History of Spacebattles

Spacebattles started in 1994 as a guestbook and a place primarily for posting movies of (You guessed it) spacebattles.
As time passed, the forum aspect became more prevalent; one of the major milestones from this era was the 1999 OBS thread, an 'image battle' thread created by Cool Guy (now an Administrator).
In 2001, SB moved to the vBulletin forum software. By this point, the forums had generally become the main focus of Spacebattles, and while artistic pursuits (movie-making, etc) still occured, they had become less significant.
On May 1st, 2012, SB finally moved to the then-new XenForo forum software being developed by its current mantainer, Kier Darby.
More information is available at the official SB history page here. There is also a stickied thread on SB which serves as a user-submitted repository of notable events and conversations on the board.
