Diego Varen Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 In a few hours time, this time last year, I joined this humble home, LucasForums. I was thinking about the history of LucasForums and since there isn't much on Wikipedia or anywhere else, I want to know about the history of it. When was it created? Who was it created by? All these questions come to mind. I hope this isn't spamming, but I'm interested in this Forum's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 There were a bunch of nasty evil people who wanted to suck away our spare time. So they made this. This is a fairly standard response, but there were a few forums for various LA games back in the 90's that got merged into one by the admins of those sites. As far as I know a lot of them are still here, but most of them stick to their private forum and running the site. Over time it's evolved, new staff members have joined, some have left, and the member list has kept growing. To pay for the servers, ads were allowed here. At some point the admins formed a private corporation, most likely to protect themselves from legal liability (as a corporation counts as a seperate entity when sued). There was also a big upgrade to this version of VBulletin a while back, which resulted in a bunch of threads being lost. But it gave the forums this new interface (it still seems new to me? I'm getting old ), extra features (like bigger avatars), and some other stuff. That's really all there is to it. Unless you're looking for info on a specific community, there's not much more to say.

HerbieZ Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Adding to this. Sites like ytmnd have colossal wiki's. I call into motion the construction of a Grand Wiki of LF. It'd look acers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor beat you to it. I think it got deleted though, for not being "encyclopedic." A bunch of people tried to fix it, but I think it was to no avail.

edlib Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 "In the beginning, there was Rogue 15... and it was good..." No no no,... you have it all wrong! Everybody knows that Lucasforums is just the physical manifestation on this plane of existence of the erotic fevered imaginings in a higher dimension of the great Wally The Space Dolphin. All hail the great and eternal Wally! And his infallible prophet Zoom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 LucasForums came into being five minutes ago, along with everything else. Seriously, I thought LF was brought about at the dawn of the First Age of Modkind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Skywalker Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Great, and here i was thinking all came to be when when the Administrators where create d and one day had the crazy idea to build a crazy forum where anything could be talked about.

JediMaster12 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 That goes to show you how little you know or how incredibly sane you are. I thought that this appeared into existence one day because the Powers That Be said, "Let there be LucasForums" and voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 holy jesus, I remember when LF didn't even exist. When you had to pop back and forth between forums. And I haven't even been here since nearly the start... Has it really been that long? oops, did I say that out loud... *hurridly relurks* (p.s. everybody knows that Rogue 15 is, like, God. Everyone in the know, at least.) (p.p.s. Legends of the Spam? Isn't that a specific GB legend? Too lazy to read it and verify, I don't think I had a satisfactory role in there anyway ;d) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It talks about the other forums too and was written by members from various home forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I remember reading an article about LF which is where i haered about it.
