The very first Compendium Chronology
« on: September 06, 2007, 12:26:07 am »
In the beginning (okay, April 2003), there was the CT/RD/CC/CB thread on OCR, which I archived before its death. Then came the "Authoritative Chrono Series Storyline Guide", a chronology with a cute little theory section at the end. When we realized the series was much deeper than we first thought, and when Ramsus provided a website, the Compendium was born from this innocent document, which later became our current Chronology. Well, take a trip through time!

http://cc.herograw.org/Black/Publications/Oldsite

You'll find other ancient predecessors of Compendium assets in that folder as well.

Edit: Oh, WOW. http://web.archive.org/web/20030805204148/http://www.ramsus.guiltyparties.com/cc/ is a much better archive of the first site than chronocompendium.com's history.

Why look in the past! I say, move forwards, not backwards! etc.

That is an awesome quote! Nothing wrong with checking out the past for a bit .  .  .

You DO realize you're in a forum about a game about TIME TRAVEL, yes? Most of the game involves going into the past, for Christmas' sake.

Also, wow...lookit that, the Compendium's News section was actually all about Chrono Theory! Was it ever really like that? Ahhhh...memories...

Such humble beginnings, and just look at where the site is now!  CC is often considered THE haven of everything Chrono.  Well done on a site loved by many!

This archive actually has our briefly-used time piece favicon.ico.

Ah, I remember this banner. I still say someone should get a real book & a pocket watch & recreate it. No good reason, really...

Here's a screenshot of Compendium 3.0 that Ramsus took in OSX.

Ironically "Compendium 3.0" means that's a screenshot of how the site looked well over 4 years ago, back when it was hosted on a 433Mhz Celeron machine with 192MB of SDRAM and a slow cable connection.

Wait, 4 years ago? But the news update is dated as '05...Speaking of which...Alright! RPGOne announced it's CT re-translation! Well, it's been over 2 years now, so it's gotta be closer to being done...All I've gotta do is wait...hey, wait-a-minute...!
