29th of August- The first real mega huge innuendo-filled Kit/Fellatio thread begins, started by Romulus Augustulus ironicaly enough. Up until then the two had been flirting, but never on such a huge scale as this.

20th of November- End of the first series of the AH.com Series on a cliffhanger, in which we learn much of the previously hidden backstory of the AH.commers.

3rd of March - Legendary member, expert on royalty, absinthe connoiseur, old board veteran, and prolific writer Grey Wolf returns to the forum after a long absence. There are celebrations throughout the realm of AH.com, and people are eagerly on the lookout for furry unicorns again.

24th of May - joatsimeon@aol.com is banned. When Diamond supports him, he is banned too.

6th of June - Thande makes the mistake of drinking too much whiskey while wearing his superhero PJs. The result, also involving MrP, elle-jay, various other Britishers, and an odd new religion called Threesomendo, shakes the board to its very core and strikes the gaysexuals senseless. Well, maybe not the last part (what would shock them?), but you get the point.

7th of August - Michael E Johnson otherwise known as MEJ in the guise of Geminonone reveals that he has never actually left the board and has in fact been lurking for the last two years. A flurry of threads on topics related to racism experience a massive mushroom in activity, as he reveals that everyone on the forum with the exception of himself could be racist. Things are expected to liven up again in the Chat forum, and Star Trek threads are expected to have many more contributions as the good fellow has a penchant for the show.

23rd of September - The Universal Colour Scheme is finally finished, after much debate.

November to December - The Noob Movement begins just around the time of the Great Troll Invasion.

11th of November - The Great Troll Invasion begins.

21st of November - The Dark Age of AH.COM begins when Archangel Michael decides to leave. This was not the first departure by an elite board member, but his leaving comes at a time of darkness brought on by trolls.

22nd of November - The Dark Age of AH.COM ends when Archangel Michael decides to return (despite never having stopped posting in the first place). His re-appearance also coincides with the final defeat of the evil Trollish forces.

2008

9th of January - Famed member Glen, leader of Shared Worlds, and strongest(as opposed to strangest) member alive (in terms of post count) returns to AH.Com, after a nearly six-month long absence. His brief return was marked by joyous celebration, as many had thought him dead. And no he’s not a zombie.

20th of January - After many delays, Series 3 of the AH.com Series ends almost a year to the day after it began.

31st of January - First Heterosexual Reconquista Day (see AH.com Calendar)

5th of April - The Ah.com Newspaper publishes its first issue.

13th of April - Start of Series 4 of the AH.com Series

3rd of May - Byzantine expert Midgard returns to the Board after almost 9 months’ absence. Much rejoicing is heard from resident fans, and Byzantine themed threads experience a new renaissance.

15th of May - The Great Schism begins with the accession of Pope Awesome I (aka Flocculencio). Within days, a horde of new board religions floods Non-Political Chat, including Berralutheranism.

14th of July - A thread is posted regarding Communion wafer desecration. This sparks one of the board’s most infamous religious flamewars. Within a week, MrP and Archangel Michael have been kicked; many criticize this decision of IAN.

20th of July - DominusNovus declares his intention to leave the board, largely because of the above events. He stays on for a while longer. First instance of Rickrolling. The attack was minor, and mostly unnoticed by most of the board, yet it ushered in a new, dark era.

22nd of July - Calbear, zoomar and Ward all end up being kicked in a discussion about flag burning. This leaves Acting President Sargon to comment that it will be remembered as the Week of Kickings following the others that occurred earlier in the week from the Communion Wafer thread, as well as The Bald Imposter in the John McCain manhood thread and Mr Evangelical in a thread about liberals and conservatives.

The first Shared Worlds Tournament begins.

10th of September - CERN brings the LHC online. To the great disappointment of all, the world fails to end.

2012

21st of December - The scheduled end of the world and (presumably) alternatehistory.com too. While the likely cause is unkown you are more than welcome to blame Thande for it.
