The Nintendo Fortress was founded on October 10th 2005. It was made shortly, by King Boo, after a forum named "The Blue Castle" v2.0 had been closed down. TNF was off to a good start, with over 30 members joining and just over 1000 posts made in 3 days. Then, TNF had to close down due to the bandwidth already being consumed ^^; The owner, Bowserman, didn't bother making a new TNF until late Octover. It was on "InvisionFree". It only had 7 members and 69 posts made in around 5 days, so Bowserman closed it down.

There was no TNF, until November 27th 2005. It was on a server called "funpic". The forum software was SMF 1.0.5. It was new to most members of TNF. It had over 10,000 posts and 92 members in 2 months. Then it was decided to move to another funpic server with the forum software IPB2. The new TNF was abandoned.

The new new TNF is the current TNF. When it first opened, it got lots of activity, and posts in the "spam" forum. -_-; Then we introduced stuff like the badge system, competitions, the ibstore, and more features. It was going so great, over 12,800 posts, 130 members, then came April 12th. That day was the worst ever for TNF. It was the day, an admin's account's (I wont say the name) password was "cracked/hacked" and the "cracker/hacker" got into the admin cp and deleted the 12,800 posts, 2 members and the spam forum "The Pointless Zone". Bowserman just happened to be on the "broadband" computer, and signed on msn, because he forgot to before. Two people, named DrunkenSquirrel and Calvat told him that the posts were disappearing. I looked, and only around 1/4 posts were there. Bowserman's account was deleted, so he couldn't stop him. But, hen coems in phpmyadmin. Bowserman logged into that and manually deleted the hacker, and the account that was used. TNF had been saved. Luckily, the first memebr of TNF was indead a test account, so Bowserman put that account into the root admin group, and fixed things up the next day. Since then, TNF hasn't been all that active in some areas of the board.

Quite a few things have happened to TNF's existance, from October 12th 2005 to this current date, April 23rd 2006.
