'''March 31, 2007''' - Despite April Fool's Day falling on Sunday, the action lineup falls victim to yet another prank as the entirety of the block after midnight (except for Voltron at 5:30) is replaced with a continuous loop of bootleg-style "subbed" Perfect Hair Forever episodes. Most action fans are not pleased, although the furor is not quite as extensive as it had been the previous year. | '''March 31, 2007''' - Despite April Fool's Day falling on Sunday, the action lineup falls victim to yet another prank as the entirety of the block after midnight (except for Voltron at 5:30) is replaced with a continuous loop of bootleg-style "subbed" Perfect Hair Forever episodes.

'''April 28, 2007''' - Mass unrest again takes hold of AD and several other folders as the final episode of Eureka seveN is aired with the beginning and ending scenes cut out. The edits, ostensibly made to save airing time, suggest a certain disregard for the principles of quality storytelling, and many wonder if this is yet another jab at anime fans or if they really are that stupid. AS subsequently issues an on-air apology and airs the entire episode uncut the following week, a rare show of contrition and restitution that is duly appreciated by those who had been unhappy about the show's treatment. The incident is dubbed "Eureka Severed," and the tumultuous aftermath becomes known as the "Eureckoning." | '''April 28, 2007''' - Mass unrest again takes hold of AD and several other folders as the final episode of Eureka seveN is aired with the beginning and ending scenes cut out.

'''June 8, 2007''' - [[J-Dubb]] created the SPI or Special Provision against Inuyasha. A historical event started by J using his alt, J_2 few days after he was banned. As president, he led a revolution of people to getting InuYasha a well diserved break. But after a week, it turned into a IY hate thread and eventually it was locked. He made 6 more and they all met the same fate except #7. The Mods forced J to end the SPI or he will be banned for good. So he retired the SPI as a result. But since the ultimatum was made after the 7th SPI was created, it still stands in A.S.S. today along with the Drop Inuyasha thread. | '''June 8, 2007''' - [[J-Dubb]] created the SPI or Special Provision against Inuyasha.

Revision as of 01:28, 29 April 2008
Time before recorded history - The First RIF Riots. Many were killed.
- Adult Swim expands from a three-hour, Saturday night programming block to three hours Monday through Thursday nights. Irate fans of Toonami's Midnight run march on Williams Street, only to be turned back by police clad in riot gear, wielding fire hoses and attack dogs.
- The success of the weeknight slot soon causes the block to add a 2 A. M. repeat run immediately following the conclusion of the 11 P. M. run.
Summer of 2003
- "cuz anime is teh s uck!" was created.
- Complaints from fans about current [adult swim] line up.
- Lack of moderators could not prevent constant spamming on the message boards.
October 26, 2003 - Episode 20 of The Big O is aired instead of the season finale. The board activity reportedly increased 300% during the 12 hours after the episode aired. This event became known as the Big Occident I.
November 2, 2003 - [adult swim] aired the beginning of the previous week's episode for about 25 seconds. Before [as] can say, "Sorry, we had to do it," the boards had already received complaint threads.
April 1, 2004 - [adult swim] places mustaches on shows resulting in spam all over the [adult swim] message boards.
April 17, 2004 - Action Saturdays returned, featuring the debut of the Animatrix.
June 17, 2005 - original AD fanclub night.
September 17, 2005 - National Day of Feasting and Festivities celebrates the return of Fullmetal Alchemist premiere episodes.

December 2005/January 2006 - AD regulars elimination - Ghost is triumphant - since she pwns us all.

April 1, 2006 - April Fool's Day farties throw AD into disarray.
April 23, 2006 - a glut of Eureka seveN hate threads and flamebaiting escalates into an all-out riot lasting several hours.
September 5, 2006 - Big Occident 2: AS skips the penultimate episode of Big O and ADers take to the Fan Reviews folder in protest.
October 27, 2006 - The final episode of Inuyasha airs. The military is called in to control riots in AD.
November 20, 2006 - The first AD Wiki was made, and it wasn't up to snuff. AD Wiki has since expanded and much fun has been had. (This really is a lot of fun... we should have done this earlier... it's even made me stop my post whoring for an hour)
December 29, 2006 - AD Self-Loathing Avatar Switch Day, in which participants spend a day wearing icons representing their most-hated characters.
December 2006/January 2007 - The second AD regulars elimination is held, with EdSpikeSesshyGirl ultimately reigning victorious.

Most action fans are not pleased, although the furor is not quite as extensive as it had been the previous year.
April 13, 2007 - "The March of the Shippo" takes place as many ADers change their icon to a happy Shippo and their sigs to "Heartscar!" for Icon Theme Day. In addition, theSLiKbandit develops The March of the Shippo® virus and infects it upon countless threads, drawing chastisement from the mods. | 1
