This thread is very simple, the history on how you got here.
I'll start.
May 2000 - I got a copy of Star Trek Armada for my birthday from a friend. I initially thought I wouldn't like it, but that changed after playing it for a little while. Not long afterwards I upgraded my PC to run the game better and I eventually started to mod the game and joined AFC. My first mod was to add P81's Dauntless class to the game and after that I added the Galaxy class.
26th June 2001 - Armada 2 was released. I bought it the day it came out in Australia. I was dissapointed with it at first and did play it much after I got it and went back to Armada 1.
July-August 2001 - I went back to Armada 2 and eventually it grew on me and I started to mod the game, like I did whent I first got Armada 1.
September 2001 - I rejoined AFC after it upgraded.
September 2001 - April 2005 - Started to know some of the regulars at AFC, this included Syf, Elrond, Hellkite, Borg_Queen, Blindeye, Harrie and so on. Also during this time I started the Mirror Wars mod. Later on Syf suggested a merger with his Federations mod and the Microverse Team was found, Syf, Zered and I were the Co-Founders and later members like Icewolf and Atlantis joined the team.
April 2005 - Joined in the Legacy RPG on AFC and I was Syf's Engineer and then First Officer after Elrond was promoted.
May 2005 - Co-creator with half a dozen other members of the Shattered Frontier RPG. Thats the first time the USS Midway came too creation, though she wasn't as as advanced in that RPG as she is today.
June/July2005 - I create my first forums (Majestic Downloads) on the 1-2-free-forums server. The server was slow and was using an old version on the phpBB forums software so it didn't last that long. In the same month I joined Elronds forums as one of his first group of members. Also during this time I along with Syf, Elrond and Zered started up Red Ash which was originally called Legends of Atlantis.
August 2005 - Majestic Downloads was moved to the forumup server. I and my staff manually repost 90% of what was on the old forums. During it's time the site expanded and really boosted in members. The USS Midway RPG was born and still lives on today, the ideas for the RPG came from many people here.
October 2005 - Majestic Downloads (MD) was renamed to Majestic Sci-fi Central (MSFC).
December 2005 - The forumup started to have server problems. The server problems had been going since around October/November 2005 and didn't effect MSFC until early this month.
Janurary 2006 - It was time to upgrade. The forum up problems were just too annoying so I started looking for hosts.
Feburary 2nd 2006 - The day that I paid for a web server and a domain name and I started working on the new MSFC here at www.majesticscificentral.com. I used the phpBB forum software.
April 2006 - I did a massive update over the Easter break. I dumped the phpBB software and bought a copy of the vBulletin software. I also installed VBadvanced and included a downloads section. I promoted CaptSyf (Syf) from forum moderator to Administrator and my second in command. On the 2nd of this month I joined A2files forums after visiting it for years.
Also in this month I started Parallels a mod for Star Trek Armada 2.
September 15th 2006 - I started Yesteryears, not long afterwards Syf joined me and started creating models for the mod, I then dumped all the models that I had converted from SFC that were going to be used in the mod.
November 2006 - All Microverse projects were put on hold.
9th April 2007 - Easter had just gone and I decided it was time for another massive upgrade for the site.
Well thats my story whats yours?
