Brief History
GATORnet's roots go back to 1931, when Mark Hushkins and Nik Milidis, recent graduates of Liberty Regional Technical Institute, founded GATORTelly to address the communication challenges in rural Anagonia. Their early work in establishing a national communications grid caught the attention of the Confederate Military, leading to a contract to develop military-grade radio systems during the Great War (1931-1951). By the late 1940s, they introduced a groundbreaking handheld radio system, revolutionizing battlefield communications.

After the war, GATORTelly rebranded as GATORnet Incorporated in 1951, expanding into civilian telecommunications. The company played a key role in building Anagonia’s modern telecom infrastructure, from laying underground landlines to developing the Fleet Communications Network (FCN) in the 1960s, which provided secure military communications via satellite. They also greatly assisted telecommunications capabilities for CASA to assist in its undertaking of its Apollo missions.

In 1975, GATORnet introduced the GATORPhone, its first consumer mobile device, followed by the GATOR-P2 in 1988, which integrated early internet capabilities. Over the next decades, the company continued to innovate, upgrading networks, launching satellites, and expanding its product line with devices like the GATOR-P4 and GATORPadd. Major infrastructure projects in the 1990s and 2000s helped solidify GATORnet’s position as a global telecommunications leader.

Today, GATORnet remains at the forefront of telecommunications in Anagonia, providing cutting-edge services for both civilian and military sectors, while continually evolving to meet the demands of a rapidly changing digital world.


GATOR OS Operating System
GATOR OS, developed by GATORnet Incorporated, is the proprietary operating system that powers the entire range of GATORnet devices, from personal mobile phones to advanced military communication systems. Initially created to manage early PDAs and communications equipment, GATOR OS has since evolved into an adaptable and highly secure platform used across both civilian and military networks.

GATOR OS became widely recognized in 2025, with its integration into the GATORPadd, GATORnet’s flagship smartphone and PDA hybrid. The operating system's unique blend of functionality, security, and versatility made it an instant hit among business professionals and consumers alike. With a sleek user interface, AI integration, and seamless cross-device compatibility, GATOR OS has set a new standard in Anagonia’s technology industry.

Beyond its success in mobile devices, GATOR OS serves as the core platform for GATORnet’s line of personal computers, offering unparalleled performance and flexibility. Its powerful infrastructure allows for synchronized communications, whether you're using a GATORPadd or a desktop system. The cross-device syncing ensures a seamless experience across all GATORnet products, helping users transition smoothly between mobile, desktop, and military-grade systems.

GATOR OS continues to evolve, incorporating cutting-edge features such as advanced security protocols, AI-driven productivity tools, and optimized performance for both personal and professional use. By ensuring top-tier security features and unparalleled ease of use, GATOR OS is the backbone of Anagonia's digital landscape, providing everything from day-to-day tasks to the critical infrastructure needed for military operations.

From GATORPhones to the modern GATORPadd and beyond, GATOR OS is the key driving force behind Anagonia’s leadership in global telecommunications.


GATORnet v0.1a and Onward
The original, alpha variant of GATORnet Social Media was intended as a simplistic text-messaging application to be used on any phone and easily downloaded from multiple app stores. By August 30th of 2015, Orin Milidis constructed a primitive website to play host to the newly created social media platform. GATORnet v0.1a was then updated to v0.2b after a few months in operation, updating many of the components to send and receive messages but maintaining its simplistic messaging style. GATORnet would not undergo any significant updates for several years, until June 5th of 202 when it was given its largest update to v0.4b which gave the social media app a wider area of use and accessibility to various providers and services. Once again GATORnet underwent very few significant updates for a few years, allowing time for the social media platform to adjust to significant changes introduced in V0.4b.

On October 13th, 2032, GATORnet Incorporated introduced update v0.5a, nicknamed the "Mark and Nik Update" in honor of the companies original founders. The new update allowed the social media application access to international networks and the world community at large. Several hundred servers were brought online, just in case there would be a significant influx of traffic from the international to domestic side. Additional securities were put into place, permitting very few domestic-side GATORnet posts to reach the international community, however allowing international posts and comments to be seen and replied to by domestic audiences.

On October 16th, 2032, GATORnet Incorporated introduced update v0.5.1a nicknamed the "Great Capacity" update. This update concentrated preliminary on the capacity of GATORnet to handle extra international traffic and introduced several fixes from the previous version. Additional securities were put in place to assist with the update.

On December 11th, 2032, GATORnet Incorporated introduced update v0.5.2b nicknamed the "Cyberbully Prevention" update. This update was constructed and coded with assistance from NSTech and the Confederate National Intelligence Agency. Due to previous vulnerabilities discovered in V0.5.1a from bot attacks, the GATORnet team went all out with bot-prevention techniques and additions; Log-in screen, 2-factor authentication, and various other still-classified cybersecurity measures. The update also introduced the first instance of browser extension support and video-and-voice group calling, thanks to the assistance from NSTech.

On October 11th, 2034, GATORnet Incorporated introduced update V0.6a nicknamed "The Horizon Update". This update introduced greater capacity for GATORnet Social Media, greater reach, and greater bandwidth for images and text.





RULES:
(PLEASE HAVE ALL POSTS AS IN-CHARACTER CONTENT. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? SEND A TG Anagonia FOR ASSISTANCE.)

GATORnet moderators and administrators (typically NPC's unless specified) typically exercise a "liberal" policy of policing the social media platform. GATORnet is and was always intended to be an unrestricted platform that allowed all Anagonian citizens the liberty to express themselves as they saw fit. The only restrictions on the platform are as follows:

--- 1.) Maintain and Observe Proper Common Sense Guidelines at ALL TIMES
(Failure to abide is a bannable offense)
--- 2.) No pornographic material
(self explanatory)
--- 3.) No doxxing of individuals or military assets
(bannable offense if found out - unless otherwise approved)
--- 4.) Observe age restriction filters
(no one under the age of 18 permitted to use International version [v0.5a and up] of GATORnet; instant ban if found out. This rule does not apply to domestic version v0.4.9b)
--- 5.) Use the proper format for accessing GATORnet
(See below for format; instant ban if bypassing formatting filters to access GATORnet Networks and Services)
--- 6.) Humans/Non-humans are allowed; No Children of any Species Permitted
(Any Human/Non-Human Character is allowed except children; period. Bannable offense)
--- 7.) Be as tolerant as civilly possible; repeated offenses will equal banning
(Anagonia is a diverse, tolerant nation of gender, sexualities, species, and cultures; Respect that viewpoint; Repeated offenses to this perspective are bannable)





POST FORMAT
GATORnet v0.6a incorprorates greater advancements in its capacity to allow users to share and use data.

Hey folks!

GATORnet Social Media International has been updated from version 0.5.2b to 0.6a!

It has been a solid two years since any pending updates, notified or otherwise, were mentioned on GATORnet. In that time we've had extensive work on our hands upgrading internal and external systems to support greater bandwidth and traffic. I'm pleased to announce that today marks the completion of this! We hope you enjoy your new GATORnet experience, and as always, feel free to let us know what you think!

Minor Fix

I've corrected two slight oversights.

Minor Fixes:
-- Fixed formatting
-- Fixed a possible crash issue

We'll be monitoring the rollout of v0.6a for future fixes, however we have no plans to update the version further until we spot something drastic.

Huh. So I guess taking that laptop from the Gonswanzans was a good idea. Hey there! Margaret Campbell here! Can't believe I can get signal here in the KTO joint occupied zone. It is the only place that is starting to shape up to the modern standards of others beyond Minstekko and Foggycap. Apparently. Weird that it's 2034 here, but 2024 beyond the Badlands. Not complaining though. Everything almost looks the same between here and Foggycap.

Has anyone heard about the DEV-EX: A Fandom Convention being held in Katase this year?! It sounds amazing and I'm really considering going! Lot of good musical line-ups, guests speakers, and some good merchants!

You're in Gonswanza?! I used to live there! Long story, no need to elaborate, but I live in Anagonia now. The way times and dates are situated here in Esvanovia is quite different, particularly Anagonia. You get used to it after a while.

Erm, I'm in Minstekko actually. A territory in the Badlands that is on the road to independence from Foggycap. Like Foggycap, we too have a Joint Occupied Zone, for the KTO to be based out of given a lack of an actual, effective military. Though, we are attempting to field new weapons soon to make up for a lack of manpower.
