[CC] CyberClan -- Memorial

This email was sent by Cyborg a founding CyberClan member back in 1999. I'm posting it since it has timeline information on the start of the clan. Really brings back some good memories.

Greetings CyberClan!
I hope that you all have had a wonderful Holiday season! There is a
big storm heading for us this weekend (Well, most of us anyway) so I
figured many of you would be shut-in and looking for something to do.
Borg to the rescue! =)

First off, I would like you all to double check your clan mailing
lists! Your mailing lists should be exactly as you see this one on
this letter. I am also attaching a written version below for you to
referance. It took me almost an hour to write it up, so please take
a few minutes to compair it to your list. Thanks =)

Also, as you all know, CyberClan is getting old. But how old are we?
For some time now, we have been saying that we were two years old.
Some people think we should be 2 and a half years old by now. Some
even think that it feels more like 3 years! So, how old are we???
Well, in the begining, we used to have a page on our website called
the CyberClan Timeline. It detailed the major events in CyberClans
life and gave the dates of those events. Well, to answer the question,
I dusted off an old backup copy of the web site and I dug out the last
version of that page to find out. Here is what I found.

12-28-96 Initial Clan frame work is discussed and laid out by CyBorg
and CyberGear. Can we actually establish and maintain a working
Quake Clan?

01-15-97 The CyberClan forms with its first members; Double_D,
CyberGear, and Cellar Rat.

02-08-97 CyBorg names the Clan. We are now known as the
CyberClan! Double_d becomes CyBorg, CellarRat becomes CyberRat
and Gear keeps his original name.

As you can see, the idea that became CyberClan was first discussed
on December 28, 1996. Just days after the release of a game called
Quake. We didnt officially form until January 15th 1997 and we did
not decide on a name until February 8 1997. But name or no name, we
did officially form a group on January 15th 1997 and this is the date
that I have deemed as our Official Startup Date. That means that the
answer to the question is this. On January 15th 1999, CyberClan will
Officially be 2 Years Old!
January 15th is a Friday and less then two weeks away. To celebrate
the occasion, I have decided that there will be a special event Clan
Night held using our CyberWorld mod (the one with the fast weapons).
It will be held on 26088 and all of CyberClan is invited! Sorry,
Active members only Please! Following the celebration, all present
Cyber's will then move to the Public Port (26000) for some old time
Rock-n-Roll!!! Of course, a special announcement will be made to
let you know about it, but mark your calendars and get the night
off if you have to work!

I found the old file to be such enjoyable reading, that I have
once again placed the original file back online for all to see! So
you new guys that are curiouse, or the old guys that want to refresh,
be sure to check it out! The file covers everything from the raw
beginnings to Boogers appointment as Elder on December 15th 1997.
I wish it were more, but still, it covers the entire first year
of CyberClan and makes for a great history lesson! The page is not
linked so you have to click here to get to it:

Happy Frags in '99!
