TheHelper City - the MyMiniCity days...

Man I remember the first time I logged on and saw this minicity thing. I think at the time it was on the front page perhaps? It's been a long time but man that city got BIG!

 

[The Helper]

We are currently ranked #231 in the US for MyMiniCity. I think at the peak I had us within the top 100.

[FireCat]

Wow, you have done/and doing a lot of work TH.

 

[PurgeandFire]

I agree with Firecat, this is an awesome compilation! Keep digging stuff up. It is fun to read--some threads I recognize, and others are completely new (but juicy/nostalgic nonetheless).

 

[The Helper]

Started moving some of the sections over into their own posts. Going to do it kind of slowly. Gives me time to look at the posts a little and see what needs to be updated more, redone, etc.

Added even more potential sections. An especially neat one is going to be the High Google Page Rank we had and how we did so well on the Search Engines.

Added TheHelper.net map Project http://web.archive.org/web/20051105061908/http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16135

 

[The Helper]

Made a MVP only Index for just the MVP History in the story.
Did a couple of more sections to individual posts.

 

[The Helper]

Added a whole bunch of information to the Banners and Looks throughout the years page
As well as a bunch of historic banner graphics and layouts.
Added the Prolog to the Index.
Finished up the MVP path sections all to to their own posts.

Currently I am moving sections to their own posts slowly and getting a feel for how I want to expand on each one as I go. Sometimes just expanding then.

 

[The Helper]

Tender Fury and logical_1 sections moved to own posts

 

[The Helper]

Continuing to split off sections contained in the main document to there own forum posts. Did 3 more today. Also tweaked and added a bunch of stuff to the dmoz.org section.

 

[The Helper]

Split the MVP Path Only part of the story off to its own post and stickied it in the Site History Forum. This will act as a secondary portal to the Story.

 

[The Helper]

Activated Tom Mai's link in the index to his Tom Mai, "The Origins" Post.

You have to remember though, I was not and am not very active in the World Editor area. It is best if you guys write your own history and post it. I am just not up to speed with everyone who helps in World Editor.

Is there any way I can permanent sticky this thread to the top of this forum instead of it cycling through the stickied posts?
