This document is here to answer questions no one asked, but which I feel like answering. Partly because it's something to do and partly because it might be nice to put some of these things in writing.
Pre-History
The idea of Extremely Corporate (EC) probably emerged in its earliest form in 2013 when I first hosted a Minecraft server. I actually hosted many Minecraft servers from 2013 until 2016, each of which invariably only lasted a few months until either some technical issue stood in the way of using the same world or I and the people I was playing with got bored, or we got into some stupid fight.
The earliest of these Minecraft servers were set up to imitate the "Mindcrack" Minecraft server which was popular on YouTube at the time. Regardless of motivation, these servers comprise my first experience hosting some sort of service for people on the internet.
The Beginning
In 2019, I obtained the first piece of hardware which is still hosting some of the services running currently.
The Mumble is the start of what would eventually grow into EC (See The Mumble History), given that it is the first service that was hosted that continues to be hosted to this day. As per the Mumble history, a Mumble server was hosted intermittently between 2015 and 2020.
During the summer of 2020, I first made the Mumble server open to the public internet. I also began working on a website which I never finished and which was never hosted anywhere. On remembrance day 202
