I'm not sure about
KingSam, but when I first played on a Blocktopia/TheOnes server, I am pretty confident I had a skin, so it must have been after December 13th 2009. I had definitely been playing on TheOnes servers for quite a while when I was banned on Zombie on April 14th 2010. So I PROBABLY joined somewhere between December '09 and April '10!
Any idea when the first trials of the zombie server were before the official announcement and release?
The early devs were mail2345 (developed Lava until June 2009), fontpeg (zombie dev), redshift (zombie dev, also did some lava dev?), pixeleater (lava dev after mail2345) and calzoneman.
Horrible was also a Zombie HC being promoted either at the same time as Maart3h or very soon after.
Ranavalona was promoted to Lava HC (at the same time as PYP?). Also came back and took over an incarnation of SMP for a while. (Went from Trusted to HC).
Joshuam08 hosted the old forums and was a HA or Honorary HA or Global Controller with a HA badge on the forums. When the new forums were introduced Joshuam08 didn't reappear as a HA. Not sure whether there was a formal demotion/resignation.
Jan 29th 2010 - theonesin and megatron to Controller
I think in August 2010 the order of events were week 1, TNT launched and SMP hinted at, 2nd week SMP launched, 3rd week KingSam and Arxx promoted to TNT HCs and Jabjabjab promoted to SMP HC.
Late September 2010 Arxx resigned, with a week or 2 gap between him resigning and GmK being promoted to TNT HC. In addition Zombie 2.0? was released, as GmK had been working on that quite a lot with Listings I believe.
Feb 21st? 2011 - SaltyChicken demoted from Controller.
April 2011 - Yuck resigned from HC.
Global Controller being abolished wasn't until April 8th. The demoted controllers were catgirl12466, xrat, 157359951735, Jaekza.
April 8th 2011 - Wooffus to SMP Controller.
The_Phantom was promoted to Head Admin in early 2011.
CMP introduced the Gentleman rank in February 2011.
TNT introduced the VetOp rank (Grenadier) on 11th March 2011.
The_Phantom resigned from Head Admin in early-mid 2011.
Mid 2011 - xrat, Ogarci and dirtcake to Lava Controller, Damer_Flinn to Zombie Controller.
July 29th 2011 - Alkatraz to TNT Controller, SoulSoda and EphermeralKap to CMP controller.
Sep 9th 2011 - Megatron to Zombie Controller, Ayatollah_Ali and EphermeralKap to CMP HC.
Oct 28th 2011 - Nillbugwtw to Zombie Controller, Megatron to Zombie HC.
Nov 18th 2011 - trngl to Lava Controller
Jan 6th 2012 - Alkatraz and 0x3c0 to TNT Controller
Feb 10th 2012 - Nillbugwtw to Zombie HC, IntensiK resigns, Vatumok to Zombie Controller.
Rest should be in the forum meeting recaps. I'm getting tired now!
One_one_two and AvantGarde are now Zombie Controllers.
Sploorky is now a Lava/LSMP Controller.
Ayatollah_Ali resigned from BB HC, Yuck promoted, Yuck resigned, Matt_Allen promoted, Matt_Allen resigns, Malcovent takes over.
Ultimate_Budgie resigned from A+T HC, Dragosh98 promoted to A+T HC, A+T shut down, Dragosh98 resigns/demoted.
Ultimate_Budgie promoted to AoD HC, Baker Promoted to AoD HC, Ultimate_Budgie resigned from AoD HC.
Malcovent promoted to HA, having been HC on CMP, then Primordia then SMP.
Marnixxie promoted to HC of SMP.
I think I got all the Lava and Zombie controllers and I definitely got the 2 TNT ones!
I'm not sure about SMP/Primordia, I'm pretty sure Neilson(numbers), Boredchicka, Yearly, possibly Cheeseman(numbers) have been SMP Controllers. + Wooffus and Marnixxie.
Jammy001 was an AoD Controller, Dragosh98 was an A+T Controller before being promoted.
And that's about all I can remember/look at TNT /rank and /derank commands/look at the old recaps on the wiki and reminisce tonight. Hopefully I've been some help!
