1. When was the Thread Games forum created?

2. When the forum was branched off, did you only move the active games or did some others get transferred as well?

Looking in the forum and choosing the starting date of from “Beginning”, it looks like a bunch of old Botticelli thread games dating back to 2008 were moved into the forum first. The first non-Botticelli was 2/7/15 and then others started picking up in the middle of February.

January is when it was started.

Mostly just active game threads were moved, but if others get bumped up, we’ll move them too.

Here’s the announcement [post on ATMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=747485). Ed Zotti’s post is dated 27 Jan 2015.

Unclear. As far as I can tell, most identifiable thread games were transferred, but I can’t find any documentary evidence. I don’t know what decision criteria the [administrator](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) used to pick thread game threads out of the bunch for the move.
