Challenge: no AH.com

Kill the internet, otherwise some website called alternatehistory.com will exist eventually

That said killing this version merely requires Ian getting into a car accident before he creates the old board
 
Kill the internet, otherwise some website called alternatehistory.com will exist eventually

ICANN never adopts a .com TLD, instead using .inc for companies and .npo for non-profits (though .inc, .npo, and .net get opened for general use as in OTL). Eventually, alternatehistory.com does get snapped up... but there's no website called alternatehistory.com as a result.
 
ASB's decide to kill AH.com for some reason. Besides that nothing can stop us from happening, we're like WWII or Teddy Roosevelt becoming in charge of some kind of USA!
 
IOTL AH.com members would come together despite the odds and take over the world.

I mean, seriously, the site is practically the only thing keeping us from doing it.

Okay forgot about that, my bad
 
Ian and S. M. Stirling duel to the death atop a giant dirigible (as the thing goes forth, moved by steam-driven propellers)

As the dirigible plummets, it lands on top of Al Gore, and the internet is not invented.
 
Alternatehistory.com gets bought up by othertimelines.net and redirected there. Done.

Alternatively, Ian decides to redirect alternatehistory.com to alternatehistory.com .
 
Even if you don't have AH.com, as far as the Internet still exists, someone would open up a similar site. Alternate history, as a genre of fiction, exists far before the invention of modern Internet.

Either this or Able Archer (per wargamer6) is IMHO about the latest POD how this can happen. Without that, AlternateHistory.com is too obvious of a name for an AH website :D
