== Overview ==
The Helios is a publication of the [[Total War Center]] forums reporting on the various non-TW related activities of the forums, though in the past it has carried advertisements for the [[University]]. The publication is also characterised by being TWC's second oldest publication, first having been brought out December 2005 [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=40459[1]], and by being one of the most broken-up in terms of its publication history, having taken several hiatuses and gone through a long series of editors. It is currently released approximately every fortnight.

==History==
In fact, the editorial history alone is worthy of note due to the great names involved; begun by [[imb39]], [[Kscott]] and [[Grimsta]], it then fell to [[Grimsta]] alone to edit the Helios. After a period a hiatus begun, sparked off by the Helios Political Issue (outlined below) and when it restarted, [[King Henry V]] was editing it. After a happy period as editor, bringing in a variety of innovations in style, he resigned in favour of [[Saint-Germain]]. However, on the retirement of Saint-Germain, the Helios fell into abeyance with no replacement editor until [[Justinian]], during his long period as Republican Consul, restarted it and added innovations of his own, including the contents (a forerunner of that in use in the present Helios), before finally stepping aside in favour of [[Tom Paine]], who edits it to this day.

The Helios style has changed greatly; the original Helioi were written by the editors alone, and got very involved in politics. This ended with the Helios Political Issue, and since then the Helios has not only been less involved in politics but has also hired reporters in order to put in an extra layer of protection, a practice continued to this day.

The current series of Helioi has so far run for 17 issues, approximately fortnightly, usually late; the number of previous editions is, however, rather large and noteworthy in and of itself, and should not be forgotten, locatable as they are in the [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=246 Archives]

== Controversy ==
[[GrimSta]]'s political Helios edition was written in January 2006. It was an article featuring an interview with [[Belisarius]] which included a large attack on [[Simetrical]]. [[Simetrical]] Posted a reply, and things soon escalated as a group of members led by [[Belisarius]] pushed for [[Simetrical]]'s resignation from staff and as [[Curator|Pro-Curator]]. This failed as most [[Citizen]]s voted in support of Simetrical. some now believe the whole incident was started by Belisarius for his own ends.

{{Template:Mod Listing}}
Please see the individual hosted mod index categories for modifications with forums at TWC organised by game.

==Overview==
Hosted mod forums provide opportunities for mod teams to organise and discuss their work. They often include a hidden developers only forum so that research, experimentation and discussion can be carried out in privacy. Hosted forums also provide a useful platform for fans and team members to interact. Feedback from fans (or constructive critics) is useful for any mod. Typically previews will be posted at regular intervals by mods in development and released mods will encourage further feedback from fans and give user support for any bugs or installation problems.

To obtain a hosted forum at the [[Total War Center]] mod teams need to be able to show that they already have a good track record of making progress with their mod.

Anyone wishing to apply for a hosted forum for their mod at TWC should read [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/announcement.php?f=331&a=88 this thread] first and then if applicable PM [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?find=lastposter&t=81040 Halie Satanus] or [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/member.php?u=10080 Publius] with the relevant information as requested in the thread.
