Who wants to help me remake a 'History of IRtL' thread?
Mikeee made one ages ago (there's a thread about how people were missing it down the page from this one) so I was thinking of trying to restart the project with some people who go way, way back.
If we plan this out, here are the significant events that need inclusion:
1. Why did IRtL start from TechDawg's era
2. IRtL PhpBB era - who were the big members, what was it like.
3. IRtL young vbulletin days - invention of power riders, Global ---> Elite Moderator, administration changes, TD's inactivity, the major LR breakthroughs underpinning this
4. The two rapid succession downtimes, the one where we were hacked, and the other where we were database error'd
5. The invention of iridethelines.forumotion.com
6. Returning to vBulletin for a while linger
7. The big IRtL crash that left us here
8. The possible future plans involving MyBB (?)
While I think I'm pretty decent at organising, collating and writing this stuff, I can only really do 3, 7 and 8 because those were my times. I need to collaborate with and interview people who have a little time and patience.
I'm looking for people with a particular focus on
a. The feel/philosophy of the site. What makes us, us?
b. The major Line Rider personalities and breakthroughs which defined the 'era'
c. Significant changes to the way the forum worked
d. When certain features we now take for granted came along (and some of which have now been removed), like Shoutbox, Member Awards, PoTD, Reputation and the Livestream.
e. People 'in office' - mods, admins, comings and goings
I'd love at the end to have a big post we can all be proud of. Now if people want to help with any of this stuff, please post here and we can use this thread to build that big post!

Why don't you include pre-IRTL history? A Line Rider community still existed before IRTL existed, you know...?

Naw B, the original History of IRtL didn't include the pre-IRtL shiz. (Hence the name )

Cereal's right. The plan at the moment is to start from when a group of members led by TechDawg broke away from .org, and the story around that. If we do well, then we can look even further back.
Also, Cereal, Conun, how far back do you guys go? Can you help me?
EDIT: I love the wayback machine. I've found the original verbatim quote from TechDawg about what prompted him to start IRtL!
TechDawg wrote:After I had been playing Line Rider for a couple of months, and had a few videos, I decided to put up I Ride the Lines (as I already had the domain hosting that I wasn't using for an old business site), I just need to buy the domain name. The reasoning was initially just a place to host better quality versions of my videos, as I was unhappy with the quality that YouTube and Google Video offered.
I had had quite a bit of Forum experience, mostly in the 'member' area, but also had been nearly all roles, from member, to moderator, global mod, and even administrator at a few. I wasn't completely satisfied with what other line rider forums had to offer, and knew that I would have a hard time shaping what the other 'already-existing' sites were.
All things considered, I decided, I had the site, I had some indication of expressed interest, and a base of web site knowledge, etc.. why not set up my own site?

Yes please Weebit. Thanks a lot.
However, I can understand that Hedge's documentary project might have utterly 1Uped this, so it's really up to everybody if they still think its worth doing :-)

Think we should include the incident where most of IRtL hated Wish for being "power-hungry"? I remember that like it were yesterday.

Too many of these kinds of things honestly. Play LR instead. Much more beneficial.
