History
Created in 1998 by Dan Goldstein, the original domain was a fan page dedicated to Creative Assembly's Shogun: Total War game. The site itself spawned a community of like minded fans that congregated on a subsidiary Echelon board which, due to the large influx of members and subsequent instability, were later discarded and replaced more than once for several on-server board services along with hosted sub-sites.
In 2001 the admins were Terazawa (mainpage) and Anssi Hakkinen (Sword Dojo) and Dan Goldstein was webmaster.
