Sonikku, you really did catch me at the wrong time with that post.
Its 6.31am and i am destroyed, pulling an all nighter on the history section. I thought i could put the extra effort in and have it ready for launch, but no way on earth that is happening. No Way. At 5581 words, i am only at the end of 2004 after the whole Louis hacking incident, and in the middle of the promotion of Shenmue Online. I haven't even captured the various screens. I humbly apologise that it wont be complete. Not even half complete before launch, but i will put a note on it, that it will be constantly worked on in the coming days, with the aim to be completed asap with top priority.
Also, thank you everyone across the entire forum for the messages of 100% support. I have been prepared, and still am, for the worst, but the messages so far have been jaw dropping for me. Especially when being deep into this sites history for a week now, the feels on my end are a crazy batch of emotions on so many layers. I have even read my own posts whilst going through the history, from when i was with my first girlfriend, taking a holiday to Balckpool and walking to Alien Dude (QWERTY) when i got back, Bluecast was actually such a normal, cool dude, Silas turned 40, i had internet issues, i walked for the first time when Teepo was allowed back here, Whiteshadow became admin and helped get this place back on serious track after the whole HellRaiser incident of 2002, Ryo's Place and the Hazuki Dojo, LanDC going ballistic (which time?? Still love you Matt), the power struggle........
Thats just to 2005. Only another 13 years left to cover.
