3rd July UD goes live.
4th July The first known suggestion is made, on the mailing list. It asked for players to be able to write on walls.
7th Sept The wiki is created.
Before 16th Sept Suggestions page begins. The page history is now gone, but the talk page was archived, so we still have it here.
16th+ Sept Questions raised about the wisdom of deleting suggestions outright.
18th Sep A page was suggested to detail what was wrong with common bad suggestions.
21st Sept Time limits to voting were first recommended. A "Bad ideas" archive was proposed.
Probably 26th Sept Infection Suggestions page is created. (It is no longer used.)
23rd Sept First suggested to put suggestions on their own page. Voting rules for splitting ideas into good, bad and funny groupings were put forward.
14th Oct Another proposal for a voting system. Kill, Keep, Change and Neutral and combinations thereof (all in bold) are proposed as names for votes. A plus, a minus or a smiley (for humorous ideas) are proposed as alternatives.
6th Nov A new suggestion system was put into place.


30th April 2007 A policy passes to reduce suggestion-cycling time by moving to a system where each suggestion has each own page, and categories are used to group suggestions.
