Chronology

December 6, 2001
system was brought online by MikeGodfrey as welcome.to/GayHalifax using the Ward Cunningham HyperPerl wiki - the very first wiki software ever released. MikeGodfrey writes, The wiki was created after fifteen minutes of Perl hacking as a forum for posting announcements and ranting on and on about operator discussion, etc, on the #gayHalifax and #gay_halifax irc channels. I originally populated it with a front page, personal ads, personal profiles pages, and the recent changes page. It grew pretty quickly from there. My goals were simple: I wanted to create some value in my community, and maybe get laid a bit more because of it. I actually met one of my playmates off the wiki. Yay.
