Several People Are Typing

Please be aware that the site underwent restructuring (and probably will again at some point) and as a result I'm sure some links are broken.

22^nd of June 2019: website is created; introduction, appendices A and B are transferred over from Google documents

23^rd of June 2019: appendices C and D completed, 2017 and January of 2018 are transferred

24^th of June 2019: all entries uploaded, HTML preparation complete

28^th of June 2019: entire website is redesigned with a new CSS style that emulates the aesthetics of Discord (the Sydlexia article emulating the Sydlexia website).

9^th of July 2019: the last regular batch of entries spanning May 9^th to July 9^th is uploaded directly to the website, as well as submissions from users on the HSD. (Edit as of 5/14/2020: this has been moved, see the note from 14^th of May 2020)

2^nd of August 2019: released the first of "minor" entries with some info from the last week or so of July.

13^th of August 2019: reorganized the website so that entries after the 9^th of July 2019 are all located in their own page, distinguished from the main body of work. The release of such entries will still be detailed in the Changelog (edit as of 5/14/2020: see the change on 14^th of May 2020 for more accurate information).

14^th of August 2019: released a batch of three entries starting on the 6^th of August, talking about Perfectly Generic Podcast survey and temporary channel merger of mspa-lit with general.

26^th of August 2019: released one entry detailing events of the second half of August, including announcement for Pesterquest and certain developments concerning Hussie.

1^st of October 2019: released two entries: first deals with personal meetings with various members of the HSD in real life; second has information about bot attacks, a decline in the size of the fandom, and two fan projects recently released (Felt Mansion and Pro8lematic Faves).

24^th of October 2019: released one entry detailing events concerning Toblerone bar dropoffs and the Chapel Hill Pen Box.

25^th of October 2019: released one entry describing the announcement and release of Homestuck 2.

26^th of October 2019: released one entry detailing the Chapel Hill Pgenpodcast live showing.

3^rd of November 2019: released four entries detailing, in order: Homestuck Wiki edit wars, and Makin's wish failing and subsequent backup; Hiveswap Act 2 announcement trailer; Shill Seekers website by Gitaxian and Wadapan released; administrative changes to server, including new mods and rules added to welcome channel.

11^th of December 2019: released five small entries covering a variety of topics.

31^st of December 2019: released three entries from the latter half of December.

3^rd of January 2020: first entry of the new year, discussing Twitter callout posts and other drama.

8^th of January 2020: two entries, one about a new bot and another concerning internal conflict.

15^th of January 2020: added a guestbook to the front page of SPAT so people can leave messages for everyone else to see. The software seems to be rather janky so far, but I'm hoping it's only temporary weirdness. I replaced the backcover with the guestbook because it was taking up space and kind of broke the aesthetics of the page, so it can be located at the bottom of the front cover (edit: this is no longer the case due to the guestbook not working at all. The back cover and the guestbook have both been omitted from the frontpage of SPAT).

19^th of January 2020: added one entry detailing escalation of the callout drama from Twitter, including involvement with Kate and Griever. Also described a few random things in the server that were nice.

11^th of February 2020: added one entry concerning escalations of fandom drama, and Makin stepping down from control of subreddit and HSD.

8^th of April 2020: added two entries, first about April Fool's Day event and then a brief description of general server proceedings.

24^th of April 2020: added two entries, one about 4/13/2020 and one about a couple smaller things within the community.

30^th of April 2020: added one entry detailing controversy around a Homestuck 2 update from the day before, as well as a couple other minor notes.

14^th of May 2020: added two entries talking about various users of the HSD. Also reorganized SPAT to reframe the timeline. Originally, SPAT was considered "formally ended" on its second anniversary, the 9^th of July 2019 due to lessening motivation to write. However, further reflection after Makin stepping down in February of 2020 and a resurgence of interest in writing SPAT led me to believe it would be more prudent to restructure the website, so that the beginning of the journal up to me becoming the owner could be "Book I," and "Book II" could begin after that. This is less awkward structuring and also eliminates the weirdness of continuing to write so much after SPAT was "ended."

14^th of May 2020: added five entries covering late May and the beginning of June.

16^th of July 2020: added four entries covering random stuff, the last of which is an explanation of the drama centering around negotiations with Hussie back in February. Refer to the entry for a link to the Related Materials with a full transcript of the proceedings in question.

20^th of August 2020: added one entry describing activity of various users new and old, and one addition to Related Materials Appendix B written by Teratosapphic describing various memes in server's culture.

30^th of September 2020: added five entries discussing a variety of topics. Also added a new page to the General Contents called Current Statistics, containing information which was originally included in the Introduction as well as some new info. Keeping it here will serve both to keep the introduction less confusing in terms of informing the reader, and also make it easier to update the information within.

13^th of October 2020: added one entry detailing Makin coming back as server owner, as well as other details he provided which are immediately relevant, including reopening the Patreon, future direction of server, and a fourth Reckoning. Appropriately, updated the Current Statistics to reflect changes in staff.

23^rd of December 2020: added several entries covering a litany of events, including 10/25/2020, the release of Hiveswap: Act 2, and the announcement of Andrew Hussie's new project.

4^th of January 2021: added three entries transitioning from the old year to the new, including a smaller, less serious version of the user contributions for the end of 2020. Also added an assessment of server activity for the year 2020.

19^th of February 2021: added one entry after a significant dry spell in writing, which describes the main developments in official property and provides an update on a few things that have been taking place in the HSD.

5^th of March 2021: added three entries, including one for the fifth anniversary of the HSD describing a small, informal census of mspa-lit.

15^th of April 2021: added one entry detailing 4/13 for the year and a couple other minor details.

1^st of August 2021: added one entry covering all noteworthy events since the last update.

18^th of October 2021: added six entries covering August, September, up to mid October, starting with the fifth Reckoning and ending with a description of a giveaway we're holding for reaching 20,000 users.

30^th of April 2022: added an entire new section cataloguing the pins from #mspa-lit, by popular request. Also redesigning certain aspects of the website, including minor visual elements such as a border and tuning up the mobile version. Changed to note style entries that cover the span of time from November last year to this month, which I will no longer link to individually. If I write any full entries, I'll still link them here.

19^th of May 2022: updated and reorganized the pins to assist with loading by breaking them up into blocks of about 100 entries, links to the next page at the bottom of each block. Added notes for the first half of May 2022.

9^th of June 2022: released the entry for the meetup that took place at the end of May, in Atlanta, Georgia. Also released a short entry for June 2022.

17^th of April, 2023: made general changes to the CSS spreadsheet for better usability (instead of using individual user's names, I'll be gradually replacing all text classe for usernames with hexcodes that correspond to the roles we use on the server proper). Added what little notes I've kept since last time I updated the website, including a new page for the year 2023. Added a pin archive for #general to help out with their pin storage.

2^nd of June 2023: released several new entries covering the last month.

6^th of August 2023: released the entry for the meetup that took place in July. Also, after complaints about image sizes being entirely too large, refitted the CSS stylesheet so that they don't take up so much space. This will have unforeseen consequences.

9^th of November 2023: released a handful of entries from the last so many months.

2^nd of September 2024: released a few entries after a long break in writing. Also wrote the 2024 Meetup article.

15^th of May 2025: in an attempt to rescue writing efforts, changing up how I do pages. Instead of entire years, I will cover isolated incidents if they're interesting or entertaining enough to me. To that end, released a short page called "Captain."

13^th of August 2025: several entries released in a single page covering a litany of events, especially drama regarding the Unofficial Homestuck Collection and the news of the animated series.

22^nd of August 2025: added a text dump to the website to make searching across all entries much easier. In combination with this, after much deliberation I changed back most censored names with a couple minor exceptions. This doesn't really affect anything after 2018, and the decision was made for increased historical accuracy.

26^nd of August 2025: released a few entries in the page for August 2025. Lots of stuff happening this month.

9th of September 2025: released a few entries and restyled the "Weeks" page to be for the last half of the year, on the assumption I'll be writing a bit more than usual. Will also be going through to do some stylistic changes to the website eventually. Also added three materials to Appendix D.

22nd of September 2025: released several entries and an interview with Michael Guy Bowman I conducted today. The full audio and transcript are both available.
