The KRR Message boards started
on a small free service known as Echelon. It was unstable, people
could post anonymously, and there were basically no
rules.
In March 2000, the boards
officially opened on Ezboard under http://pub8.ezboard.com/brainbowresort.
It grew rapidly, and we easily went over the 1,000,000 visit mark
in less than a year. It also brought attention to us, and ezboard
showcased us on the frontpage. You can see that here, although it's
lost who made this screenshot. Thanks whoever you were =) Rainbow
Resort EZBoard Showcase.
After that, we bounced back and forth from http://www.xsorbit.com/users/krrmb/index.cgi (the link is dead) and back to EZBoard.
After receiving server support
from GameSpy, Aqua went about and created the phpbb message board
forums that you see today. She was responsible for not only setting
up the forums, but designing the layout, graphics, and just about
everything else. She was also responsible for a lot of the older
forum layouts. Although she has since moved on, you can still her
influence everywhere around KRR.
Then the entire server of GameSpy was hacked, and everything was lost -- including our forums, oekaki, etc.
Diskmaster, of Disktech (now Darkfire Aviary),
then graciously
hosted our forums under his webspace. We were much indebted to him,
and even had a Diskmaster Appreciation Day.
After the forums put too much
strain on Disktech, we temporarily moved to old SMF Forums which
were running a few months behind, and had notable things such as
Pointless Palace still around. The SMF Forums were pulled down
after a few days, and Disktech returned with the phpBB forums still
temporarily hosted on them. With help from Disk, Aqua, giving more
help, moved the forums from Disktech back to GameSpy,
where
they reside now.
