The Story of TrekWeb

<Joey> trekweb was only cool because it recreated the original forums the best
<Joey> and had a great administrative staff
<Joey> community was similar though
<Joey> knux hates it a lot, i'm guessing because he was banned for 99% of its existence
<Joey> there was something that went on with him and the level judges between August 25th and September 25th, 2010
<Joey> that was trekweb's founding date -> the date i joined
<Joey> apparently he and quill were level judges or something but only so they could access the staff forum
<Joey> idk
<Joey> anyway he was banned for 99% of its existence because trekweb's staff had sense
<Joey> we included you for you support that you've given in the last week
<Joey> same with you, GARY
<UncleSam> anyone on trekweb's staff still around?
<Joey> and because you're staff on knux's forums, adds to the convincing level
<Joey> uhm...yes
<Joey> sort of
<Joey> it started out with CaptainTrek as a Super Admin, Spitfire and Vandarx as admins, and fallingsnow/Blaarg/someone as moderators
<Joey> i forget who someone was
<Joey> fff who was he
<Joey> this is bugging me now, i know there were three mods
<Joey> well, anyway, it'll come to me
<Joey> DarkMatt was later promoted as a project moderator - that lasted about a week
<Joey> then they hired the first wave of level judges
<Joey> qig, Garro, Wildclaw888, NameUser, and Kuribo
<Joey> or something like that
<Joey> (they didn't have level judges for a few weeks because of the aforementioned events)
<Joey> LJs became inactive as usual, so they hired a second wave
<UncleSam> oh cool
<UncleSam> brb mate
<Joey> Super Luigi Brothers and TANOOKISUITSME/YoshiQuest/Shocker were promoted
<Joey> OK
* UncleSam is now known as US|Away
<Joey> if you're still connected i'll just continue and you can respond later
<Joey> TSM/YQ/Shocker are the same person
<Joey> notorious for a really bad episode called Yoshi and the Quest Through Time (YATQTT), which I helped with kinda
<Joey> anyway, i was kinda bummed and i wanted to be an LJ
<Joey> as JoeyFireFlower
<Joey> so i think I may have asked CT or Spitfire about it - or maybe not, but somehow we ended up in #YATQTT
<Joey> on FOSSnet
<Joey> and i ended up getting promoted
<Joey> i reviewed levels HEAVILY during that time in order to get/keep my job
<Joey> and i was the best damn level judge the world has ever seen
<Joey> * Spitfire hands CaptainTrek coffee
<Joey> <CaptainTrek> spitteh wins
<Joey> <CaptainTrek> i only drink coffee
<Joey> <CaptainTrek> and the souls of the damned
<Joey> happened right after my promotion
<Joey> then stuff started happening
<Joey> TrekWeb was attacked by lightray and Knux with their SPAM100 buddies
<Joey> which was actually really funny but harmful
<Joey> They introduced Junior Staff, and Blue (Redigit's right-hand man) was promoted to it
<Joey> they were a light orange
<Joey> not too light though
<Joey> then about two weeks later, Blue was promoted to Junior Staff and Conker Belmont (Vandarx and Kyasarin's friend) was promoted to junior staff
<Joey> simultaneously
<Joey> then, a week later, Conker was promoted to mod
<Joey> then, a week later, Conker was promoted to admin to help with spam attacks
<Joey> it was a /little/ bit corrupt, but not really since Conker did his job
<Joey> it's really just connections honestly
<Joey> sorry, Blue was promoted to Global Mod when Conker was promoted to junior staff
<Joey> By that time, Vandarx and Spitfire had been promoted to Super Admins (when Conker was admin)
<Joey> and we're in december-ish now
<Joey> TrekWeb went down for the first time in January due to hardware failure, losing all its data after September 14th, 2010
<Joey> January 2011
<GARY> Right, well, I gotta go. If you could leave a pastebin of this for when I wake up it'd be appreciated. See ya
<Joey> OK
<Joey> l8r
* GARY has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
<Joey> so CT chose to restart the forums new
<Joey> Conker chose to not be an admin, I think
<Joey> oh, somewhere along the line in November 2010, Blaarg got demoted because he wasn't a good mod and got the job for being fallingsnow's friend
<Joey> November 2010 also welcomed 1.3
<Joey> so in the new trekweb (TrekWeb II), fallingsnow was promoted to admin
<Joey> and I was promoted to forum developer (a secret group that was basically just normal user w/ staff forum access, DarkMatt was one for a while)
<Joey> OH
<Joey> I THINK I REMEMBER WHO THE OTHER MOD WAS
<Joey> it was Skittlez12
<Joey> yeah
<Joey> i think that's who it was
<Joey> (s)he was demoted at some point
<Joey> anyway, so I was promoted to mod after being promoted to forum developer
<Joey> and then was demoted in about 3 weeks
<Joey> for not being a good mod
<Joey> and then Shocker and I were promoted to the newly created junior staff group, now with a teal color
<Joey> TrinityFlash claims to be the one behind this, and used to use it against me saying "you're lucky i was there after your demotion" or some shit
<Joey> then TrekWeb died again, pretty much
