Latest revision as of 17:07, 28 March 2021
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.

THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD
1. first games for prominent members of the community

2012-09-15: /r/futurespike created, frenzyfivefour joins
(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.
