I've just skimmed the latest Warvault Community News and saw the mention of the 2nd birthday of the Kovash Tauva Tau forums.
It got me thinking - how old is Hive World Terra? A quick look at the WhoIs information shows that the original IBBoard.co.uk domain that the site was at one point hosted under (as the subdomain hiveworldterra.ibboard.co.uk) was bought in late December 2001.
Re-reading the front page that I wrote ages ago, Hive World Terra itself opened in the following January, with web.archive.org first picking us up four years tomorrow. That means that at some time during this month, Hive World Terra was Four years old!
OK, so the Hive World Terra 'site' was originally a forum for my old Clan-Bertram website (which was even older, with its Games Workshop downloads) with a tiny 'about the forums' mini-site, and it was hosted on free hosting before then, but Hive World Terra has developed from those roots.
Unfortunately there wasn't any big announcement when we started up - it was just something that slowly wandered its way over from the old free F2S hosting - so there's no specific nostalgia, but it's great to know that Hive World Terra as hiveworldterra.ibboard.co.uk and hiveworldterra.co.uk have been going for so long!
I'll try and remember to have a proper announcement for our 'real' original Hive World Terra birthday in March (taken from my forum profile) - we'll be 5 years old!
