(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.

Friday, 31 January 2014: PowerHour turns classy (https://redd.it/1wj3or)

April 1, 2015: TubeNami ends. Not a joke. (https://redd.it/315mhf)

Saturday, April 11, 2015: Dallas Stars meetup (Redtoxin, Grambulaman, Drywin, Worldtrekka)? I think? Drywin drunkenly upgrades Retro to Green on PowerHour CyTube and regrets it forever.

28 May - 1 June 2015: EFNW again!

Friday, 5 June 2015: PowerHour hosts "Use 40s Wisely" night to celebrate the estimated 150th PowerHour (nobody kept track) (https://youtu.be/WBjyGkRmlag) (https://redd.it/38lb28)

6-9 August 2015: BerryTube hits BronyCon with its Holiday Inn "Fun Cave" (https://redd.it/38lp5q) and a contingent 25+ strong. Retro gets bodyslammed by Redtoxin because Malsententia couldn't drunkenly figure out how to make the laptop play on the TV (http://vault.berrytube.tv/picture.php?/5298/category/143). The afterparty had PikaPetey, TAPS, StratchAttack, and a tattoo artist. The Scotsman was swept up into BerryTube and never heard from again. The Beer Mile was never completed. The Bar Crawl was a blackout mess. WhatsApp highly successful; to this date a dozen or so of us still communicate on the "Side Chat."

Saturday, 28 November 2015: Retro, Theri, Ti_Deltas. and a few others make shitty drunken haiku again (5 pages).

~December 2015: Chrono, as is appropriate, finishes & implements the PowerHour countdown timer plugin to CyTube. Drywin misses calling the shots.

Friday, 1 January 2016: Retro, Theri, and nlaq make shitty drunken haiku again (2 pages).

Saturday, 2 January 2016: Tommyspud introduces shipping wheel.

Saturday, 9 January 2016(?): klossi becomes a shitty spike!
