2003 Mambo Mascot: The Koala?

January 09, 2007 | by Cory

Koala

I started using Mambo toward the end of 2003. Today, just out of curiosity, I thought I would use the Wayback Machine to check out some archived versions of the Mambo website from the early days. I clicked on the the link to the archive from January 24, 2003, and I found something very interesting. Apparently, the community voted to make the koala the Mambo mascot. Scroll down to the article titled "And the winner is ..." on the archived site to see for yourself. By the time I joined the community later that year, the koala was already a distant memory. Go figure.
