April[edit]

April 28th:
GORE-ILLA joins VGF.

July[edit]

Masamune starts up a site that would in time be called Gamehiker.com.

2002[edit]

January[edit]

January 31st
Gamehiker Forums open, suspiciously around the same time that VGF suffered a major server crash. With no backup of the forums, the OGers organize an effort to salvage OGs from their history. VGF reopens later, but most of the OGers remain at Gamehiker.

  • GORE-ILLA loses faith in OGs and goes into self-exile from the server crash.

March[edit]

March 2nd
Gamehiker goes public on the site.

January 26:
Yami Yoshi begins the first Member OG.

October[edit]

October 5:
Gamehiker Forums moves off of EZBoard and on to phpBB. So begin a new era!

September[edit]

  • Masamune starts the Subspace RPG with Gamehiker members, ushering the OGs into a new era of neglect.

2009[edit]

January[edit]

Massive surge in OG activity. OGs that receive posts during this surge are:
(Bolded OGs were finished in that time, Italicized ones were newly started)

After That[edit]

Massive death in OG popularity. Everything dies forever. Ironically SteveT and Nintenfreak remain as the semi-active ones.

Notes[edit]

Credit for the idea goes to Chibi. --Golem 15:08, 5 June 2007 (MDT)
