Hello everyone,
As I'm sure is evident, this forum has been exceptionally inactive for an extremely long time, and despite my promises to make a formal decision about what to do with it some time ago I have neglected to do so until now. This delay was purely the result of my own procrastination, for which I must apologise.
Initially my thought was to delete the entire forum, but me and my fellow staff are loathe to permanently delete anything and want the forum to remain accessible in case anyone had stored anything on it or wants to copy down anything they'd posted on it in the past. As such the forum has been "archived", meaning all member registration has been closed, all boards are closed to posting, and all boards are viewable by anyone (save for the Creative Writing board where issues about whether something posted publicly on the internet is legally "published" or not mean it requires logging in to view).
Thank you all for contributing to this forum in the past - I'm sorry I couldn't make it more of a success. If you're looking for alternative AH and related communities, here's a few good ones I'm aware of:
Alternate-Timelines - A very similar but much more active proboards forum started by lordroel
Sufficient Velocity - A large forum with a small but active AH section
Maps, Flags, and Alternate History (MFAH) - A discord server that's appropriately named
There are other AH discord servers, but some are more niche or are by invitation only. The most significant one is Alternate History Chat (AHC), populated and run by many prominent AH.com exiles. If you're interested in joining the latter, ask on MFAH for details.
I hope life finds you all well, and you find a good home on the internet for enjoying alternate history!
