[Help Needed] History of ORE and the RDF

[ddthj]

Some old RDF/RE trends/events that I know of (I'm probably forgetting a lot more)(I'm avoiding individual or group redstone projects (unless they were a community event) because there are too many to count):
-Berick's Prelude of the Chambered 2 livestream
-Antimatter energy boots
-/fast
-Long (2+ hour) philosophical discussions
-Cakesmas
-Survival CPU (done more than once, I don't remember when), basically we all joined a survival pvp server and built a CPU in survival.
-/warp spawn taking you to an evil spawn
-Plot of logic (original and new)
-People signing the walls of other people's plots
-The tunnels under jxu's old RDF plot (courtesy of redstonewarrior)
-Redstonewarrior's secret bases (he had one on almost every plot)
-Award trophies
-Back when skill ranks were a thing (Builder, Engineer, Scientist, Guru)
-Distinct phases of redstone (summarizing greatly here): (alpha/before pistons, piston craze (birth of the ICA, mass ICA designing), ICA perfected; birth of the CLE, Diagonal/Solid State phase (current phase) and analog/comparator.
-Massive AFK boxes (afk boxing in general)
-Xray Doc's Methlab (the original one, not the weird new one)

Let me know if you need clarification.

Clarification on all of that early stuff before the descriptions of ranks. That was before I became a member.
