🎫 DISCORD TOUR

**August 16, 2020:** earliest currently recovered cross-room operational reference—Mugs sends anyone who gets lost to "#🎫｜ul-discord-tour". **August 19, 2020:** earliest currently recovered explicit Lobby handoff calling it the "server map". **June 6, 2021:** first surviving message in the dedicated Tour transcript. None of those dates is safely the channel's creation date. Please admire the provenance behaving itself.

A dedicated channel export can begin later than the channel's actual working life. Announcements and Lobby keep pointing into the Tour, which lets the site establish minimum operational chronology without pretending the surviving Tour file is omniscient. The surrounding rooms are not side chatter here; they are the witnesses.

The corrected rule is simple: **August 16, 2020 = earliest currently recovered operational reference. August 19, 2020 = earliest currently recovered explicit Lobby "server map" handoff. June 6, 2021 = first surviving message in the dedicated Tour export.** If an earlier receipt turns up later, the operational boundary moves again. History is allowed to update when the receipts do.

We still do not have a proven Tour creation timestamp or a complete dated version history of every stop, description and redesign. The site can explain what the Tour was doing, and by when, without inventing the exact minute somebody first hung the map on the wall.
