RaspberryClock devised the early site design for ClockCrew.com back in 2001, the site never made it off the ground, but here are some rare looks at his site design:

this was the final design, and all of the site content would of been in that circular area in an Iframe.

Clockcrew.cc hosted the ClockCrew claycam. It was run by PineappleClock, Olskoo, RaspberryClock, OrangeClock, GrapesClock and KnottsberryClock. It was the 3rd Clock Crew site to date. It was perhaps the most well-loved of all the clock sites, often being at the very top of the Newgrounds Fan-Net. Later versions came with entertainment features, which included:

• a casino
• an arcade
• a currency system (Clock Credits) to use for those two features, plus other various BBS goodies
• clock crew newspaper
• an awards system (later on in its second version)

In addition to those, there were still many more features that were never completed. After some time, ClockCrew.cc was revamped, and the currency system eliminated. However, an awards system was put in place, which eventually turned ugly due to awards being given out capriciously. Clockcrew.cc finally shut down in August 2003 as a result of PintClock getting drunk and deleting the MYSQL database containing all of the BBS information.

The administrators of the site then created a series of puzzles to be solved each leading to another puzzle. While the chat room buzzed and Clocks wondered about the future of the website, eventually the puzzles stopped. The administrators had grown tired of the work and drama it took to maintain the site, and they gave it up. With many Clocks disillusioned, they searched for a new place to call their own.

This site was started by FrogbagClock, BobSagetClock and SchoolClock. It wasn’t up for very long, as members slowly disappeared. It had the following features:

• Dev Corner (School’s first ever library :D)
• Forum

“That was about it. But it rocked!” -SchoolClock

Originally a back-up site for .cc, when .cc was going through upgrade. After .cc’s downfall, it soon rose to a major clock site.

Clockcrew.net (v1) was owned by BiologicalClock and SchoolClock. Staff included MagicClock, MonkeyClock, FurberryClock, BlackBerryClock, BlueberryClock, LeekClock and KnightClock. Clockcrew.net was originally founded in 2003. All Clockcrew.net only consisted of a FLA library, and a BBS.

June 18, 2004 BiologicalClock, annoyed by Wtfnoob(See below) and people spamming his forums, left and clockcrew.net closed.

More to come soon!

A short lived site maintained by BlueClock and the primary Colour Clocks, (Green, Red, Blue).

Clockgrounds was started by zen, aka AtomicClock, in late September, 2003, and ended in May of 2004.

The original staff members were HexagonClock as Moderator, and MarijuanaClock as Super Moderator. Later on, positions would be given to core (also known as PS2Clock), MagicClock, DodgerClock, BitterClock, Rayne (also known as PurpleClock), OracleClock and ScotchClock.

Hexagon moved up to Super Moderator, and Marijuana became an administrator. Soon enough, MagicClock and Core would both be administrators as well. Just over 850 users joined Clockgrounds. Clockgrounds is said to be one of the worst Clock Crew websites ever established. After numerous ammounts of attacks by wtfnoob on Clockgrounds, zen closed the boards…because they were unstable, and it just wasnt fun anymore.

In October 2003, Koala created his own website, ‘SMcClure34 Productions’, and with this came a forum people could post in. However, the audience were primarily members of the Clock Crew, so he customized the style and added some plug-ins, and it soon became Clockcrew.co.uk (CCUK).

Through the months, several host difficulties, site design updates and customized plug-ins developed, Clockcrew.co.uk became the home for many clocks after the closure of Clockcrew.cc.

Clockcrew.co.uk closed in April 2005, after Koala decided after much thinking that he no longer had the time or money to maintain the site. Clockcrew.net had recently launched, as a new Clock Crew home developed by MagicClock to directly compete with Clockcrew.co.uk. As features were superior, and the possibilities were vast, Koala felt that the new cc.net would lead the clocks in a better direction than he was pointing them.

Operated by OnionClock and FrogbagClock, wtfnoob was a gathering of the elders and/or intelligent members in the Clock Crew. Members such as Shasta, Artichoke, Smurfberry, Royal, Arctic, bigbadron, Macintosh, Quartermelon, Cranberry, and many more. If you were an idiot, you would have been banned. Discussion of the Clock Crew on wtfnoob quickly became a bannable offense. Though, known members could constantly be seen harassing various Clock Crew and Lock Legion affiliated web sites. Many of these sites would be forced to shut down or temporarily go off line further discouraging wtfnoobs reputation towards the Clock Crew and it’s affiliates.

The Lock Legion would only further wtfnoobs actions by threatening OnionClock with legal actions against “internet terrorism,” a term commonly used for wtfnoobs actions. Followed by the release of various poorly made anti-wtfnoob flashes and declaring a “war against wtfnoob” in the current Lock Legion forum.

Members of wtfnoob were only further enticed to bother the Lock Legion. A mutual ground between the two would never be reached and many Lock Legion members still dislike those who fraternized with wtfnoob and it’s affiliates.

Eventually, MagicClock would join wtfnoob and spam various Clock Crew websites. MagicClock would turn his back on the Clock Crew and be welcomed into wtfnoob. MagicClock would eventually come back to the clock and be quickly forgiven; upon his return, he would also be given super moderator status. This came to be an advantage to wtfnoob. MagicClock could now unban members such as Grog, Onion, and Frogbag, and the harassment would continue. This resulted in the decline and closing of Clockgrounds.

Wtfnoob died many times. It was started in November of 2003. A member of the Clock Crew by the name of Cast, was an admin. Cast kept deleting the database and causing Onion to have to remake the site. He redid the site 6 times, before finally banning Cast. Wtfnoob finally got up and going around January of 2004. Smurfberry (aka Parabolart) designed the forums and the main page. There were a few different coders for wtfnoob, including Quartermelon, MagicClock, and Cranberry. Wtfnoob finally closed, but a few months later, would open up as “revolutionline.com” the site never lasted, and Onion eventually had it removed.

Members of wtfnoob can still be found at Buy Happiness, a site created shortly after the close of Revo-online but never quite achieved the same success of wtfnoob.

Clockse.cx was run by MilleniumClock and CoffeeClock in early 2003. Not much is known about this website.

Later on, while at Clockgrounds…MagicClock got sick of Clockgrounds…so he would create the site “zerohour” in January 2004. It was basically another Clock Site, just with a different name. Soon enough, Magic talked to MilleniumClock about making it clockse.cx (since it shut down months before). They both agreed and began to work on one of the best clock sites since Clockcrew.cc.

The staff of clockse.cx was more strict this time: limiting the idiots was the idea behind this. The Clock Crew was at a very unstable condition at this time. Wtfnoob was attacking every clock site.

Because MagicClock was friends with most the members of wtfnoob, Clockse.cx was never spammed or attacked. Clockse.cx lasted under the leadership of Millenium and Magic for a total of two months before the site was closed due to server issues. Nearly 300 people joined Clockse.

After a few months of lurking the Clock Crew, MagicClock decided to create another Clock Crew website in June 2004. Magic quickly contacted Millenium and asked if he could host. He agreed and yet another version of Clockse had begun.

The site rules stayed the same, limiting idiots. With the help of LeekClock, they created yet another great website. Unfortunately, this site did not last either. Millenium went out of the country, and after he left there were some problems with his billing information. There were issues with his credit card number, and he couldnt resolve it. The site unfortunately went down for about 20 days. Millenium finally got everything sorted out and things were back online, but only for another month. The domain name also changed from Clockse.cx to Clockland.cc. This had also become a problem, because the database wasn’t wanting to recognize users and there were errors everywhere. They settled enough of the errors for people to join and post. Nearly 400 people joined clockse.

This site opened in back in 2003, but was never maintained by KnottsberryClock. Then, in February 2005, he added a bunch of lost ClockCrew movies and made a few pages. Unfortunately, ClockCrew.info is no longer up and running.

It all started with the site of Clockcrew.co.uk closing. MagicClock, VirusClock, and GirClock all decided to work on a new Clockcrew website. Then, CCUK closed.. so MagicClock quickly made up a front page and immediately opened up the forums early.

MagicClock began to talk with LeekClock, Cranberry and Pineapple to help out with the site.

They agreed and helped out. Sadly, Cranberry left to work on his own site (skuddle) Ever since then, several members who have not been active since the closing of Clockcrew.cc have returned, including GrapesClock, OrangeClock, KnottsberryClock, RadishClock, PineappleClock, CranberryClock, Biggskoo, BoysenberryClock, Mini3DDoritosClock, vic viper, super0sonic, RootBeerFloat, and many others.

After a period of a few months, the site once again grew unstable. PineappleClock went into hiatus, although still partially active, and the sites funding sources came into question as development stopped.

After this dark period, BitClock took the reins and set up a network infrastructure to host ClockCrew.net and its various projects, his expertise in network administration made the server secure and stable. Soon thereafter, PineappleClock and others started actively developing the clockcrew site, making it better, faster and stronger. The admin team consisted of LeekClock, BitClock, PineappleClock, TreeClock and others. However, the site came to turmoil and went down several times, most notably when BitClock’s temperamental nature got the best of him and he pulled the plug early 2006 after an irreparable burning of bridges.

So once again, it was time to rebuild.

ClockCrewRadio.com featured the short lived but popular radio system based on Winamp’s shoutcast plugin. It was engineered by BitClock but was popular with a wide audience. Bit shut this site down as well.

Originally StrangeClock’s personal site, he generously made the site available for the use of the Clock Crew as a back up site when CC.net went down. It was a basic phpBB site, crude and nearly featureless, but the free spirit of the site was refreshing after the tension surrounding .net before its fall. Some even claimed it to be the best clock site ever, due to the simplicity and anarchy of the place. However, the novelty wore off, and most members were glad to return to .net. The site was administrated by StrangeClock, KoalaClock, SchoolClock, AlbinoClock, CorpsegrinderClock, and the rest of the previous admin team of Clockcrew.net (with the obvious exception of Bit) The site was closed when Clockcrew.net went back up in March, though a renovation project is underway to improve the site should it be needed again.

Finally, just when tensions had started to mount at clocktopia, clockcrew.net was restored, though with severe losses in the Art Showcase, Clockopedia, and Clockspace. RenegadeClock managed to get a hold of the domain name, and clockcrew.net was moved to Strange’s server. With the lesson in leniency learned from BitClock’s totalitarian regime and from the free spirit of clocktopia, the site was in better spirits than before. The site continued with notable stability. The admin team consisted of Sage, Pineapple, Renegade, Tree, Leek, and QuarterMelon.

During the second half of 2006 leek and other staff members of cc.net decided to bring back cc.cc, as the best site ever, with as many workable features as possible, to give a pleasant and fun working environment for the clocks. As pineapple clock came out of a long hiatus of not speaking much to work on the basis for the site, and leek started designing two skins, tom fulp of Newgrounds offered the clockcrew, without anybody asking, permanent, free hosting or the new site. The offer was accepted and the work started. over the later months of 2006 leek, piney, with the help of the other admins and strangeclock, made and moved the site to the newgrounds server.

There was already speculation among clocks tat cc.cc was coming back and when it was finally posted on cc.net that the site would be operational within a week and a databse backup had been made, the clocks were free to post as they liked, and cc.net turned into a hilarious spamfest. on (INSERT DATE HERE PLEASE) of 2006 clockcrew.cc came online. Drclock was the first to post.

At this time the site was just a bbs with a new dashboard and two new skins. Over the next month pineapple clock coded and implanted the clockfriend system, the new library (able to hold more than just fla’s, the competition system, the clockopedia, and add the pages for the clockcrew cd’s and tiem magazine.

In time, piney and leek hope to implement many other features including the portalgrapher, the clockspace system, a front page, and possible the cc money system.

A long while back redplum got together a bunch of pictures of various clocks and put them up on a crappy little tripod website. There have been several reiterations (notably tree’s Clocktropolis, which is still in operation) but it has stood the test of time and offered a glimpse of an older crew and members near forgotten to clocks new and old.
