On A Day Like Today...

[MY85 offline]

Since LF is already 1 year old, I think a thread of this sort could be pulled off. Just to remember that a member joined a year ago, certain threads begun, certain events, banned people, etc. Kinda like a biography thread.

April 23, 2005:

Several members joined LF, from tears_run_cold to Yizzy.
Threads were starting to appear, it was a bit empty, but we managed to enjoy the site a little bit.

Do we have to name a specific date?

Anyways, this is my timeline for the build of the LyokoFreak Empire.

1) Code Lyoko is Released
2) Members start coming on TvTome
3) The finish of season 1, and the long starvation period inbetween season 1 and season 2
4) Our dear Erynn creates the site and forum, and starts advertising for it, ad a few members join
5) The TvTome empire crashes, and the CNet site is built on the remnants
6) Several more new members join and take base there, while others migrate to CNet
7) After the confusion dies down, posters are banned one by one, and retreat to LF
The site grows in size, it's dvertised even more by word of mouth, and slowly nearly all the original TvTomer Vets are at LF.
9) The news of Season 2 and little releases are given, and both CNet and 10 LyokoFreak go through the first Noob Tsunami
10) Season 2 is released, and now a steady flow of noobs are coming in, and a river forms. Now come in regulars from that flow of noobs, some ranking along with the vets.
11) The break between the two release bursts of season 2, where the flow of noobs dies down, then suddenly increases. Lyoko Freak becomes stronger as a community, and the CNet empire starts to slowy crumble. At Tv.Com, it's said Mobs broke out, and many users promised to eave the site for good, and did.
12) The Freakers are slowly starting to close themselves off, as the last members of the first bang (The switch) and the second bang (The period from #'s 6-10
13) Season 2 ends, and the steady flow of noobs comes in. From the period between the end of the first famine, (Between 3 and and the end of season 2, the forum's member population hasdoubled, and the site's size of data itself has tripled, and nearly quadrupled
14) The second famine has begin, the gap between Season 2 and Season 3.
15) The times switch around that Code Lyoko is aired, and the schedles are thrown off. Peope are missing their second doses of the code, and start to build up the user community again.
16) Code Lyoko is swiched to the earliest time, showing the fall of interest between cometing with Zatch Bell, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, And the new episode releases of Totally Spies.
17) The Lyoko Freaks Announce the one year birthday of the site, which is now considered the most extesive and most popular Code Lyoko Fanite, run completely by fans. The main competitor, CodeLyoko.com, is excluded because it is announced as the official site, while this remains the more informal site.
18) Popular activities are the Documentaries by TB3, the beloved member who Hails from Whales, th new three part Party series from X1 and Agent_Marquez, who have currently joined together as a joint prodution company, and the most extenive Season 1 episode 1: TeddyGozilla Screenshot Library is Created.

And I give you my timeln of LF's history, and al the causes that led to this expanding empire.

Heh... tomorrow, the Freestyle Bulls**t series will turn one year old.

The point of the thread is to post what happened during today last year, get the idea?
