-====== AH.COM ETERNALS ======
-AH.com Eternals is an ASB Thread/Shared Worlds TL.  It was started by [[offtopic:Glen]] in 2008, with the basic premise that all AH.commers were actually immortal. [[http://aheternals.wetpaint.com/|This]] website also catalogues the lives of the immortals.
-===== BASIC PREMISE =====
-Any AH.commer was to take their current age and add the amount of posts they had.  This subtracted from the current year would make that the year they were born.  This could either mean anywhere from at the end of the Ice Age (in the case of [[offtopic:Thande]] and Glen), Ancient Greece ([[offtopic:catboy637]], Victorian ([[offtopic:Cambyses the Mad]]), and 16th century Arabia ([[offtopic:Hashasheen]]).  The Eternals could only be killed by decapitation, and did not age after their first death.  They then recalled their lives, as a secret history of OTL.  Some eternals are ancestors of others - Glen is so old that he is an ancestor of every human and eternal born after about 1000 CE.
