>In the beginning, there was only darkness...
In reality, the road to /frz/ started several days earlier. The unofficial start of the Frozen general on /co/ began on December 1st with a thread (https://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/56540484/#56540484) that started a link chain that would lead uninterrupted to /frz/ six days later. These threads, typically known as the "pre-numbered" threads, numbered 12 in total (including #00 made by Frac). Several Frozen threads existed before the "pre-numbers" and after the movie's release, but these all either died before bump limit or were not continued in a new thread. The "pre-numbered" threads were unorganized and though there was an attempt to make an OP pasta, it didn't catch on and the various OPs continued doing their own thing. During the later threads of the "pre-numbered" days, Elsa/Anna shipping intensified leading up to "Tangled 2 - Frozen Boogaloo" (http://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/56694726/#56694726), the first thread to start with elsanna and shipping in general. Interestingly enough the term "elsanna" did not appear until "Frozen Thread" (http://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/56644133/#56644133) four threads earlier and originating from fanfiction.net (and most likely tumblr before that).

{Week 1 /frz/ #1-30 - 29 Threads (Also takes into account missing #27 which be made up in another week) *Note: Week 1 is 3 extra days longer than the other Weeks*}

>The Birth of the Pasta
Though not the first /frz/, #00 "Frozen - A Sister Just Like You" is made by Fractals using the copypasta created by Three-Links in the previous thread.

---THE GOLDEN AGE---
The Golden Age of /frz/ lasted from it's very beginning until the first major shitfest incident. It was during this Golden Age that /frz/ developed into what it would be remembered by those who were there. It also saw the establishment of some of /frz/'s most influential members and autism. Many of /frz/'s most influential fanfics were born during the Golden Age as well as many of the unwritten "rules" and "tenets" that /frz/ would hang onto. It also was during the Golden Age that the "old establishment" of /frz/ was molded and created, the "old establishment" being the anons and nicknamedfags who built /frz/.
When looking back, the "old establishment" praised the Golden Age for being a time when /frz/ was friendly and peaceful. Though it was true that /frz/ was less hostile and more peaceful than in later periods, /frz/ during the Golden Age was certainly not without hostility. Shitposting and trolling were common during /frz/. The general's young age was both a blessing and a curse. Bait was easily taken, was not as obvious, and /frz/ anons had no common defense against shitposting. However there was no established order trolls could attack and not many known weaknesses and sensitive issues shitposters could take advantage of. This of course changed as /frz/ developed as a general, like all generals on 4chan.
Another characteristic of the Golden Age was the lack of order. /frz/ during the Golden Age was a complete free-for-all. There was no communicating, no emails, no planning, and very few anons had nicknames. Without any major drama, /frz/ ran smoothly. Aka, there was no metashit to create drama.
/frz/ during the Golden Age was significantly slower than later in its later life, but it still generated huge amounts of OC, some of which would fuel even more OC in later periods such as the r9kelsa AU. It is also note worthy that from the beginning Elsanna was the dominant ship and that Hans had quickly become unpopular during the beginning of the Golden Age.

>/frz/ is Born
On a quiet Friday afternoon, Three-Links creates the first true Frozen General "No one cares about Anna Edition" and thus /frz/ is born.

>Frozen Fractals is Born
Fractals posts the first chapter of Frozen Fractals in a pastebin during /frz/ #2. At this point, /frz/ has no idea of the ride that's just beginning. The post receives little attention.
http://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/56720173/#56725354

>Greytones Posts First Art
Greytones posts his first piece of art for /frz/ during /frz/ #3. A legend is born, despite not being refereed to as Greytones until /frz/ #38.
http://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/56730600/#56743851

>Ice on the Rhine
During /frz/ #7, geopolitical talk is initiated by the future rhineguy which eventually becomes Ice on the Rhine. Autistic historyfagging becomes the norm. http://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/56789199/#56797078

>The Hans Subversion
Hans finally manages to subverts Three-Links as OP. /frz/ #10 & #11 are both dedicated Hans threads. This is the only time Hansfags have successfully subverted /frz/ with the exception of /frz/ #35. The seeds of hate towards Hansfags are planted during this time by Three-Links that eventually grow into almost universal hate of any kind of Hans-themed thread. The result  of Three-Link's actions are thread wars between Hansfags and the established OPs that take place later in the life of /frz.

>Final Copypasta Transformation
For /frz/ #14, the OP copypasta is modified to its current form. Only the fanfic pastebin and the thread theme were permanent features at the time.

>The First Tangledfag Raids
Rapunzel avatarfagging begins during /frz/ #4 and lasts until deterring out during #8 due to Tangledfags being butthurt that Frozen was more popular than Tangled. Though minor in comparison to future shitposting, the First Tangledfag Raid marks the first large scale shitposting of /frz/. Also during this time, the Ice Trooper label is first adopted and the "Elsa hair-clipping" shitposting reaches its height.

>Numbering Begins
Realizing /frz/ is going to be big, Ice Troopers start numbering the threads for the first time. The first is /frz/ #17. Thread numbers aren't added to the title until /frz/ #33 when true autism is achieved.

>/r9kelsa/ Begins
Meta-speculation on which boards which characters would visit during /frz/ #25 leads to the consensus that Elsa would visit /r9k/. The first /r9kelsa/ greentext appears in /frz/ #26 and the /r9kelsa/ AU is born. /r9kelsa/ greentext stories increase over the next few days. By /frz/ #37 /r9kElsa/'s incestuous lust for Anna has become a main theme of the AU.

>Anti-Elsanna Shipping Wars
During the birth of /r9kelsa/, Anti-Elsanna shitposting had reached it's height during /frz/ #26 and #27. It would eventually die off as the /r9kelsa/ AU took the spotlight and became the the new target of the shitposters.

{Week 2 /frz/ #31-50 - 20 Threads}

>Migration OP
A new OP emerges with his first thread as /frz/ #37. This OP will go on to become a primary OP along side Three-Links and will eventually be known as Migration. Three-Links and Migration make up the established order of OPs and rule over /frz/ until it's end (the end of Old/frz/).

>Elsa is Suffering
After being convinced to write a story based off the /r9kelsa/ greentexts, Fractals finally posts the first chapter of the /r9kelsa/ AU fic, /r9k/ Elsa is Suffering in /frz/ #47. Ice Troopers don't yet comprehend the hell they've unleashed on themselves.

{Week 3 /frz/ #51-74 - 24 Threads}

---THE REFORMATION---
The first major shitfest, /lgbt/Thursday, had brought the Golden Age of /frz/ to an end. Following another major shitfest and the banning of one of the major OPs, /frz/ suddenly had the need for order. The Nicknamedfags, using an excel contact list, started to communicate to make it through the second shitfest while there was an OP shortage. Established lines of communications among the nicknamefags were formed as was the establishing of Three-Links and Migration (both of whom were given nicknames during the Reformation) as the primary OPs. The Reformation saw the rise and eventual fall of Late Night threads which were supposed to serve as the haven for nicknamefagging and meta discussion. The Reformation was the establishment of order within /frz/ and would have served as a transitioning period from the Golden Age into a new /frz/ caused by the influx of new members following the Great Surge had it not been for the interruption of the Winter War. /frz/ had finally made the transformation to a truly cancerous general.

>/lgbt/Thursday
During the end of /frz/ #61 a small minority of fags (very likely from /lgbt/) attempted to claim Elsa was gay and that "Let if Go" was a coming out song. A shitfest had developed and took over most of /frz/ #62. Though a rather minor shitfest, /lgbt/Thursday marked the beginning of a very long and eventful weekend and would be long remembered as one of the first shitfests by /frz/ regulars.

>Shitflinging Saturday
With the events of /lgbt/Thursday fresh in everyone's mind, /frz/ was hit with another shitfest of even larger proportions on the following Saturday. Minor shitposting during /frz/ #69 had turned into a major shitfest during /frz/ #70 when several anons had expressed disgust and jealousy over the attention Fractals had having over her stories. It was later learned that some of these anons were some of our own prominent writefags. The shitfest had lasted well until the night and concluded the next morning in /frz/ #72 with many anons fearing that Fractals had abandoned /frz/ due to the shitposting over the last few days. To make matters worst, Three-Links had been banned over the weekend leaving a shortage of OPs. The events of Shitflinging Saturday directly led to the establishment of lines of communications among several prominent /frz/ members and established Three-Links and Migration as the primary OPs of /frz/. The creation of the contact list would eventually lead to the establishment of a secret society of nicknamed fags of #/frz/ that would include several prominent writefags, drawfags, and the established OPs. With an established order working in the shadows and major shitstorms happening as a result of meta, /frz/ had completed its transition into a cancerous general.

>Wandering
Wandering is officially given the name of Wandering during /frz/ #73.
http://archive.foolz.us/co/thread/57412882/#57415686

{Week 4 /frz/ #75-108 - 34 Threads}

>The #78 Do the Lesbian Miracle
Following the disastrous weekend, Three Links created /frz/ #78 after coming off his ban. /frz/ #78 was praised by Ice Troopers for being the best general since the early days of /frz/, though this could have been due to the fact that /frz/ was coming off several days of shitfests. However /frz/ was shocked when it came time to make /frz/ #80 as /frz/# 78 was still in the catalog. This was the first time that three generals had existed in the catalog at the same time. Gotta go fast.

>The Namefagging
/frz/ (nick)Namefagging had exploded during /frz/ #88 after joke discussions of a /frz/ trip to Disney World. Circlejerking among the nicknamefags would continue until deterring out during the the Great Surge SCREENER WEEK. A /meta/ fic would eventually be written about the nicknamefags though they managed to keep it secluded to the Late Night threads.

>100th Edition Hypefest
During /frz/ #95, a hype train had formed for the 100th Edition of /frz/. The hypefest carried /frz/ into Saturday morning and as a result, /frz/ #100 was made during Saturday morning EST, typically a slow time of day. This was major milestone for /frz/ and many Ice Troopers were unsure if the 200th edition would be reached or not.

>The Kristelsa/Elsanna Alliance and the Great Freeze
In an effort to appease the few and far in between Kristelsa shippers, a Kristelsa Edition was made as /frz/ #104. An alliance between Elsanna and Kristelsa was also announced. At 01:31 EST however, 4chan went down in what would be known as the Great Freeze. 4chan was visible, but no posts could be made until it came back at 13:11 almost 12 hours later. Some speculated that the Ice Waifu had brought down the Great Freeze as a result of heresy while others believed it was an act of approval from the straight Gods. Either way, /frz/ was dead for 12 hours. Most likely it was the jews.

{Week 5 /frz/ #109-150 - 42 Threads}

---THE PRE-WAR PERIOD---
The Reformation came to an end when when the Frozen screener was released and the Great Surge began. Knowing that newer members of /frz/ would be less open to the idea of meta discussion and nicknamefag circlejerking, the nicknamefags quickly brought the meta discusion of the Late Night threads to an end and hid the /meta/ fic bringing an end to one of the main autistic characteristics of the Reformation and solidifying the idea that the Reformation was mostly a transition period rather than a real era. One of the main characteristics of the Pre-War Period was the frustration among the "old establishment" with the newer members of /frz/ as they learned how /frz/ worked and assimilated. Besides seeing general activity double to sonic level speeds, the Pre-War Period also saw an increase in shitposting and trolling as word of /frz/ spread across 4chan thanks to the many new Frozen viewers that resulted from the screener release. Finally, the Pre-War Period served as the build up for the Winter War as many of the events that happened during this time (the drama with Fractals, the attention Frozen was receiving on /tv/) led to the war. If it were not for the interruption of the Winter War, the Pre-War Period would probably have served as part of the Reformation as a transition period from the Golden Age, known as old /frz/ at the time, to a new /frz/. Instead it was the transition period into the Winter War.

>The Great Surge & Screener Leak
On Tuesday the 7th of January, the Frozen Oscar Screener had been leaked. By /frz/ #116, a proper screener had been posted on /frz/. The screener release resulted in the Great Surge, a flood of new users to /frz/. Within a few days, /frz/ exploded from an average of three threads a day to six. With them came newfag ignorance and renewed anti-Elsanna shitposting that proved to be only minor annoyance to the established members of /frz/, but was still an inconvenience. The screener release also saw a rise in Frozen related threads on /tv/ as the poorfags and neckbeards over there could finally watch the movie. By the end of the week, during /frz/ #130, /frz/ had been cross-linked with the threads at /tv/. This would mark the beginning of the Winter War.

>The Daily Reminder Debacle
Following the screener release, Three-Links creates /frz/ #117 and reveals that he had been the Daily Reminder guy all along. The thread went off smoothly until mid way through, several anons started to circlejerk over Fractals after a /frz/ related picture she had taken from earlier was posted. The circlejerking had devolved into /b/ tier stalking and had completely taken over the thread by it's end. Many Ice Troopers were so discouraged that some even called for the end of /frz/. Three-Links even declared that /frz/ was a mistake and announced his retirement - though he briefly came out of retirement for a one month anniversary thread. /frz/ #117 had become the thread to avoid and it is still discouraged to talk about in the open. Posting Three-Link's Mama Arendelle Daily Reminder became a recurring joke, in which the posting of the Daily Reminder would ruin the thread it was posted in.

---THE WINTER WAR---
Late Thursday night on January 9th, /frz/ is cross-linked with Frozen threads on /tv/ during /frz/ #130 bringing the Pre-War Period to an end. This marks the beginning of the Winter War which spans from /frz/ #130 until /frz/ #146 and includes the /tv/Invasion, the Occupation, the Resistance, and the Liberation. The Winter War was a devastating event that greatly impacted the future and culture of /frz/. It solidified the established order and strengthened the communication of the namefags as they attempted to fight the war. The war was a constant reminder to those who went through it about what shitposting could turn into which developed into a sort hysteria on certain topics. Even NSFW content became less safe on /frz/ as the use of reporting to desperately fight off shitposting before it turned into something worse became more common. It also interrupted the assimilation of the newer members of /frz/ and scared many of it's older members away.

>/tv/Invasion
While there is no official beginning of the /tv/Invasion, it is commonly thought that the cross-linking of /tv/ and /frz/ #130 marks the beginning. /tv/'s presence was first noted during /frz/ #131 as were growing fears that Fractals had abandoned /frz/ following the events of the Daily Reminder Debacle. Fractals had quelled these fears with a new EiS update, however the celebrations would be short-lived. News that tumblr had taken to following EiS had surfaced and drama started to form at tumblr because someone's feel-feels were hurt. The drama over at tumblr had reached critical levels by /frz/ #134. By the end of /frz/ #134, Fractals had removed both "Frozen Fractals" and "Elsa is Suffering" from the internet declaring that EiS was a mistake. It had come at the absolute worst time. /frz/ #134 was prematurely killed by a faggot SJW janitor or mod as was Migration's new thread. /frz/ #135 itself was created by a troll. Amid the confusion over the removal of Fractals fics and renewed Rapunzel avatarfagging (which should be noted that the avatarfagging was an attempt to fight the trolls, though they were probably just still butthurt), /frz/ was overrun by trolls and shitposters many of whom were thought to have originated from /tv/. It should also be noted that there's no evidence to support the notion that /tv/ was responsible for the invasion, however it is clear the the cross-board linking incident helped set it off. As time passed, several members of /frz/'s upper hierarchy doubted that /tv/ was responsible, but continued supporting the narrative because most people act like sheep.
Despite the best efforts of Migration, the shitposters and trolls prevailed. At this point the namefags, the creative anons of /frz/, had fled and gone into hiding. It was at this time, that several nicknamefags fled to the IRC chatroom #/frz/ on Rizon.  #/frz/ on Rizon had been previously abandoned after several attempts were made to get included in the OP pasta had failed.

>The Occupation
/frz/ #137 marked the beginning of the Occupation when one anon claimed he would write the next chapter of EiS and was met with much resistance by the remaining Ice Troopers. During /frz/ #139 this anon - known as vorefag - posted his chapter 25 of EiS which turned out to be vorefic bait. The post received 34 replies, most of which were obvious attempts at samefagging. The rest of the thread was filled with obvious samefagging and shitposting. The trolls/vorefag had attempted to create another thread, however this was blocked by the efforts of /frz/ secondary OP, Arendelle's Court Eroticist. Despite their best efforts, the Occupation continued well into /frz/ #140 & #141 (which both had been erroneously numbered). To make matters worse, Migration had been banned sometime during the morning leaving no dedicated OPs left. However, the nicknamefags had already begun to organize a resistance in #/frz/. After learning that the admin of that channel was not a fan of EiS, the nicknamefags became paranoid that the trolls would follow them and decided to move to a separate server. After jumping among several servers, they finally settled down at #/frz/ on **** (>implying I'd tell you where we circlejerk). This would be where #/frz/ (aka the super sekrit OP club) would remain for the rest of /frz/ and beyond.

>The Resistance
On Saturday night, almost 24 hours after the fall of /frz/, Three Links, now operating out of #/frz/, had returned from retirement to lead the resistance with /frz/ #142. Despite the best efforts from the trolls, they were unable to derail the thread. Three-Links next unleashed /frz/ #143 Ride of the Valkyries Edition. Bait had gotten first post, but was swiftly BTFO by a janitor/mod. Vorefag attempted to derail the thread, but his efforts failed. /frz/ had returned to normal.

>The Liberation
/frz/ had been liberated, but it was not out of the woods yet. The nicknamefags stayed hidden in #/frz/ for most of the liberation period which ranged from /frz/ #144-146 and the threads were always on edge. During /frz/ #145, Fractals had returned to the thread with "Elsa is Suffering" and attempts at shitposting were made in response, but were promptly fought off and many nicknamefags returned to the thread in defense of /frz/. Vorefag attempted to make another bait thread, but this too was defeated. In a final act of desperation, the trolls took to spamming /pol/ images for the rest of /frz/ #146, resulting in many saved Ron Paul images.

---RECONSTRUCTION Period---
The Reconstruction Period was a brief period following the Winter War which oversaw /frz/'s transition away from the Winter War and into neo-/frz/. The Reconstruction was a time of returning to normalcy following the events of the Winter War. The Golden Globes helped bring new life into /frz/ only a few threads after the end of the Winter War. Eventually, business went on as usual for /frz/ though many were on edge fearing another attack. The first weekend was a particular stressful time however everything went smoothly. The Reconstruction also saw the resumed assimilation of the newer /frz/ members and by Week 7 they had settled in which marked the beginning of neo-/frz/. Finally, /frz/ had transitioned into it's new form.
From the Winter War on, #/frz/ became the staging ground for the established OPs. By the end of /frz/, #/frz/ had a complete monopoly on thread creation. It wasn't long before thread input on the topics of thread creation and the OP pasta was disregarded by the OPs in favor of input from the members of #/frz/. Even then, Three-Links and Migration preferred their own counsel keeping the OP control of /frz/ more realistically a duumvirate rather than a oligarchy.

>The Golden Globes
With the Winter War now behind, /frz/ looks to the Golden Globes with enthusiasm. The Golden Globes go smoothly for /frz/, despite concerns of a resurgent /tv/invasion which never materializes. Though losing Best Song to that loser Bono, Frozen wins best picture just in time for the newest thread. The celebration continues on until the morning.

{Week 6 /frz/ #151-194 - 45 Threads (Takes into account the #27 makeup thread)}

>The Second Tangledfag Raids
Butthurt Rapunzel avatarfagging returns for the second time starting in /frz/ #153 and develops into Rapunzel/Elsa/Anna avatarfagging by /frz/ #154. Though the avatarfagging concludes, the metashitposting it caused lingers for the next thread.

>Liberate Hans Movement
The pro-Hans movement takes off during /frz/ #185. Though annoying, the Hansfags didn't do more than attempt to get the first post with Liberate Hans copypasta. Eventually the Free Hans movement slowly petered out until it's final collapse following the disastrous events of the Hans Insurrection of /frz/ #207.

>The Bellsa Shipping War
After EiS introduces the character Bella and the Bellsa ship, fanart starts to appear and resentment of the new ship grows. After greytones released Bellsa fanart, Bellsa fans attempted to claim that Bellsa was the OTP in /frz/ #192. In an uncharacteristic move, Elsanna shippers took the offensive against Bellsa and kicked off a shipping war that devoured the entire thread. The war was brief, only lasting until the end of the thread, but it was also very intense. It was one of the first times that Elsannafags were not on the defensive.

{Week 7 /frz/ #195-244 - 50 Threads }

---NEO-/FRZ/---
A noticeable change had taken place on /frz/ following the surge of new users during the Great Surge. The newest members had finally started to settle in during the Reconstruction Period after being interrupted by the Winter War. Within the week, the newer members of /frz/ had settled in much like the original members of /frz/ had done several weeks before. It wasn't until a week later however, that the old order had finally accepted that old /frz/ was no more. It was dubbed neo-/frz/ by the established order, though thus the name was only popular with oldfags. One of the several characteristic of neo-/frz/ was a shifting of attitudes towards Hans and the Helsa ship, which had been universally hated before, and a slight shifting away from Elsanna dominance.
Another concept of neo-/frz/ was Euro/frz/. Originally a joke about the European hours of /frz/ and the depressing and cynical attitude of European /frz/ users that turned into a daily occurrence that usually went from the morning to the evening of American Eastern Standard Time. Some "Euro/frz/" members developed a superiority complex and claimed Euro/frz/ was the superior time or made claims that "Euro/frz/" was over when a thread would go to shit. These claims would of course lead to /int/-tier banter and shitposting. Euro/frz/ was heralded in by the established nicknamefag, Despair, a member of #/frz/. The OPs were highly opposed to the Euro/frz/ concept and often clashed with Despair within the #/frz/ IRC.
Another characteristic of neo-/frz/ was a /soc/ infestation. Though /meta/ talk had developed during the Reformation among the nicknamefags, they had managed to squash it and eventually keep it out of /frz/ with the creation of the non-Rizon #/frz/. The /soc/ infestations was characterized by many attempts to discuss the users of /frz/ such as asking a|s|l. Ironically, many of the /soc/-tier discussions took place during Euro/frz/ which drew accussations that Euro/frz/ was responsible for /soc/fests. Another characteristic of the /soc/ infestation was the arrival an autistic drawfag and his fans who came from /soc/. The drawfag (nick)namefagged without actually earning one from /frz/ and was soon hated by several members of /frz/ for "avatarfagging, attention whoring, and samefagging". By Week 8, the mere mention of his name and artwork (which was reposted very often by himself and others) provoked many episodes of shitposting.
Another characteristic of /frz/ was the use of Frodo spamming.. Occasionally, Frodo would ask legitimate questions, but during Week 7 the use of Frodo had reached beyond shitposting levels. However by Week 8, it had died down to the point where Frodo had become a part of the threads especially when legitimate questions were asked.
A final characteristic of neo-/frz/ was an increase of general hostility and meta posting in comparison to older times. /frz/ more often broke into minor hostilities and shitflinging than before though these incidents didn't always expand into major shitfests. They did however contribute to keeping the threads-per-day average at Great Surge levels as well as increasing the number of threads-per-week despite a general feeling that "/frz/ was slowing down". The reasons for the general hostility aren't clear, but most likely have to do with competing interests and attitudes between the old establishment and the new /frz/ members, the /soc/ infestation, and targeting by trolls.

>The Bicentennial Celebration
Unlike the Centennial celebration, /frz/ #200 was not prematurely set off by a five thread hypetrain. It did however shatter previous records as the fastest thread lasting only one hour and 34 minutes. The hypefest formed at the beginning of the thread, but when Fractals updated EiS with a particularly angsty chapter, the hypefest exploded and carried it all the way to the end of the hour. The celebrations and Elsanna shipping had dominated the thread and drowned out the few shitposters that pathetically attempted to derail it. By the next thread, /frz/ had burned itself out and the shitposters moved quickly to gain the initiative. Anti-Fractals, possibly led by unpopular and upset writefags, were on the offensive most of /frz/ #201. The shitposting fizzled out towards the end of the thread and all went back to normal.

>The Hans Insurrection of /frz/ #207
The Liberate Hans movement concluded with the Hans Insurrection which occurred on Tuesday evening. The primary OPs had been standing by to create a new thread, but were beat by a Hans thread which was posted prematurely, but still late enough to be considered legitimate. Three-Links and Migration both decided to go along with the pre-planned thread and posted the real /frz/ #207 four minutes later breaking traditional convention that seniority ruled for new threads. Despite a significantly lower post count, the non-Hans thread eventually came out on top. One dedicated Hansfag, unknown if HansOP or not, resorted to shitposting in /frz/ #207 and threatened to ban /frz/ from /co/ by spamming new threads. Another attempt to make a new thread was made, this time as a Kristelsa thread, but was beat out by seniority by /frz/ #208. It is unknown if this thread was a false flag by the angry hansfag or a newfag attempting to contribute, however when "delete please, and stop being an ass. you know there's other anons that already have this covered" was posted in his thread, it was promptly spammed in /frz/ #208 in reply to all OC. The Hans Insurrection was promptly shut down by the end of /frz/ #209. Following the incident, the OPs consolidated their power and ended the policy of seniority rules. From here on out, the OPs would vigorously and autistically hold onto their power by preventing non-established OPs from OPing and shilling in their own threads with image dumps in the few times when they were beat out.

>Psychology Wars & Third Tangledfag Raid
The Psychology Wars started towards the end of /frz/ #235 over discussion over headcanon on Elsa's psychological issues. The debate carried into /frz/ #236, but turned into a flamewar that expanded beyond Elsa headcanons which of course led to shitposting. Several anons attempted to stop the shitposting, but ended up shitposting themselves. The actual shitposting was very brief and started calming down a third of the way through the thread and would have died out and been remembered as one of the many insignificant events of /frz/ if not for a fatal error by one anon attempting to defuse the situation. One anon attempted to stop the already dieing shitposting by posting Rapunzel. The Tangled avatarfag(s) flocked to the thread which kicked off the Third Tangledfag Raid. Throughout the thread, Tangled avatarfagging brought the topic of the Psychology Wars back, restarting the shitposting until finally bump limit had been reached. The Pyschology Wars and Third Tangledfag Raid died with /frz/ #236. An attempt to carry over the shitposting into /frz/ #237 was made, but it was ignored.

{Week 8: #245-284 - 39 Threads}

{Week 9: #285-324 - 40 Threads}

>The Tricentennial
The Tricentennial was supposed to be /frz/'s third centennial celebration thread, though it's significance was certainly less than the Centennial and Bicentennial . Shitposting started off in /frz/ #300 almost immediately after "Liberate Hans" had captured first post. The thread devolved into more shitposting and an elsanna image dump. Like the Bicentennial thread, /frz/ #300 broke the thread speed record by lasting only 1 hour and 17 minutes.

>The /dis/ Subversion Scare
The /dis/ Subversion was less of a subversion and more of miscommunication among the OPs. Rumors had spread that /frz/ would eventually morph into Disney General as did talk of it happening after /frz/ #300. The morning after /frz/ #300, Frozen General: The Dominion of Elsanna ends at Daybreak Edition #305 was posted followed by Frozen General...? TANGLED GENERAL ANNEXATION EDITION #1 and not #306. The regular OPs, Three-Links and Migration, who had been absent, returned thinking that /frz/ was being morphed into /dis/ violently and without their say. It turned out there was no /dis/ plot or attempted takeover, it was all a joke by the backup OPs. But for the regular OPs and many anons in the dark, it appeared /dis/ had attempted a take over of /frz/.

>Jelsa Invasion
The Jelsa Invasion was initiated by Anti-Elsanna shitposters during /frz/ #350 when the mentioning of Jelsa received negative responses. Anti-Elsanna shitposters started spamming Jelsa fanart while attempting to turn the "just ignore it" argument against Elsanna shippers. The Jelsa spammers continued into the next thread, however their plan backfired when the rest of /frz/ turned on the Jelsa spammers and started image dumps of their own forcing the image limit within the 300s. Following image limit the thread quieted down. It failed to gain any significant attention and the Jelsafag returned to shitposting at the very end of the thread. Another attempt was made to rekindle the shitflinging during the beginning of /frz/ #352, but nothing came of it. The Jelsa Invasion had managed to unite all the ships of /frz/ during their fight against the spamming. For the effort by the Helsafags, the Helsa ship was finally declared non-heretical during /frz/ #353.

---DECLINE OF /FRZ/---
There is no set point for when the decline of /frz/ began though it started happening sometime during the 10th and 11th weeks. In a way it was still neo-/frz/, but with changes. Serious shipping wars started taking place during the week days starting in Week 10, climaxing with the Jelsa Invasion, and continuing into the weekdays of Week 11. Shitposting had increased and soon few weekday evenings were free of shitposting. Slow weekends became a safe haven for /frz/. The Oscars had breathed new life into /frz/, but came with shitposting that lasted well into the next week at levels comparable to the Winter War. /soc/-tier discussions has increased more and more everyday too the point that later Euro/frz/ was almost synonymous with these types of discussions. Accusations that Euro/frz/ was creating a double standard that comfy could only exist during Euro/frz/ arose after claims were made that Euro/frz/ was the superior /frz/.
Outside forces started having an effect on /frz/ for the first time. The use of flockdraw/flockmod had gained a lot of attention in the threads during Week 10 , though it's popularity died down around Week 13. Even the #/frz/ on Rizon channel had started to pick up new members and activity. #/frz/on Rizon (not to be confused with the super sekret OP club #/frz/) would slowly gain popularity and included new nicknamefags and eventually all of /frz/'s actual namefags. Not surprisingly, #/frz/ gained it's fair share of haters and became a topic of metashitposting.
During the last couple of weeks of /frz/, several creative anons announced they would stop creating or would be cutting back their work for /frz/. "/frz/ is dieing" hysteria had taken off and reached it's height during /frz/ #434 when the OPs decided to chime in. The OPs revealed their plan to turn /frz/ into /dis/ when the time came to continue the life of /frz/. In reality, the /dis/ plan was a plan that the OP duumvirate came up with to kill /frz/. The OP duumvirate were worried that without OC, /frz/ would just continue living as a circlejerk of shitpositng and /soc/talk. It should be noted that the /dis/ plan had originally been a plan to continue the life of /frz/ thought up by other members of the #/frz/ oligarchy. The plan was met with more hysteria and some hostility, but eventually the "/frz/ is dieing" hysteria died down. Eventually however, the /dis/ plan was abandoned when /frz/ had not decreased in activity enough to justify the transition into /dis/.

>The Quadricentennial
The Quadricentennial was /frz/'s 400th thread celebration. Like the three preceding centennials, there was a pre-thread hype which saw a huge spike in shitposting in /frz/ #398. After /frz/ #300, there was concern that #400 would follow a similar path of shitposting, however this was not the case despite the heavy shitposting preceding #400. /frz/ #400 was very dedicated to elsanna with elsanna OTP securing first post and all. It also lasted 1 hour and 31 minutes, slower than #300, but still faster than #200. The following thread was made to celebrate the supposed victory of elsanna and again shitposting was very minimal until a /soc/ thread linking back to /frz/ was made at the very end in a failed effort to bring /soc/ into /frz/. Shitposting picked up again by /frz/ #402 and continued on and off until /frz/ #407. After a failed effort to link /frz/ to bronies, a thread on /pol/ linking back to /frz/ was made in an attempt to initiate cross-board raiding against /frz/. /pol/ called it a slide thread and ignored it and shitposting in /frz/ died down again.

{Week 12: #401-443 - 43 Threads}

>Oscar Night
Oscar night was the busiest night of /frz/ in it's entire history with the total number of threads for that Sunday ending up at nine, the most ever. The day started off like a normal Sunday until midday when the hype started building up and it became known that Frozen had surpassed the 1 billion dollar mark. The official hypefest started with /frz/ #439 which lasted until the Oscars started which was also the beginning of /frz/ #440. The Oscars ended up spanning a total of four threads with /frz/ #441 and /frz/ #443 both made as a direct result of the winning of Frozen's two Oscars. Both Oscar wins brought #440 and #442 to bump limit almost instantly. All four threads surpassed #300's record of 1 hour and 17 minutes. #442 came in fist at 50 minutes, #440 in second at 1 hour 2 minutes, #443 in third at 1 hour and 7 minutes, and #441 in fourth at 1 hour and 8 minutes. Unfortunately, Oscar Night also saw a huge spike in shitposting that lasted well into the next few days, fueled by a combination of hype, /a/nal devastation, and butthurt /co/ locals.

>The Quincentenary
The Quincentenary was /frz/'s 500th thread celebration. Unlike previous centennial threads, there was very little pre-hype for /frz/ #500. It helped that #500 and the preceding threads took place during the slower hours of /frz/. #500 was rather uneventful and peaceful sort of like #400 and was not followed by increased shitposting like other centennial threads. It was the slowest of the post #100 centennials at 2 hours and 40 minutes. The original centennial holds the record for slowest centennial at 6 hours and 3 minutes.

>The End of /frz/
/frz/ #520 marked the end of what would be known as Old/frz/. Throughout the week before, the OP duumvirate had been considering ending their reign, but weren't set on a date or number. As the weekend approached, Three-Links and Migration grew increasingly apathetic. The /dis/ plan was long since abandoned and there seemed like no end in sight. This was also around the same time of March that many people predicated /frz/ wouldn't live past. By the end of the weekend and after a particularly large amount of /pol/ spamming, the OPs decided to call it quits. That Sunday, they decided to end /frz/ at #520, which happened to coincide with the last thread of the day and week. Three-Links posted their goodbye message (See: http://i.imgur.com/iT3THiv.png) towards the end of the thread, so not to completely ruin the thread.


To some people, /frz/ died with #520. However, to others, /frz/ just continued on. /frz/ did actually continue on after #520, whether some people considered /frz/ dead or not, and lasted until /frz/ #1001. This /frz/ that this timeline is about, would become known as Old/frz/. So please note, that all mentions of /frz/ above are specifically talking about Old/frz/.

Old/frz/ would be succeeded by New/frz/ under different leadership. A historical account of New/frz/ can be found NEVER.

WARNING: The following is a list of e-celebs (a term which was rarely used in old/frz/ tbh) that made /frz/ special/shitty. If you don't like it, go shitpost on snowchan - which you're probably doing right now anyway.
