Once upon a time, an Ace Attorney fan named Croik opened a little website named Court-Records.
It wasn't a lot to look at (sorry, Croik, that's why you hired Wooster), and the news came in as hand-added tables on the front page. Affiliate banners were available for those interested, and a fanlist and LiveJournal communities rounded out the recommended links. (And yes, one of them was specifically for Phoenix/Edgeworth slash.)
It didn't have its own domain; its forums lived on Invisionfree, back when the URLs there started with "s" instead of "z". Character profiles hid spoilers by setting their text to the background color, and navigation was done through a few icons at the bottom.
It was the first major English Ace Attorney fansite, and ten years later it's still kicking.
Court-Records has been through a lot since then. We've seen the series itself wax and wane - the 2010-2013 drought for English games wasn't that long ago! - and the community grow and shrink. The internet itself has been around the block a few times, to boot; these days, our Phoenix/Edgeworth slash communities are all on Tumblr, thank you very much.
I'll be the first to admit we're a bit old-fashioned these days. Hard-coded pages with information manually added by a few admins? Who do we think we are, Serebii or Serenes Forest? The Ace Attorney wiki laughs at us, and also gets into page-long debates over what constitutes a "breakdown" animation.
And yet despite all that, we're still here. We may not be as lively as we once were, and the redesign for the main site is well overdue. But C-R is still around, we're still proud to encourage the fandom with always-slightly-off-schedule contests (check out this year's winners, by the way!) and we still can't agree on if you abbreviate it C-R or CR.
Speaking personally, C-R's been a part of my life for almost as long as its been around. Someone with an avatar comprised of character profiles taken from the site caught my eye on a completely separate forum, I got my hands on the old 3-1 fantranslation, and wound up here. I left and came back a few times, and somehow I wound up helping things run around here. (Or at the very least, trying to.)
I have a lot of good memories here, and I hope you all do too. In the years to come, we've got a lot of work to do - the series is as healthy as ever, and with an anime on the horizon you could even say it's got more cultural cachet than ever before. And with all that, we hope to remain a friendly resource and community for AA fans of all stripes.
A hearty thank you to all our readers and especially our members over the years. Here's to many more!
Hi! I've largely stepped back from C-R due to life stuff. Please contact one of the other staff members for help!

Honestly, still can't believe I'm around, but it's been quite a ride through and through. One thing I am happy about is how much more exposure this series as a whole has gotten since the day I got into, which back then, was only one game back in the states.
On April 3, 2016, Court Records Forums experienced a miracle upon that day.

But hey, ten years is a long time, and a lot has happened since then; two more sequels, three spin-off titles, a crossover with Professor Layton (and cameos/guest spots in other titles), manga serializations, an anime, and countless more. It's amazing to see how far our little series has come since the days of 2006.
And yes, the forum has been there for the ride. From the transfer from the Invisionfree forums to the outages and the spambot infestations. From the game releases, to the fan creations and oh so much more. I'm glad to have been a part of it from the very beginning.
I look forward to seeing what the future holds for both Ace Attorney and CR, and to share that experience with all of you. Happy anniversary, Court-Records!

Happy anniversary, C-R! (I vote with hyphen on this, because the alternative is a colloquial for the washroom here in my country.). Here's to many more years of fan love and all the craziness!

Still C-R is doing great to have lasted so long, here's hoping to many more years of AA and CR!

I don't really post here much, and I was a lurker for a long time before I became a member, but C-R (that's the one) has not only been my one spot source of AA news and discussion, but also a great forum for general discussions. One of the things that I didn't like at first about C-R was how small a community it is, but over time, that's become one of it's biggest strengths (at least for this guy) - I really like recognising all the usernames and avatars, or even just knowing who someone is based on their writing. Here's to a great 2016 (anime and AA6!) and a fantastic 10 more years!

Wait...what? I honestly have no idea where you've gotten that idea from. I can hardly speak for any other AA wiki contributor, but I absolutely love this site! I've used C-R for so much on the wiki since I joined it back in 2009, both in terms of resources from the games and AA news. I mean there's even a page about this site on the wiki (http://aceattorney.wikia.com/wiki/Court_Records)! Perhaps I've completely misconstrued what you mean or I've completely missed something, but I'm honestly a little sad you think of the wiki like that, especially considering how much I respect this site...

That, on the hand, I will not contest!
Anyway, here's to another 10 years of Court Records!

I'm relatively new on the forums, but I can say this place is so fun and everyone is always kind and cheerful.
10 years is really a great result and I'm hoping we'll be here for many more years

But this community has been so welcoming! As shy as I am, I look forward to seeing this place grow as we welcome new games in the series.
Here's to AA6!

I don't say much here on the forums, but I do keep up to date with the news and features. It's always the most impressive source for all news Ace Attorney, and I'm thrilled that it is going 10 years strong.
Congratulations!!!

I may not post on these forums anymore, but you're still my main source of AA news via other channels, and were a defining aspect of my teenage years. Cheers.

It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since Court Records was created. I remember when the old forums were still barely a few weeks old when my best friend, Blademaster_Orca and I joined.
There were less then 50 members at the time. Everyone pretty much knew everyone else. Not bad for a series that was just budding in the US. It was the first time I ever really joined into a series fandom. Never thought I'd get to join in with others in such passionate game discussions over the littlest details and even little spin-off projects like "The Super Makoto" project. Good Times. And to this day, it's still one of my favorites, even after disappearing for years and never really coming back. Even now, I occasionally bump into an old friend from here on other sites and it's always good to see a small piece of the past again.
But my love for the AA series is still there. Almost every time I open my 3DS, I see one of the AA themes and still bring a smile to me face. I still check the main page daily as well.
Thank you Court Records for the friends I've made online and the many fun memories I remember fondly.
And before I finish, I believe this quote has never been more fitting for me then at this moment:
"Ahh... the days of my youth... like the scent of fresh lemon", you see.

I've been on a 5 year hiatus from anything Ace Attorney related but as of recently I've found myself obsessed with it again, perhaps to coincide with the release of the sixth game and the anime this year.
Oh boy, it's like the old times when I joined the forums, except I'm 25 now, not 16. Used to spend a whole a lot of my latter teenage years on these forums and hence, I'm never going to take a look at my post history again. Talk about awkward times.
And yay my smilies are still in use... although at this point I can't remember which all I made

While this place has had its fair share of forum drama, it's been a goldmine for AA info and discussion, so thanks a bunch to everyone who's maintained it over the years.
Long live Ace Attorney, and the fandom with it!

I'm not exactly certain myself, but I'm pretty sure it was the first part of a fan-translation of Trials and Tribulations made before an official one was announced. Sort of like the Gyakuten Kenji 2 translation, except the original game was actually released here.

Nah, I'm just joking around! That was actually a poke at our own lag in updating things like case summaries and PLvsPW stuff the past couple years; y'all are way ahead of us in that department. Probably could've worded that gag a little better!

Yep! A long time ago someone was working on a fan-translation of AA3 and released a mini-patch covering the first case - before PW:AA was even officially released in America, I think! Once AA3 got announced for official release, they took the patch down to support the series.
It's actually a bit interesting, since that meant my first experience with the series was the story of how Mia and Phoenix met. It kind of helped fill out their relationship in the first two games.
