Hi, Chipeople was created in Feb 2004. I started the forum with the help of my OH who took care of most of the IT side. I started it because at the time the only chiforums I knew were hosted by msn and there was a lot of things you couldn't do on them (they were pretty basic). I think msn eventually shut a lot of them down as they were having trouble moderating the content and quite a few of them closed because the admins didn't want to run them anymore, so i wanted one that i knew would stay put
