Teach me Poly history
What are the most important dates, events, groups in Poly history?
I know a little about Black Saturday when Ming ended up banning half the OT, or so it seemed.
Area 25: I think i've got this one figured out.
The ACOL/POLY war: I've seen enough on this.
What is the Green Army?
How many names has Spink/bods/whatever his name is now had?
What else is there?

ok, who was going to build a page for this? So we can redirect all this kind of posters to a poly history FAQ?

Let's see now:
Stewart Spink
Old Major
Dookie
Nimrod
Warning:
Infatuation (I think)
Chasing Rainbows
Boddington's
Current combination name is Chaspink Nimdoowarntuation's. Hmm, that's lacking any mention of Old Major. How about... Old Chaspink Nimdoowarntuation's?

Stefu u silly nu-b!
Green Army had nothing to do with any invasion!
The Green Army was a few people, led by Imran, who wanted to gain control and such in poly. This was before we actually had an off-topic moderator.
The invasion went into an age of empires forum where basicalkly on behalf of Apolyton Stewart Spink and YYYHey went and posted insulting crap. 
They were permabanned.

You'd notice that the Green Army and the invasion weren't related, if you had read what I wrote…

How did they justify banning people for actions done on another forum?

Where to go for Apolyton history:
http://home.att.net/~sjcfg/main.html
How accurate it is I don't know. I haven't been here THAT long. I sure wasn't here for Area 25. I think I got that link from a thread asking who has been banned and for how long.
Edit:
Link is now fixed. Somehow I had two copies of the link strung together.

Your right. Odd since I went to the site to make sure it was up and took it from the address bar.
http://home.att.net/~sjcfg/main.html
Thats it again. I hit the preview this time and it worked when I clicked on the link in the preview.
I will try and edit the first post.

Yes, but they remember you for all the wrong reasons then you have to work to put it all behind you and just try to be you.

Maybe a picture of her would sway some votes.

Many have received votes, but none have succeeded yet. Blame the Newbees

The single most important piece of Apolyton history is when a guy named "Glonk" registered here.
