There are plans in the works to introduce a section of the forum devoted to the history of California, starting some time before the Helium Wars and leading up to 2019/2020 ("present day"). More details will be forthcoming, but the basics are as follows:
1.) Current characters may or may not be involved.
In other words, people participating in the history threads will likely create new characters that might die off or disappear before 2019, unless their existing characters have potential for a significant storyline. If a 2019 character is a 15 year old, for example, they probably weren't doing much of interest back then.
2.) The storylines will be scripted.
Not word-for-word, but major events will be planned as a group and then written through. This means it won't be as much of a free-for-all as the forum proper.
3.) Emphasis will be on quality of writing, and as such, moderation will be more strict. Participants won't get kicked off if they forget to capitalize a sentence, but they shouldn't take offense if someone points it out.
That's all for now - questions and comments are more than welcome, and I'll keep everyone up to date as we get this thing going. If all goes well, it'll be just as much fun as the rest of the forum!
Stay shiny,
Arson
