Shireroth

Today (6th August) marks the day the Apollo Sector was founded in 1999. It is the day from which we count ASC dates. On this date, Audentior was founded for the first time way back when. We still have some of its original members with us.

Though many of us don't think about anything from before the GC, really, without Audentior, there would have been no Shireroth, no MCS, a far reduced online micronational presence that would have prolly gone in a different direction. It is certainly an important date in micronational history. (Note that Babkha would have, funnily enough, still have existed and flourished without Audentior )

In August of 1999 I was on holiday in the fine English county of Devon. At home I was on 56k dialup with AOL and I'd never even heard of micronations.

To think I was missing out on all that Apollonian action...

Apollo Day!

Even if it's not that any other day... and even if I have to shoot Erik to be able to say this...

Today, Shireroth is an Apollo nation!

* slinks back away to work on forum styles before anyone forces him to give a speech *

SPEE-! Damn, he's already slinked away...

Just don't let Erik catch you right after saying that!! He might have your hide!

Happy Apollo Day!! (Sorry, Erik)

Happy Apollo Day all ...

The proximity of Founder's Day to Apollo Day must have cosmic significance.

There would have proly have been a shireroth. I had the concept before I joined micronations, and before anything apollo..

so I say.. once again ...Meh... people putting to my stock into something useless.

I go away now..

Apollo is long dead now. It's our communities first ancient civilization.

Nods.

Egypt. Or Greece, if one prefers.

Greece more, I think ...

Oh, yeah, the other one was the Osiris Sector!
