Forgive me if this is documented somewhere already, but I´ve never seen it. What exactly is the full story of how @Pac started the site in 2013 and how did it get to what it is today? I only see little or big chunks of information about this scattered around the forums based on people´s memories or what they have heard. So I want the pieces to fit together, what is the full story of how started? Or where can I find it if is documented already.

I’d start here https://www.speedrun.com/users/Pac/comments?page=17

@Act_, @SkittlesCat will still have to piece it together lol. And I assume he has already looked at @Pac's old posts

@SkittlesCat, the site used to have an old changelog, which stopped being updated once Elo brought the site, and the page has now been removed with this new redesign.

There is an [archived version here](http://web.archive.org/web/20220129172439/https://www.speedrun.com/changelog)

I'd also look at the [site's old News posts](/news?page=8)

@Act_ and @YUMmy_Bacon5 I have looked into some of those posts and while they provide a lot information, even if I dig into it all I still will not get the full story of how this site was started and everything there is to know about who this @Pac guy is. I would appreciate if someone who joined early in the site could tell me at least the basics of how this site got started and what caused @Pac to start it and the major events that led to what it is today. Heck, I would even like to know some little-known facts about Elo obtaining this site.

Not sure what exactly you're hoping to learn here, but the only people that know anything specific about the deal are Pac and Elo. Pac dropped off the face of the earth and hasn't been heard from since, and I doubt anyone at Elo is at liberty to discuss internal business dealings.

I don't mean their business dealings, yeah I don't think there's anything like that to know with Elo I guess.
