-Pre-Historical Days of XR3-
This is back when The XR3 Club was only a blog and could only be viewed on nicksplat made by it's original founder, XRobin3 aka Kevin. This was before we had the forums or any members and it remained this way for months, Kevin then joined the asc (allstarsclub) where he got the idea of making his own forum and to get members to make his blog more popular.
-Early XR3club Days-
It was tough coming up with a good site and took a lot of work to make the forums, but on February 24th, 2006 The XR3 Club was born and soon later opened to the public, it was very tough going through this time as there were very little members and things weren't looking very good for Kevin and The XR3 club but things were soon to change.
-The Growth of The XR3 Club-
Things were improving for Kevin and The XR3 Club when he got his first active member Falco followed by the next active member Steven, who started recruiting lots of members and became the first 2 moderators for the site, we continued to support The XR3 Club and very shortly after went into the top 100 forums for forumwise, things were looking great and we were determined to become the #1 forum
-The Golden Glory Days-
With many moderators like Steven, Falco, Shaina, Sammy, and Stef, The XR3 Club was in all it's glory. There were hundreds of threads and many thousands of posts all across XR3. It was constantly busy with new members coming in frequently and posts flooding the forum. The XR3 Club made it as high as the 11th Top Forum at forumwise.com, only one away from making it to the Top Ten list. Sadly, the greatness was not to last.
-The Decline of The XR3 Club-
Many negative changes began to take place at The XR3 Club. Our Moderators Sammy and Shaina left, most posters seemed to lose interest, and we were falling through the ranks of the Top 100 fast. Then, what seemed to be the death blow of The XR3 Club as we knew it hit:
Kevin Left.
The life of XR3, the original founder of the site, the dude who made it all happen, left. Kevin decided with his schoolwork, he wouldn't have enough time to administrate XR3. He left it to two very sad yet excited Moderators, Steven and Falco. The pair tried to take as good of care of the Club as Kevin had, and for a while hadn't been doing too bad of a job. But, spam had become a huge issue, and we lost many posts due to excessive spamming in the Games forum. Things again weren't looking so bright for The XR3 Club.
-The XR3 Club Rebirth and Redeath-
The Admins, Steven and Falco, decided to totally move The XR3 Club to a new forum hosting site, forumhope.com. Things looked bright, with a brand new look and title. Members came in, but not as many. Still, the first few weeks were happy and bright. But, as time went on, it got harder, and the new XR3 Club wasn't near to matching the previous' success. Finally, the admins decided to move back.
-The Last Good Life-
As of December 2nd of 2007, The XR3 Club seemed to be recovering nicely. It had over 100 members and several hundred posts. Everyone seemed to be happy and posts were coming in more and more. With new active members, it seemed to hold the promise of a bright, new chapter in The XR3 Club's history. But, as it turned out, it did not last long at all, and may have been the last rejuvenation of The XR3 Club, the once mighty giant.
-The Death of XR3-
As the new year of 2008 started the activity on the XR3 had declined and eventually by March it had gone dead. It had lost pretty much all it's members who had sadly gotten bored of coming here and posting. As stated in the previous event, the bright and new chapter has failed to happen and it is all very sad. Only occasional posts float in now.
R.I.P The XR3 Club Feb 2006 - March 2008 ='(
