Ollios, it has a long history, in summary:

2000 - 2002: It began with a popular game named "Age of Empires I & II", I created a free forum in proboards.com to discuss about different empires in this game.
2002 - 2004: I suggested a project about All Empires and registered allempires.com.
2004 - 2007: Our free forum in proboards with about 100,000 posts was suddenly deleted and we had to make a new forum in allempires.com.
2007 - 2008: The forum and main site became so big that they didn't work properly in one host, so we decided to separate them, allempires.net was registered (I myself suggested that Northman does it.)
2008 - 2009: Northman added some Google Adsense ads to the website to earn money and pay for the host, of course it seemed earned money was much more than the cost!
2009 till now: Northman change the host and asked me to give allempires.com to him, I refused and then he banned me from the forum (afterwards he disappeared for some years), I restored my latest backup of the forum here and with the help of some good old friends, like Red Clay, the AE forum was restarted.

I don't know when they changed the name of All Empires (in allempires.net) to World Historia, anyway they themselves knew that allempires.com is the original one.

That forum history is interesting. I had thought that AE was a clever name/idea to have come up with (being inlcusive of all different empires/etc). Sorry that i made a mistake in a recent topic reply about administrator, I didn't realise that there were more than 1 administrator(s) and didn't remember about other admins like Cyrus and others past/present, and that it was Cyrus that was the founder. I have just re-read the about AE page in main site and hopefully won't forget this time. (Sorry i was so preoccupied with the forum that i didn't follow the main site & magazine. (I'm abit like that with music and movies, i never know that groups/singers/actors names like others do.) Btw saw simaqian studio mentioned, last time i tried them they seem to have closed down :( though haven't checked recently. (That was where i first met sharrukin before here.) I still can't help thinking that world historia is so similar to my amateur publication 'historia pangaea' which i put out years ago. For some reason i thought that the split had something to do with differnt Iranian or northern angles, but it sounds like just one person trying to take over. There have been divisions in every group since beginning of world (or the fall or Babel) until now (where lack of common interest).
It sad/sucks to have lost all the original forum posts (which is abit like how i lost 15 years notes & resources in a crisis about 5-7 years ago), but good you had a back-up. I like how the old topics have been un-archived.

ps my cursor problem came right next day so i can still post occasionally though depends on my situation & condition. I don't think i am able to write an article for zine or an ebook for site though.
