danyyboy67 Ha. Yeah I wasn't around at the VERY start cuz the first games were some time in like summer '08 and I was spring '09 but I was at least around early enough that design auctions (let alone shops which were added even later) didn't exist, the only game formats were castings/rookies/stars, various other changes. frats and hashtags and username mentions were all years into my activity on the site. I think design auctions were added like late '09 maybe and so still pretty early on into the site?, but shops were a little while after that?
I think Survivor was maybe added in likeee '10 or '11 like earlier than I tend to think it was but I remember that "tengaged is adding Survivor" was kind of a meme before it ever actually happened like people would shitpost about the idea of Tengaged adding Survivor or would tell new white level users that there was a hidden Survivor game or some shit. Then eventually it became real.
Castings had sooo many forms over the years I don't remember all of them, I think there were like 5? Like when I joined it definitely had no apples or keys or flash games and I think then they added one, then they added the other, but then combined them? And fastings and fast rookies were later additions too. I wish I knew all the dates and chronology it'd be neat to have it archived. But yeah there was a ton of history even in the time I was on the site
And that's just site format stuff let alone all the bullshit memes and drama
I only ever played fastings back then and didnt even look at the blogs page so I had no idea what was going on lmao but yeah it would be cool if we had everything archived so that we can tell when things changed zimdelinvasor
