For those who may have missed this post in the forums...
Let me try to clear up some of the history as best I can:
In the beginning, Hero created Heroscape.net. What was originally established to be a small site where he and a few friends could talk about the upcoming release of a game called Heroscape, as well as possible map builds and various mods, became something even Hero could not foresee. Among these few at the beginning were none other than Craig Van Ness and Rob Daviau, two of the creators of our beloved game. And yes, Grungebob was there, as well.
Word about the game began to spread, and as people Googled, "Heroscape" to try and gain more info about the game, the majority of them turned to and joined up with Heroscape.net (or .NET, as most refer to it).
The amount of members grew rapidly, as did the discussions about the game....
