History of the Tarew Marr community

=vnboards= The starting online message board community for Tarew Marr. A moderator named Hallmonitor started heavily moderating the forum, so Tarew Marr Wizard Abibabi from Clan of Shadows (Warders of Magic power during the VN days, then Reign of Magic at some point during Abiworld) opened up his own venue to provide a less strict location for the players of Tarew Marr to meet and discuss topics outside of the game. VN appeared to be more concerned with banner income than community buliding.

=Abiworld= The first of the dedicated Tarew Marr websites designed to provide players with a venue to post on various topics of intrest without heavy moderation. Abibabi paid for domain name and hosting, while Frashii helped with the backend. This ultimately led to and coined the now legendary, "Where the internet can cost you your job", as online drama did in fact lead to the site's founder Abibabi being fired from his job. Soon after "Realpoor" was born.

=Realpoor.com= Started in October, 2001. Ran until the domain + site were sold in 2006. Became a gold/plat-trading site.

=Amfek.org= After Realpoor was sold, Dunn started a new forum at amfek.org. This forum was started on April 25, 2006. It ended when Devook insulted Dunn's wife and Dunn shut the whole site down, some time around March 2007.

=Realfek.com= Khrath started Realfek.com and maintained it until he killed himself. He built it with the MySQL DB from Amfek, but Dunn deleted all of his own posts from the db before handing it over to Khrath, so nothing of his was present on the site. The site continued on for a while after he died, but in late 2011 the domain realfek.com expired. Since nobody had access to Khrath's GoDaddy account, there was no way to renew it, and it was snatched up by some domain squatter. Xarpolis paid Hostgator to renew the hosting itself, which worked via IP address for a few more weeks, but Hostgator refused to allow anybody to take the site over, even with Khrath's father faxing them all sorts of info.

=Realfek.org= The domain realfek.org was purchased by motherface on March 15, 2012. As of August, 2013, the admins of the Realfek forum are motherface, Xarpolis and Luturb. To date, this iteration is the only forum connected to this community that has not been destroyed due to excessive butt hurt leading to insanity on the part of the administrator. Of course there is still time!
