From ConWiKi
ConfuseReviews.com is the website you were reading before you came over to the wiki, dumbass.
This page is the boring (and sparse) history of the site itself. For the far more interesting dirt on the goings on, check out the pages on ConfuseReviews Inc. and the ConfuseReviews Compound.

[edit] Origins
Back on January 9, 2006, Reid got bored and bet his friend Ian that he could write three articles in three different subjects, Marvel OverPower, peanut butter, and how badly he sucks at Soul Caliber. To this, Ian added a review of Ecco the Dolphin, a crappy Dreamcast game, and from there the site was born.
[edit] Original Format
Originally, the site was called I Am Error, and was hosted on some shitty free site with a black background and a bunch of sprite-based art. This was because Reid is terrible at art, but is an expert at copy/paste.
Finally, after the inclusion of fellow friend Zach as a writer, they decided to buy a domain and call it ConfuseReviews.com, and the legacy was born.
[edit] The First Year
During the first year of ConfuseReviews.com's insofar indefinite reign as the funniest website in the world, things were pretty shabby.
[edit] The Second Year
The second year was a little better, and there was a massive graphical change that made it look much better.
[edit] The Third Year
The first half of the third year was a trying time for the site, and there were months where half the days weren't even updated. But then, a shining light! The format was changed to the WordPress format it is today, and all writers were allowed to update it themselves, instead of having to rely on Reid. And lo, the writing did flourish, and then we made this wiki the end.
[edit] The Fourth Year
So far, not too shabby. About three-quarters of the way through, we've gained a new writer, who actually seems like she might stick around for a bit, so that's cool.
High points of the year so far: Syd's holiday adventures with random B-list celebrities and The Adventures of Winston Churchill!
