Summary (Incomplete)
The very first Iwaku, now known as Iwaku 1.0. The background color was a bluish-white in color. Also a fun fact was that it was a half role-play, half Dot//Hack worshiping site. This was because of Lord Peridox's love of Dot//Hack. It contained a forum called Net Slums that was devoted to the Dot//Hack games. Gabriel Zero was responsible with recruiting members for Iwaku 1.0.
In many way's Iwaku was a cross between Megatokyo and the Dragon-Tear forums as members from both places were present at Iwaku 1.0. The creator, Lord Peridox was from Dragon-Tear along with many other members, it can be said that Iwaku is based off of Dragon-Tear.
Also during Iwaku 1.0 when Lord Peridox was the admin and Gabriel Zero was her second. Razilin started a thread that was called "Nerf Castle". This is where he started a fictional Revolution against the Tyrants, Lord Peridox and Gabriel Zero. The story both started and ended in Nerf Castle, Razilin's stronghold.
Razilin died when Nerf Castle collapsed, with his final words being "Viva la Revolution!"
After a short time period, the thread was revived, as was the storyline. Razilin actually cloned himself so he could restart the "Revolution". This time, his troops consisted of RazBots. He was again defeated, largely due to the interference of Archetype, who used an EMP blast to nullify the RazBot legions. The original thread was lost in the crash of Iwaku 1.0
Dragonman started a comic on Iwaku 1.0 called Reality Mods. It stared Arsenal and Himself. His rendition of Archetype was what Gabriel Zero based Arsenal off of for his Iwaku Bomb, something which Arsenal regretted.

The Crash
Summary (Incomplete)
The brief time period after the end of Iwaku 1.0. Term was coined by Razilin to describe the mass chaos and confusion that occurred after the deletion of Iwaku 1.0 by Lord Peridox for personal reasons. No one knew what was going on, and much scrambling went on trying to bring Iwaku back. Many erroneously contributed the Crash to a Proboards server change, since the deletion of Iwaku 1.0 was concurrent with a mass Proboards downtime.
During this time Homac contacted Gabriel Zero. Not wanting to lose Iwaku, Homac created Iwaku 2.0. Gabriel became second in command once more. Iwaku was only down for about a day and a half. A great majority of members ended up sending Gabriel Zero PM's from where he found them originally. The only member that found her own way to Iwaku was Curse Raven, with the help of Astorite

Iwaku 2.0, The beginning
The beginning was a crash, several members sent PM's to Gabriel from the sites that he had found them. Many members were upset about how everything vanished leaving them to have to start over. Several blamed Lord Peridox for it all. Homac stated in the "Welcome to the New Iwaku" thread to all the old members of Iwaku not to blame Peridox for the deletion of the original Forum. Other members were lost to the internets. Frustration was high so was anger.
The beginning colors was a dark black background and white text, Homac the new Admin could not find the color scheme of Iwaku 1.0 and settled on the black with white text. But in many ways Iwaku 2.0 was almost the exact same as Iwaku 1.0. The Forums went in the following order with these said names.
