@ -19,13 +19,36 @@ This name lived on when I built my console gaming website, Phoenix Inquisitor
dot net, originally hosted on Tripod. I'd drafted a logo on an index card, which
would adorn the site. The wings represent [[file:20200721010754-phoenix.org][The Phoenix]], the eye inquisition, and
the element of the ring was introduced to represent a community around them.
** History
- 1999 :: Site opens on pi.net.tripod.com
- 2001 :: After bouncing around a few free webhosts, the site moves to a paid
host and gets its domain name, phoenixinquis.net Forums are started in October
using phpBB 1.4
- 2002 :: In May, phpBB 2 comes out. The site is upgraded on June 4. After some
additional work, the various site sections are combined with the forum and the
overall look and feel of the site is unified thanks to a fresh new layout,
Istari by Anabel Martinez, aka Aelice.
- 2003 :: An ad run on megatokyo elevates the forum from a small, quiet group of
friends to a full, active board Also, Istari gets two major upgrades, bringing
mods and extra functionality with them
- 2004 :: The site continues to boom for a while, though activity dwindles near
the end of the year There were a few hosting company moves this year, hopping
through a few nasty ones and eventually landing on the host still used today.
- 2005-2006 :: With a steady decline in time and energy to maintain and update
the site, it slowly declines to it's current state of disuse. phpBB2 being
five years old now, it has become a huge target for spammers
- 2007 :: Site was upgraded to phpBB3
- 2008 :: The forums were hacked, and were eventually taken offline due to
inactivity. The main page was configured to redirect to my personal blog at
https://correl.phoenixinquis.net/.

I did not build the website with the intent to maintain it alone. I built it
because I wanted to connect with people and do something /together/.

gave it life as a forum built upon [[https://www.phpbb.com/][phpBB]].
