Lately, several people have asked about the genesis of the Orlando System and where it came from. I just looked at the oldest boards and found a few interesting threads. If anyone else has facts they can recall, or ideally link to, please chime in. Eventually it'd be nice to construct a timeline showing Orlando's changing System. For now, the beginning.
There were a handful of Orlando posts in 2000, but the real activity picked up in late 2001, as many of us were getting excited about Episode II and Celebration II. I for one recall that the vast majority of my early posts were in Celebration forums. My
first post happened on the same day as the first meeting, 9 December 2001, which was decided upon and reviewed here, here and here.
Some other interesting points were these first real rumblings of starting a Central Florida FanForce and, as far as I can tell, the first appearance of our OS name. You'll note that members came from literally all over Central Florida.
Future episodes will hopefully cover the break with Melbourne, the different CRs, and the changing boards that we've used. -Campbell
