Hey Tengaged! I was bored and thought I would work to put together a timeline of major Tengaged events. These include updates, special stars, changes in moderation, and #1 rankings.
My knowledge of Tengaged history isn’t very great so if you see any mistakes or missing information please comment or mail me!!! I want to make this as accurate as possible so that future generations of Tengagers can look back and reference this :)
If you ever want to access what Tengaged used to look like simply put a link into this website: http://web.archive.org/

So weird to think about how long this place has been around. Despite it being dead af I think it’s really nice how this community has grown and evolved over the years.
Omg!! Wow hahah I did not expect you to go this far and this deep on this, let alone so quickly -- this is awesome! Really great work, I wonder how much this could be built out even further with like the implementation of Guitar as a challenge, when certain songs were added, etc. You've got me tempted to do more research now lmaoo even though I really shouldn't spend the time on it.
Great stuff! I thought our conversation in that game was pretty fun but figured the idea of a Tengaged Timeline would just be one of those things that fizzles out without really being actualized, so I am so happy that's not the case!
Omfg wait and is this for real from an orange level who's played 4 games all of them in the last, like, week??? Or have you been around longer on some past account haha. cuz that's sick.
LOVE how you have links citing things in the longer version, too. Definitely really good stuff here and I imagine that with even more time and effort this could be built out even further -- which I say not to devalue how thorough it already is but just to say that the thoroughness got me excited and makes me want to track down other dates, lol.
I was on this site A LOT in, like, 2009-2012 (and for some years after that, too) which is when I was around 13-17 years old, super formative and early social years obviously, and so long ago now that everything on here is basically like a past life and it's kinda just a hazy, vague, amorphous sea of memories rather than remembering all the specifics and particulars -- so being able to fit specific dates to exact changes in the game formats and all that, seeing that Survivor really started as early as 2009 in my first year on the site and all that, is really, *really* cool and interesting stuff since we're talking about memories of, like, the core social sphere of my teenage years lol. Being able to put it into specific terms like that is great.
I'm definitely gonna link this on my profile. I'm not around much anymore but was VERY active here back in the day and can imagine some old friends of mine might glance at my profile some time or another to see if I've signed in, and if that does happen months or years from now, I'm sure they'd get a kick out of seeing some of this, too.
If I end up finding specific dates of more things I'll absolutely let you know.
