Site History (Flash: Those Who Ride the Lightning)

[Jump to menu]

Notes: The following list does not include minor changes such as corrections or additions to appearances lists. Also, entries older than Fall 1999 are incomplete because until January 2002 I was keeping only the most recent date for each file. From September 1999 onward I was able to use the mailing list archives, but earlier than that has basically been ’Net archeology.

Earlier than this I don’t have reliable records of when entries were created, only when they were most recently updated. I’ve been estimating creation dates (and filling in intermediate updates) based on file modification times on images and whether I recall ever making any changes to the entry. For example, since I’d never made any changes to Kyle Rayner except for his list of appearances, I took the “modified” date and labeled him as having been added that day. Thanks also to the Internet WayBack Machine, which helped me dredge up old copies of my history file and home page to fill in the gaps.
