Site Update:
I have created a work-in-progress timeline on the site. A direct link to its page can be found here . Eventually this will replace the extremely out-dated "History" section of this thread's original post. If you have suggestions for what to add to the timeline, they would be appreciated.
Also, I tried to directly integrate the timeline to this post using the "Code" button, but it didn't work, and instead just showed the HTML code in a weird box. Does anyone know how to fix that? I will drop the code below, if that's helpful.
