Such a sad moment in the history of blocktopia :(, 2 servers shut down and no more classic.
But, with the closing of the classic servers, the premium servers will all become more active!

Theoretically - it wasn't us stealing JTEs map.

It was more us taking (buying) her software for $10. In her software it defied physics in which water/lava mechanics were reworked. Moreover, loading/reloading was in JTE's software. I'd know mainly because I use to play on JTE's server and still regularly talk to JTE.

I don't doubt TheOne made a lot of the maps for the original Lava Survival, but what importance JTE had is becoming an early developer (creating new ideas) and having the first software for TheOnes Lava. If JTE had never came around or sold her software, mail2345 would of shortly came around later to create his software.

Can I suggest to divide your timeline into 4 eras?

First era - Birth of TheOne to name change. "TheOne Era"
15th (+- 2weeks :p) July 2009 - 3rd December 2010
Its self-explanatory.

Second era - Name change to launch of Primordia. "Classic Era"
3rd December 2010 - 21st October 2011
Classic servers were strong during that period.

Third era - Launch of Primordia to shutdown of Classic. "Transition Era"
21st October 2011 - 30th April 2013
Classic server began to lose its playerbase share because of various reasons like addicting Premium servers, Mojang actions, hackers and incompatibility with Java 7.

Fourth Era - Shutdown of classic - stuff and things. "Premium Era"
30th April 2013 - ???
Self-explanatory.

So...
In First Era 5 servers were created. "Big Bang"
In Second Era one server was created (prim was "next era") and one was shutdown. Things were "laid back"
In Third Era 9 servers were created and 4 were shutdown. WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO---------
In Fourth Era one server is under development now and 3 were shutdown. Keep going!

-----------------------------------------------------Merged to avoid doublepost--------------------------------------------

Sploorky is taking over Elysium for month.

Very nice timeline!
Since everybody else posted their join dates and whatnot - I feel like I should post mine.

It was in the First Era (or so call it), I can't remember exactly but I remember starting in July, but, I didn't hit the forums until August. (That's when I began to enjoy MC a lot)

I first found out about sometime in 2012, but it was sort of like a "mini-game" server, and after a few months a "mini-game" called smp came out then, I think another month later SmP 4 (or the SmP before JtE) replaced the "mini-games." However, for some reason I can't find any record of this part of blocktopia's history, and I'm not sure why..... : |

Minigames as in A+T? They came out along with AoD and before SMP 4. It lasted shorter than SMP 4 itself.
