Ahoy hoy! I've been working hard on getting a new video essay put together for my Youtube Channel based around the history of the SCP wiki, but I'm running into a road block. Jet fighter games free download for windows 7.
All of you are familiar with SCP-173, and most of you are probably familiar with the standard line that the origin of the concept predates the Weeping Angels from Dr. Who.
For the uninitiated and initiated alike: The Dr. Who episode 'Blink' premiered on June 9th 2007 and contains statues called weeping angels which move only when unobserved. There are other superficial commonalities with SCP-173, and there's enough similarity between the two that this has come up before.
As for dates: One imagines there was a promo for 'Blink' after the June 2nd Dr. Who episode ('Family of Blood') that would've given away enough of the concept to inspire SCP-173. From that we can set a hard date of June 2nd as the latest any incarnation of SCP-173 could've been inspired rather than created from whole cloth. I'll note that it's also entirely possible that 173 was written after 'Blink' premiered but the concept was still thought up originally, though it seems very unlikely given the nearness of the dates involved.
Here's the thing. I can't find any extant records of SCP-173 prior to late June of 2007. Actually, to be fair the latest I can find right now is mid July of 2007, but when I did an episode on SCP-173 earlier this year (found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14C0lA_JryA ) someone linked me a version from late June.
So what my point? Well, I'm looking for proof. There are numerous folk around who can and have said SCP-173 was on 4chan a few weeks or a month or whatever before 'Blink' came out. But they're always fuzzy on the exact dates, and when we're talking about a matter of weeks on a post no one knew at the time would be as big a deal as it became, I can't trust a fuzzy memory as absolute proof of a thing.
I've exhausted my investigative abilities here (and I don't know if that's because the evidence I'm looking for doesn't exist or that I've failed to find it), the earliest date I have found for 173's original content is late June, 1-2 weeks after 'Blink' premiered (and such a date is too coincidental for a reasonable belief that it was not inspired by the episode). Absent a definitive image, wayback link, or extant post I cannot in good conscience say that this is a case of simultaneous invention in the video essay I'm working on.
So, this is where you come in. Skyrim se hidden wip mods. I'm hoping to enlist the help of the community to put this question to rest once and forever. Bullet force free money. The ask is simple: Find a verifiable piece of evidence (not eyewitness testimony) that SCP-173 predates 'Blink'. I'm looking for something prior to June 2nd, 2007.. but I'll take the earliest date you can find (because even if you can't find proof that it predates 'Blink' having hard evidence on the earliest date is still going to be useful to me).
Beyond helping me out with this, I hope we can finally put this question to a definitive rest. Next time someone asks which came first, having a link to toss their way will be much more effective than just saying 'Nah, SCP-173 came first but just barely'.
Edit: And let me be clear, 173 being inspired by Dr. Who is fine. It's a different enough depiction that it's not a huge deal, I just wanna nail down the facts and timeline here.
Edit 2: And someone finally got me a link to the thing I had but lost: http://z6.invisionfree.com/DeadlandsFreeRunners/ar/t68.htm (scroll down a bit to find it). The exact date there is June 22nd, 2007. If you can find something earlier than that, I would very much like to have the link.

Weeping Angels Vs Scp 173 11
SCP 173unknown
Commonly known as the first SCP, SCP-173 is a Euclid class living statue made of concrete, rebar, and traces of Krylon brand spray paint. No, the object does not copy the Weeping Angels as 173 came out 1 year prior.
D-Class: Gotta blink *blinks*
D-Class2: Gotta Blink *waits for confirmation*
D-Class3: Go ahead *D-Class2 blinks*
*D-class1 blinks without confirmation*
*SNAP* D-class2: Oh god we're gonna die! *D-class2 shuts eyes*
*SNAP*
D-Class3: EXPLETIVE REDACTED
*SNAP*
Upon later investigation it was found that SCP 173 kiled each D-class when they were not looking or blinked, further research pending.

A living statue like the Weeping Angels. Belongs in the fiction SCP Universe and kills it’s victim by breaking its neck. It cannot move if it is in line of site.

SCP-173 is an alien that is contained in a facility called The SCP Foundation like most other SCPs, it is in there because it is abnormal and out of the ordinary. It is a figure like a weeping angel however in a different form, it looks like a gingerbread figure.
It builds up a mold like subjects which can potentially form an exact copy of itself if the mold builds up.
If there is a containment breech two people usually an officer and a scientist will enter the area and never loose sight, if one wants to blink the other one had to watch. This SCP will snap or choke the human until death.
