 ===== The 2008 AH.com Constitutional Convention =====
-The 2009 AH.com Constitutional Convention was held from September 30, 2008 to November 19, 2008.
+The 2008 AH.com Constitutional Convention was held from September 30, 2008 to November 19, 2008.
 The idea to draft a constitution came about in the [[Crisis of 2008]].  Currently, AH.com lacks such a document, which is partly intentional due to the bad example [[Alternia]] set with their joke of a constitution and political system - the difference being that Alternia truly used it as method to run the site, whereas His Administratorness' Government holds no real power over the forums.  When [[Acting President]] [[Midgard]] intervened to end the crisis, he made plans for such a convention to be part of his intervention. The idea received broad support by the [[AH.com politics]] public, who had been shocked by the events of the crisis. The new constitution was planned to codify many of the traditions and procedures used by His Administratorness' Government, thereby preventing anything like the Crisis of 2008 from happening again.

 "I know this has taken you a lot of work, and I do appreciate that you have gone to a lot of effort but we have agreed to not do anything Constitution related because of the threat of us being closed down. This is probably going to doom us to Shared Worlds after all the hard work I have done to try and persuade Ian otherwise."
