| === The Community === [[Image:files/home/af.svg|right|Antioch Forever emblem]] A somewhat austere history of the place: *The [[Original Forum]] was created by [[Auspex Turmalis]] to support [[The Antioch Chronicles]] in October 1999, shortly after the release of [[The Antioch Chronicles, Episode II|Episode II]]. *Unrelenting technical difficulties killed the original forum in August 2000; after a few days, the community is quietly revived as a [[CoolBoard]]. *The next destination was [[EZBoard]] in January 2001, where it lived under the [[Auspex Studios]] banner for a few years, seeing the death of [[The Antioch Chronicles, Episode III|Episode III]] and the birth of [[Antioch Reborn]]. Leadership of the community shifted to [[ZeusLegion]]. Members donated to a community chest for a gold membership that kept the annoying ads out, but it eventually ran out. *The ads instigated a move to [[Ashenvale]] in October 2002, a domain owned and operated by [[Avatar]]. The forum switched to [[phpBB2]] and was, for a time, renamed to support [[Subliminal Games]]. *When Subliminal Games died, interest grew in a move to our own domain and the creation of a community web site. The community was reborn as Antioch Forever in April 2003, with the domain and hosting again provided by [[Avatar]]. We later moved to [[phpBB3]].
