Deltik History in a Nutshell The concept of Deltik was formulated on 31 March 2008 at 11:18 AM CDT. It was called DELTA Burnt Programming, later to be known as DELTA Burnt, then Delta Burnt, then DelTIk, then Deltik. Delta Burnt was a non-profit Texas Instruments graphing calculator programming group. The DELTA Burnt Website began to be created on 01 April 2008 and was finally set up on 08 April 2008.
On 07 April 2008, DELTA Burnt became Delta Burnt, which was a non-profit programming, gaming, and graphics design team. At the beginning of June 2008, Delta Burnt became DelTIk. The name DelTIk was a portmanteau of Delta, TI, and a k for "calculator". By the next month, July 2008, DelTIk lost its capitalization of "TI" as development on Texas Instruments calculators stopped and became Deltik.
For the first year of Deltik's life, it was extremely unstable. In the end, Deltik collapsed in May 2009 along with their fourth webhost, The Web World. Internal conflict and poor management led to the ruin of Deltik.
For the second year of Deltik's life, it was just another region of the Internet. Deltik served no purpose that year and was used primarily to host miscellaneous test scripts.
Plans to rennovate Deltik were made on 04 February 2011 and were carried out thusly. The goal was to deploy a completely redesigned Deltik by 31 March 2011, its third birthday anniversary.
What's New
1. We Have A Direction Deltik is a place where creative minds like you think up and make computer programs, Web scripts, or other unique and awesome stuff that nobody has ever thought of before.
2. New Management Deltik is now operated by people of the right ilk. No more internal conflict nor aimless struggling!
3. Community Restarted The general public of Deltik has been pruned and restarted. The majority shall no longer have eccentric people!
4. I Want It My Way To start off Deltik, I want to take charge of exactly how I want things to work. I have taken to my own custom development work, unlike previously, where complete strangers were asked to make something vague. There is now a site theme that I have redesigned to look the way I want it to.
5. Organized Design I have made a well-thought out layout of Deltik. Although some parts of the design are not favored by preliminary surveys, I feel that upon application, the design would be rather sturdy and somewhat flexible. Deltik was built around the content management system e107, and even then, I have made sure to allow space to be able to pluck e107 out and put in something else in the future. The code was made to accommodate change.
6. Ready to Govern Deltik now has an established Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy. With fair rules in place now, Deltik is prepared to handle non-compliance situations.
8. New Focus No longer is Deltik focused on internal conflict and selfishness. Deltik is now concerned about helping the users, whom are our bright inventors and idealists.
9. The New Webmaster Me, Nick! Inspired by Dale Carnegie, I have become a much better person. I can handle complaints, avoid arguments, keep human communication satisfactory, think new thoughts, acquire new visions, and get things done better.
10. The All-New Deltik Deltik's third birthday anniversary is on 31 March 2011. We've been around a long time, but it hadn't taken off in all that time... until now. For Deltik's third year of life, it's time to start right this time! Let's go!

Referral System or RSS Feeds. They are conflicting each other! That's a huge problem. We have to remove one of them. Vote in the poll to decide. If you wish to keep both, then you have to have a way to make them behave. Right now, RSS Feeds don't work because of the Referral System.
Poll results guess: RSS Feeds will go. Referral System will stay. People will want the Referral System.
Poll closes: Anytime. No date specified.
