History of BT from what I've remembered, have looked up, and have heard

Some of this is hearsay, so please correct me if I am wrong about anything.

Also, it is far from complete, especially in the early days. If you have

anything that you would like to add, please tell PonisEnvy!

THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD

1. first games for prominent members of the community

2. Releases of Jerick's albums

3. beginning of shpony, turntable turnabout, and others.

4. Anything else you can think of!!!

until a few months into BerryTube.

 

(#3-7)The_Catman showed up here, held refuge for a couple games when mods passed

out in his synchtube, then disapeared for a few months

that we can't pin him down to an exact date.

*****

(A brief anecdote from Salculd regarding the betatesting of BerryTube)

The reason there's always a sbstare marqueeing (is that even a word? whatever)

at the start of the chat is because when we were poking around on the (private)

very first version, one of the bugs that was quickly found was that there wasn't

much in the way of message sanitation, so things like html tags wouldn't get

stripped out--you could do that with names too, which led to that second

original banner up there (yeah, I think I was the first non-cades person to

manage to break it). Anyway, someone--I think it was tom--put sbstare in some

marquee tags, and for god knows what reason this was the most hilarious thing we

had ever seen and we insisted that it be kept around somehow. This was in the

early afternoon, too, so it's not like we were drunk already. Well, probably not.
