Sometimes when I was bored without a computer to do any mapping, I would plunge into other user's diary entries (pardon for prying into those) to dig up at least some things which happened in OGF before I came into OGF.
I decided to compile all of such 'significant' events' in OGF here, along with the supporting diary entries (the dates may be inaccurate).
Key milestones
- 1 September 2013: The launch of the OGF website (by Joschi81 and Thilo)

This year (2018) will be OGF's 5th anniversary. If there could be a suitable time for the grand opening of the western continents and/or AR120, it could be on 01/09/18. Anyway, I can't believe OGF is turning 5 this year, and I hope for something special to happen this year.
Anyway, it is still slightly too early to take about OGF 2023. But I think we should soon think about the future of OGF soon.
