    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I was a little curious about UPSB's history and the history forum altogether the other day, so I decided to read up on that and then I realized that there is no history being kept for since UPSB v.3 was put into place. I figured I'd start compiling some of this before there becomes too much info.

    But I feel like my timeline is lacking a lot of detail, and it might be missing some important information... so if you have anything you want to add, just post it up and then edit this post with the changes. :]

    nice, there might have been more stuff that happened during the 4month crash other than the collab release, not sure

    ok the insert conflict its devilsun who used the Impact MX insert and modified it to be used in other mods. kam wasn't happy about this and asked ppl to stop doing it. then finally kam made a general version of the insert to be used with any mod.

    Yeaa..can't do much about the crash =\ lost piece of history i guess
    --maybe that's when the gathering subforum was added though? cause i can't find anything about when that was added.. there was no announcement or anything
    and thanks for the info, i added it to the first post

    and d'you know if upsb rsvps/upsb pencases came out at the same time? i don't think they did... o.0
    also, i always thought awesome won the quadradius tournament... what was it that he won? cause didn't he win something to get his game host title?

    i also cleaned up the first post a bit so that it's a bit easier to read and organized now
    --i might be able to break the "other news" section up some more, but i'll get to that some other time

    i think its because old posts were pruned from the OT

    so we probably lost that topic
