Nothing is much known about the early days of 2b2t, except that the server began in December of 2010. Some that do claim to have joined during this time say that there was nothing spectacular on the server, and that by the end of the month, spawn was already a mess.

During 2011, a lot of things happened. The largest event was that of the formation of the Facepunch Republic. 2011 is also when many now-famous oldfags joined, like Offtopia, xcc2, and popbob.
