Lazerbot published the first pages of ''Tails Gets Trolled'' on October 10th, 2011. On August 5th, 2012, Lazerbot's original DeviantArt account was hacked, leading to some confusion as the hacker began to upload his own version of [[Chapter 11: wild tempers|Chapter 11]]. Despite the effort, Lazerbot continued under a new DeviantArt account. The original account was taken back with help from Lazerbot's friend on April 15th, 2019.

Lazerbot was involved with the Something Awful forums in the early years of the comic, and took notice of the thread where the goons were discussing the comic. Although he appreciated the fan tributes they made, he did not take kindly to some of their criticisms and made a [https://www.deviantart.com/ultimatelazerbot/journal/The-truth-about-SA-Somethingawful-FOS-427249015 journal post] highlighting some comments in the thread and his response to them.
 
Problems began to arise in the year of 2015. Lazerbot's laptop, which he had been using to create Tails Gets Trolled, began to have issues. This caused a minor delay in the month of April 2015, but this was resolved quickly. However, ''Tails Gets Trolled'' would soon see another delay on June 13th, 2015 as Lazerbot was moving and as a result, did not have access to the Internet for a while. Due to many additional factors such as sickness, the laptop finally dying, and needing to move houses constantly, ''Tails Gets Trolled'' did not receive any updates until 2017, when [[Chapter 22: The conclusion Part 2|Chapter 22]] was released, two years after the release of the previous chapter. Adding on to the delays, before the start of Chapter 22, the series also took a slight hiatus as Lazerbot created a separate DeviantArt account to focus on Tails Gets Trolled. The previous Tails Gets Trolled pages were removed from his general account during this time and moved there.
 
Most of the updates to the comic were then posted on the new account (then known as iiupsidedownii, now as lltailsgetstrolledll). Lazerbot and Embergram (his co-artist/co-writer/brother) would post updates from time to time regarding ''Tails Gets Trolled'' and other personal projects they were working on. A Patreon account dedicated to reaching a goal of $100 per month that would be used to support a new artist for Tails Gets Trolled was also created, but did not see much success.


Tails Gets Trolled would soon see a reappearance in the form of [[Tails Gets Trolled Polished]]. This series was intended to be more serious in nature, correcting the errors found in earlier chapters and expand on both new and old characters alike. This would prove to be unsuccessful, however, and both Polished and the main series would soon be placed on hiatus (permanently in the case of the former). Some time would pass before anything Tails Gets Trolled related would be released. On March 18th, 2018, however, Lazerbot hosted a [[External lore#The Q&A|Q&A]] where he answered questions related to the lore of Tails Gets Trolled.
Since then the comic would see a steady release in pages, barring some issues such as his equipment and electronics breaking. Lazerbot would soon be joined by his brothers, known online as Embergram and Shimshomo, who would pitch in and help draw some panels and create the script.


Until then, not much would be heard from Lazerbot until he joined the (then) fan-made [https://discord.gg/wSPHYKX Discord] server for ''Tails Gets Trolled'' on September 18th, 2019. There, he would share various [[External lore#Discord Notes|facts]] regarding the lore of ''Tails Gets Trolled'' and interact with the fans. When [[Chapter 23: The conclusion - Part 3]] began, Lazerbot would then oversee the project as a team of volunteers worked to draw out the script he had released in 2017.
