=History=

=Trivia=


 * The Wayback Machine has archived 113 URLs from the US forums, which can be found here. Many of these URLs are duplicates, broken links, and icons.
 * The European (WWW) server also originally had forums located at www.kogama.com/forum/index.php. Only 37 URLs from this forum were archived by the Wayback Machine; they can be found here.


 * The US and EU forums used Simple Machines Forum software.
 * When the US forums were originally started, KoGaMa had an official community manager known as WildestDrake.
 * The robots.txt files on the KoGaMa main server, Friends server, and BR server each disallow webcrawlers from viewing pages under the /forum/ directory. This is likely a forgotten relic of the original forums, whose main pages were located at /forum/index.php.  Given that the BR server never had forums hosted in this fashion, it's likely that its robots.txt file was copied from the other servers.
