| |
| − | :''See main article: [[Total War Center History]].''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some of the former [[Hexagon Council|Administrators]] or [[Staff]] members of TWC have created accounts of their times at the site:

| − | ==vBulletin==
| |
| − | [http://www.vbulletin.com/ vBulletin] is one of the leading commercial forum software packages, which TWC currently uses. It used to use Invision Power Boards, but that turned out to be insecure, as was evidenced by the [[hacker attacks]] leading to the [[May 2005 crisis]]. During those attacks, [[Ogre's Net]] asked for help and were told to not use IPB, but to switch to vB instead. When that was done, the attacks stopped.

| |
| − | Usually references to TWC crack or, simply crack are used to imply that Total War center has an effect on its dedicated users similar to the effect created by dependency creating drugs.
