one that is much easier!
This is simply listing and noting important SW-Fans events, either for a board, or personally.
I will not judge on what will be here, I'll only give a kick off point. Now, if you can find a link that refers to a particular thread, link it. If you cant find the link, write your memory and the approx date.
Prefer board events, but anythign will do. Funny threads, sad ones, bad ones.
Same format as the IC one
--
Sometime 1998 - Brandon and Johnaton begin Countingdown.com, the wait and the line-ups for TPM
early 1999 - Forum created at jawafortress.net for the express purpose of tracking and arguing about the box office performance of The Phantom Menace and how it would take out Titanic.
March 12 1999 - "Darth Q" posts. AKA today Marcus
May 1999 - The first swvstitanc Ezboard. TPM hysteria at it's height.
- The forst roleplay Council created, The Sith Council lead by Itala Marzullo
- The next day, Sir Dizzy calls the Jedi Council into being. 150(!) people join up
June 6 - Forced registration of accounts
June 1999 - The Troll Wars
July 1999 - The board splits into cc.net and www.sw-fans.net
Septebber 2001 - Move to the present home.
