August 2006 We are working on clearing out the backlog of submitted timelines and events. July 2006 The new message boards are up and running. July 17, 2004 296 new timelines in the last 5 months April 29, 2004 You can now view the 20 latest events added to the site at all times. This page also provide information on the backlog of events waiting to be posted. You can also pick any year and see what timelines began or ended in that year. Search by Year February 28, 2004 It's been quite awhile since the last What's New. Here is the list of the 118 new timelines since January 18. NOTE: I messed up the new timeline page, so if you looked at it between Saturday the 28th and 7 pm Eastern Standard (U.S.) time on the 29th, you saw the timelines posted out of date sequence. This has been fixed. January 26, 2004 Contributers: Would you like your timelines featured on the home page and credited to you? Contact me with a list of events you'd like to see posted. Once they're up, you can replace them with others by notifying me. January 17, 2004 Added 8 new timelines to the previous list of new timelines . Changed the look of the home page. It's now very little text and lots of sample links. Also, in order to get pages to load more quickly, any page called from the calendar will now only bring up the timelines which start on that date. There is a link to show the entire page with all the timelines which had continuing events on that date. January 11, 2004 30 new timelines including the controversial US invades Canada timeline. Plus, an interesting twist on the Capone found innocent timeline - Snarky Enterprises!! December 21, 2003 56 new timelines Plus - vote for the biggest U.S. alternate news story of 2003. Nominate entries for the international news pollNovember 23, 2003 30 new timelines, and a greatly improved
message board, thanks to David Perritt. New Message Board I encourage you to create a login name. This will allow us to establish a community. However, creating a login name is not required. Benefits of logging in:
Please contact me with any problems you encounter. The Specific Timeline Discussion Forum has a thread tied to every timeline in the database. The most recently discussed thread will float to the top. This way you will be able to see which timelines are being discussed. The discuss timeline link located in every timeline brings you to this forum. This message board includes a comprehesive search function which allows you to search for data throughout all the threads. The discuss timelines link on the left hand side of every page leads to the specific timeline forum. The message board link at the top of each page links to the general discussion message board. Enjoy. November 2, 2003 23 new timelines. Thanks to Mike Wilson for the othertimelines.com logo on the home pageOctober 15, 2003 The first Cubs
fan grabs foul ball event has been submitted. October 13, 2003 As promised, the search engine has been greatly improved. It now allows multiple words to be searched and is no longer case sensitive. More improvements are still planned. Thanks to David. 5 new timelines have been added to the October 11 page. October 11, 2003 Seventeen new timelines, and as always, many explorations. I don't usually list the explorations, but one (timeline 231) seems so controversial that I think people might enjoy arguing about it. Please keep your arguments in the discussion board. If you argue by submitting events that change the timeline, I'll need to make a divergence. Coming in the next week - a much improved search engine! September 28, 2003 - I'm back from my trip. Thanks to Hurricane Isabel I didn't get to Shenandoah National Park. It was closed!. Ended up further south in Virginia. 25 new timelines in this update. A note: Several timelines have for some reason lost many of their entries or are not sorting correctly by date. If you notice this please let me know the timeline number. Thanks. Click Here for the September 28 List of New Timelines September 19, 2003 - I know an update is way overdue but I'm not going to get to do one until the beginning of October. As a matter of fact, nothing on the website will be updated between today and September 29 at the earliest. I'm going to be hiking the Appalachian trail in Shenandoah National Park and vicinity for a week or so. Once I'm back, I'll do an update and start making some long promised improvements like getting the submitter's credit back into the timelines. Feel free to continue submitting events. I'll eventually get them posted. Click Here for the September 2 List of New Timelines Click Here for the August 30 List of New Timelines August 17, 2003 I have a couple of technical issues and several new timelines. I occasionally have a question or historical problem with timelines that are submitted and can't post them until I've worked it out. If the submitter has given me an email address, I contact them. If not, they usually end up sitting around and never get posted. I am going to post a page describing the timelines I'm stuck on, hoping the submitter will see it and contact me. I'm going to make a policy that if a timeline is explored and the exploration seems to be going against the spirit of the original contributor, I will make a divergence for these explorations. What has been occurring lately is that a submitter with political leanings to the left or right will submit a timeline, but someone of the opposite side will explore the timeline making the other side "win". For example, (this has not been submitted) Person A may submit that Gray Davis wins the recall election. Person B ( a Davis hater) then submits an event saying "but upon recounting the votes it's found that Davis committed vote fraud and actually lost". That exploration will now become a divergence timeline of it's own so that Person A may explore what happens after Davis's win, while Person B can explore the results of the vote fraud. If you want to discuss or argue, use the "discuss this timeline" link on each timeline. See timeline 275 for an excellent example of a discussion.

Thanks very much to David Perritt for redesigning the entire site, and allowing me to post it before he was anywhere near satisfied that he had all the bugs out. Any errors you find are mine because I was in such a hurry to get this done. Please report any problem you see to me. We'll be continually looking for ways to improve the sight. Also please let me know if anything has become confusing or even missing. These changes will allow several new features.
As promised, I have added all of your submissions which were pending when I stopped updating in order to do the switchover. I have received a few more submissions since that date and will get them posted as quickly as I can. The new items are: Message Board
