I can answer that! *gets out whip and lashes everyone else* BACK! MY STORY! I'M THE ADMIN AFTER ALL

*ahem*

As I was saying...

This version of the forum is actually the fourth one lol. Not many people know that. When this place was still The Bubblegum Crisis Center I got into contact with this guy who ran another web site. I can't remember how I found this guy, I think he joined another forum that I go to and I must've followed his signature link back to his site. Anywayz, the first two incarnations of the forum were hosted by his site. The first version lasted a couple of months and was powered by Invision Power Boards... Unfortunately I screwed something up in the admin panel and the forum died lol. I contacted the guy and he reset the forum, but this time using PHPBB which I didn't really like, that forum only lasted a week or so.

After a short period of time I finally got myself a domain name and paid hosting. It was time for a third try and I restarted the forum (powered by Invision Power Boards) once again and hoped for the best. The third forum grew slowly and suddenly before I knew it I was surrounded by a bunch of regulars. And we've had A LOT of fun since, with a lot of strange and wacky moments, most of which we'll never forget cause they're too damn classic

I'm sure the other members will wanna tell you some of the more entertaining moments that have gone on so I'll let them fill you in if you want...

Of course... it didn't last. The forum was starting to die, not many people were around, everyone seemed to have disappeared. BGCC itself wasn't doing too well. Well it WAS for a BGC site, I mean other than Raven's Garage mine was the only other BGC site anyone visited. But I wasn't satisfied with it. And to add to that I had a tonne of work to do in my multimedia course and I was stressed out as all hell.

I decided to close the site down along with the forum... Well the site did stay closed for awhile... and then suddenly I'm like. "AH! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?!!IULQ:HJFSLKFH?L:@U!!!!!!" and reopened the site months later. I tried to bring back the forum, I had the database backed up, in fact I had several copied of the backed up database.

Only problem was that the people who created Invision Power Boards are morons. It seems that while I did have a working database, it couldn't sync up to the version of IPB I had installed. Why? Because it was a clean version, not a version I had upgraded time and time again from older versions. For some reason nothing worked, the damn thing kept on telling me that my database was corrupted... WHEN IT WASN'T! GAH!

So I just thought "fuckit" and decided that If I am gonna restart this forum, I'm gonna have to go for the best. A few long months later I finally had the money to buy a copy of vBulletin. And here we are now.
