The timeline, per [[SomeBois]]: the team spent close to 100 days trying and failing to get Yotsuba working, then SomeBois asked [[Yushe]] for his engine; Yushe polished it for a few weeks before sending it, and the site was live about a month after that. That accounts for both figures the wiki had: ~150 days for the whole project (SomeBois), and ~1 month of real building on the working engine ([[Taro]]).

[[SomeBois]] has settled it: '''13 August 2026'''. The 10th was the planned launch day, but SomeBois slept through it; the 12th retry ran past midnight into the 13th, which is when the first posts landed. SomeBois has said the FAQ and any other page still showing 8/10 will be changed to the 13th.

	~~Per [[Taro]], building started roughly a month before launch, so around mid-July 2026.~~ The first attempt ran on the leaked original 4chan engine, which the team found ~~unworkable~~. They switched to an engine ~~written~~ by [[Yushe]], a large improvement, ~~which Yushe~~ handed over with little discussion. It is what the site still runs.

They switched to an engine by [[Yushe]] that [[SomeBois]] calls the "3chan engine", a large improvement, handed over with little discussion. It is what the site still runs. [[Taro]] was the developer and did the security work.

			How long the build took is given two ways: [[Taro]] puts the focused work at about a month before launch (so around mid-July 2026); [[SomeBois]] estimated "like 150 days ago", which would push the start into spring. Likely the difference between when the idea started and when serious building did. See [[2swagg wiki:To do]].

	== Founding date ==		== Founding date ==
	The ~~site gives more than one~~ launch ~~date~~, and the ~~reason~~ is ~~now understood:~~ the ~~operator edited~~ the homepage's ~~"went live on" line twice~~.		[[SomeBois]] has now given the answer: '''13 August 2026'''. The plan was to launch on the 10th, SomeBois slept in and missed it, the next attempt on the 12th ran so late that it was already the 13th, so the 13th it is. The "8/10" still sitting in the FAQ and the earliest homepage copy is, in SomeBois's words, a leftover left in by accident.

			For reference, the values that appear across the site:
	{\| class="wikitable"		{\| class="wikitable"
	\|-		\|-
	! Where !! Date !! ~~Note~~		! Where !! Date !! Status
	\|-
	~~\| Original homepage copy (earliest recoverable) \|\| 8/10/2026 \|\| the starting value~~
	\|-		\|-
	\| FAQ \|\| ~~August 10th,~~ 2026 \|\| ~~still matches~~ the original; ~~never updated~~		\| FAQ, and the earliest homepage copy \|\| 8/10/2026 \|\| the original plan; stale leftover
	\|-		\|-
	\| ~~Homepage, second revision~~ \|\| 8/12/2026 \|\| ~~also~~ the ~~date on the "WELCOME TO 2SWAGG!!!" post~~		\| "WELCOME TO 2SWAGG!!!" changelog post \|\| 8/12/2026 \|\| the second attempt
	\|-		\|-
	\| Homepage / rules footer, current \|\| 8/13/2026 \|\| the ~~value now shown~~		\| Homepage / rules footer, current \|\| 8/13/2026 \|\| '''the actual date'''
	\|}		\|}
	So the FAQ (8/10) and the current footer (8/13) are two different things the operator wrote at two different times, not a copy-paste slip. Which one counts as "the" founding date is the operator's call. See [[2swagg wiki:To do]].
