Ectozone Index: May 13, 2003
The original Digibusters page. I was originally going to split the site between Ghostbusters and Digimon (thus the name "Digibusters"), with the Ectozone being the Ghostbuster section, and the Digimon section to be named "Digital Nexus". I abandoned the idea and the whole site evolved into the Ectozone as we know it today. But eventually, I'd come back to the Digimon idea to create this
Ghostbusters Omnibus Timeline: May 13, 2003
Salvaged from an old backup, for historical purposes, the version of the Timeline as a first posted it. A lot of stuff got taken out quickly, including some very different directions for the original Ghostbusters post-EGB compared to the collaborative GBI/GBOT fanon. The Timeline was first posted as one massive page.
Ectozone Index: August 18, 2003
A look at the Ectozone page before I subdivided it and it "took over" the whole site.
Ectozone Index: October 26, 2003
A look at the home page after I'd started to divide it, and experimented with button images. By now the Ectozone has taken over the prime index page, and it's officially (as of October 6, 2003) "Ectozone.com".
Ghostbusters Omnibus Timeline: 88MPH Studios
A little experiment I did pruning the Timeline just for the 88MPH series. A lot of it is already apocryphal (ie everybody would have to be at least five years older by the mini-series) but it was fun diversion.
Ectozone Index: December 29, 2003
The first version of the page with the Ghostbusters Legion illustration; this early on, it was in pencil colors. It wasn't until May 2004 that it was computer colored.

Early draft of the chapter of backstory I wrote for Chronicles of Gozer

My review of the long-awaited 88MPH comic series' premiere issue.

Ectozone Index: May 13, 2005

Ectozone Index: September 13, 2006
The twentieth anniversary of The Real Ghostbusters. Also, basically the last version of the homepage before I started using stylesheets
Ectozone Index: November 13, 2006
The first homepage of "Ectozone 3.0", evolving the look of the site even further with the use of Cascading Stylesheets. The CSS code is embedded in this page, so even if the look changes again, it'll still be an accurate recreation.
Ectozone Index: May 13, 2007
