History[]
- Beyond the Moons started up in late 1994 as a mirror of Port of Anacostia, which was the first Spelljammer website online.[1]
- In 1995, Beyond the Moons moved to its first permanent server.[1]
- In 1998, Port of Anacostia closed down.[1]
- In 2000, following a proposal by Jim Butler of Wizards of the Coast, the fan community on the Spelljammer Mailing List were invited to vote for a website to become the official Spelljammer website. This vote led to Beyond the Moons unanimously being voted to run the offical Spelljammer website. A new website was called Compendium: The Seekers' Archive was created to host this official material.[1]
- In 2002, after problems running Beyond the Moons and Compendium as separate websites, Static (the webmaster of both websites), made the decision to merge both websites into one. The new combined website would take the old name of Beyond the Moons and would become the official Spelljammer website.[1]
