He's still not human. Having accomplished nothing of significance in my entire life, I find people who pull these things off suspicious.
(Plus, anyone who can watch some of the latter episodes of GB has got to have some sort of powers...)
One question, though... I noticed you still have the family orgins on the timeline, but since these were established in RGB, should they really be there yet?

That's why they're all listed as "Conjectural". Meaning "I consider this fact still valid until Red Ketchup and Company say otherwise", while also subltely (?) hinting maybe "Don't change this, Please?"
The new timeline is, as I said, whacked out of the framework of the Omnibus Timeline. I first started the Omnibus almost five years ago, when we got our first computer (it was past it's time then, but it had a word processing program and it was all I needed. **Evil Chuckle**). The first versions where written with XGB still fresh in my mind, and augmented by the reruns of RGB on Fox Family about the time I started writing it. Over the last few years I kept coming back to it, adding and occassionally deleting facts...it was purely for my own amusement, and some of the things I wrote in it reflected that (for example, an early version I posted included some conjectural matters on the origins of the primal gods...Dr. Spectrum persuaded me to delete it, and he was right. I also wrote in a really filthy joke on the XGB episode featuring Eduardo being put in Pagan's body. That went out quick too)
I changed a lot more when I discovered the Ghostbusters net community late last year. For example, I had different names to Ghostbuster relatives derived from the GBI campaign my brother and friends ran years ago. But out came "Conrad Venkman" and "Julius Stantz" to make way for "Charlie Venkman" and "David Stantz", ect...
Then there was the thread RGB Truly Canon With the Movies? where I finally mentioned this thing I'd been working on. With the aforementioned encouragement of Dr. Spectrum, Brian_Reilly, and my Great Friend Doc Ryedale I converted it to html, started a Lycos account, and kaboom...there it is.
And like I said...I have no life...
Born2bustheads: Holy Crap!!! I think you are utterly, completely right about that!!!  1978 for the New Timeline, 1958 for the Omnibus!!! That is some great work!!! Thank you!!! Expect to see the change reflected in both timelines later tonight or tomorrow morning. A Six-pack of Coke and a box of Twinkies to you! (See folks...I don't remember everything  )

Yup, Mr. Veedramon, once again excellent work. You deserve a prize for this.
I can't say much more than has been said except that I can only hope this will be quicker easier for you to maintain/work on than the Omnibus Timeline since this is a work just starting out.

That is SO COOL! Lots of research and work went into that I bet.
BTW< you have Louis being born twice: 1979 and 1980 I think.
Great work!!

Oh Fritz, something just crossed my mind while doing the Fact List. It's a entry to cover both 1959 and 1989/90
The Ghost invasion combatted by the fire fighters of Hook and Ladder No.8, which happened in 1959, and then the Historic Monument Status being placed on the Hook and Ladder No.8 Firehouse in 1989/90.
Whoops, realised this is the wrong timeline topic

Some minor modifications have been made to the New Timeline. First, some information supplied to me by Kingpin and Doc Ryedale has been added, but the most important tweak is in the date entries starting with the conjectured birth of Winston Zeddemore in 1973...
Thirty Years Ago (1973)
Let's face it folks, most comic books don't progress in anything close to "real time." To explain what I mean, just look at Spider-Man...if he aged in real time, he'd be in his late fifties and thinking about retirement by now. But inside the Marvel Universe itself, only approximately ten years have passed compared to forty in the real world. (A 1/4 time progression is a good average...I seem to recall some validation of it during the Spider Clone arc of the mid-Nineties, a reference to the original story taking place "five years ago" when it was twenty in Real Life)
I have no idea yet whether 88MPH will follow suit, or keep a "real time" perspective, but this way we're covered whichever way they go.

Good job, Mr. Veedramon. I personally hope it's done in the '1/4' timeline aspect, because by now the GBs in all the other continuities would be....old. If this comic is as succesful as I hope it is, I wouldn't want it to eventually follow the same fate and have them get....old...again. After all, enough classic titles actually have this problem, Ultimate X-men was developed as a completely new continuity to solve this-the main continuity had the characters too old by now.
I babble too much.

I made a post in the other Timeline topic about some info I pulled out of the GB1 movie novelization. Since I don't have the time right now to move it here (darn job!), I'll just say it might fit into the Timeline, since it's info on Peter, Ray and Egon's families.
