History of the forum

I’d like to know some major events/moments on the forum before 2020 (when I came), as well as previously major posters and writers here.

Cool topic. From what I’ve seen, the forum was really active around the release of Anniversary Edition (2008) and Global 1940 (2010). Lots of strategy talk, custom maps, and house rules.

Some key posters back then were Imperious Leader (historical setups), Krieghund (rules expert), and Young Grasshopper (strategy vids, tournaments). The Play-by-Forum league was also big, with players like Cow, Baron Munchhausen, and Elk.

Hi! Do you have any fun stories or moments from the forum before I joined that you’d like to share? Thank you!

Some of the notable pre-2020 moments include the long Play-by-Forum league games that ran for months with detailed turn write-ups and custom battle maps, the heated debates over convoy rules and national objectives when Global 1940 was released (with extensive clarifications from Krieghund), and the fan-made maps and setups in the Customization forum that later influenced popular scenarios still played today.

Thanks!

@SuperbattleshipYamato well it was alot different back when we allowed Politics to flourish. Mary and Jennifer used to get into great battles, then we had Sexual Harassment Panda, Mr. Smith, et al who posted like 30 times a day. I recall about 3 others who were nasty but eventually drifted off under a rock.
