This timeline was researched and documented by the Darknet community itself — thank you to every community member who reported, verified and shared these events as they happened. If you spot something missing or incorrect, get in touch and help us keep the record straight.

	~~Another massive thank~~ you to <strong>/u/samwhiskey</strong> for providing information about what has been happening on the DarkNet since September 2023 through their "weekly whiskey" (renamed from Darknet News after their 100th post). They have been a significant contributor to the DarkNet, and ~~their efforts have especially made my tasks easier~~.
