History

## 2006

### July:

* One of the earliest known Tributers and YouTubers *Vrahno*, created a short tribute for the 1999 T.V. show, Walking With Dinosaurs. This single video alone started something that will soon last until today.

### September:

* A YouTuber named *Australianfalcon*, formed his channel at the beginning of September and created the earliest Music Video Tributes.

### October:

* (Also forming his channel that month) A unpopular Tributer known as *Sturmblut*, who created some of the earliest Godzilla music video tributes, became an inspiration to someone who will spark the popularity of dinosaur tributes by the end of the year.

### December:

* On the 13th, a now inactive YouTuber *Tyrannotitan*, formed his channel on that day. By Christmas Eve, he uploaded one of the earliest slideshow tributes that would spark the rise of this community, and the rise of Dinosaur Tributes alone.

## 2007

### Throughout The Year:

* Other YouTubers formed their channels throughout the year (including the next) and soon sparked what would become *The Tribute Explosion*. Popular Tributers that are in the Past Generation formed or have already formed their channels, such as *Archosaur Queen, Dylan Loveday, Rapator2, Mutatediguana,* etc.

## 2008

## 2017

### March:

* *DarkSpino306*'s channel forms. DarkSpino, including a few other Spinosaurus fans just like him, will start a battle between scientific accuracy that will change the Dinosaur Tribute Community almost entirely. This was the start of what will become the 2017 Drama Incident and will drag itself into 2018.
* *Dino Gojira Guy* ended up quitting tributes. His channel is still active to this day but since then, he has never done another tribute.

### April - May:

* Since 2016 to now, The Pivot Dinosaur and Dinosaur Tribute Communities start to collide more and more! Both communities may have not interacted that well, but this is the start of new members creating channels with both Tributes and Pivot Animations alone.

### June - December:

* Based off of one of the worst scientific debates ever that has been going on since 2001, started what would become the *2017 Drama Incident*. From friends betraying friends, to relationship drama, to even hacking, this event had it all. Spinosaurus fans left and right attacked others for their own right thoughts. Others seeking attention, and bringing itself into death. This incident was one of the worst events that could've ever happened in the community alone. All thanks to a 10 year old girl, *Spinosaurus Queen*.

## 2018

### January - July:

* The *2017 Drama Incident* even dragged itself into 2018. This single handed event almost caused the entire community to collapse. A lot of people were considered traitors. This includes *DarkSpino306*, *JURASSIC BOB*, even *Dino Master*. However, in May, the good side was able to collapse the group that started it all. It's all thanks to *Spino theHustla77* after the last dramatic incident that *DarkSpino306* started, and later on was exposed for subboting. His channel still remains to this day, but he has learned to never do something like that again. AcroKing 92, who was also involved, decided to stop as well, including *Spinosaurus Queen*. This was the victorious end of one of the most disastrous dramatic events in the community's history.

### July/August(?):

* *EBLazerRex65* removed his original channel for some unknown reasons. His new channel, currently known as LazeR, is still active.
* *LegitEliminator* accepts *Dino Master* back into the community. Despite his new behavior since 2017, they decided to give him one last chance. Other groups that have separated with the community disagreed with this situation.

## 2019

### March:

* *EBLazerRex65* once again removed another account and made another with the same name.

### June:

* It was announced by SpinoDragon Productions that after a decade of inactivity, and after discussing this with him when he was active, the previous generation Tributer *Dylan Loveday*, is planning to come back with more videos very soon! There are no other details when his new video will come out soon. Only *Dino Master* and *SpinoDragon Productions* were the first to know about this since Dylan changed his channel description to that "he'll be back" since 2018.

* Now that most drama is gone, peace is once again forming after the effects of what happened in the past two years. Things are now finally calming down.
