 ====== The Old Board ======
-The first incarnation of the [[AH.com Structure|AH.com Discussion Board]], [[http://www.alternatehistory.net/cgi-bin/discus/discus.cgi?pg=topics|now existing as archive-only]]. It differed from the [[offtopic: New Board]] in several details: For example, the default setting was that threads started with the most recent post (on top) to the initial post (on the bottom). Also, while the Old Board had user-names, it in fact displayed the real name, a fact that trapped most members. It was originally possible to post on the board without registration, however on the 27th of August 2002, the Almighty [[Ian]] decreed that from now on registration would be required.  This led to some people having different user-names than before, and these are also noted in the list where available. Of course, many veterans now still active hail from the Old Board:

-Those who joined since the Old Board ended (Jan 2004) treat it as a mythical place, and [[offtopic:Thande]] has put forward a theory that it is in fact the Mirror Universe, based on the fact that [[Chris]] at the time said he 'was no good at writing long stories' and [[Landshark]] was pleasant and helpful.
