AFB Is Back!

AFB What?

All Forum Battle, that's what

For the scant few of us who hail from Be Creative will remember this tricky battle of creativity well, and for those of you who are second generation from Hortorian will likely remember the version of the AFB we use now. But, for those of you who are new to our community all me to explain. This forum, relatively speaking, has a long history. Originally Be Creative was created by Fiachra (DarkRaven) and ran a good little stint until it unfortunately died, however rallying his spirits and a new troop Fiachra opened another forum, one most of you are familiar with, Hortorian. Now Hortorian lasted for over a year, it built a strong establishment for its particular niche, but unfortunately was laid to rest last summer.

However, what both of these forums had in common was the AFB. What this was comprised of, originally, two major teams: Homer's Legion (led by Angelic Night) and the Opposition (led by Matty Lee). Through their efforts the AFB was formed, yet it died with Be Creative. With Hortorian's creation many members continued to inquire of the staff if they would be bringing the AFB back, and through the efforts, and contributions, of Jsquared, Kari and myself it was retooled and reintroduced.


Now, of course, there are surely those of you that are new to our community and never had the pleasure of participating on the former sites, Be Creative or Hortorian. AFB stands for All Forum Battle and initially was a forum wide contest between the two teams - Homer’s Legion and the Opposition. However, this division of rank was restrictive because it prevented members from challenging their own teammates, and ultimately prevented them from truly testing their creative ability.

The goal of the AFB is to provide a productive and encouraging environment of what some call an ultimate Creative Contest - participants are able to join up in the AFB and choose their own battle rank which decides what contests they can participate in. You have the following Ranks to choose from:

Artillery (The artists)
Infantry (The writers)
Magicians (The poets and lyrical sorts)
Commanders (Those who dabble in the arts, writing, and poetry/lyrical works)


Members choose their rank and then issue challenges to participating members, its quite fun. The AFB will be coming out shortly, and because many maybe unfamiliar with the AFB registration and the rules will be opened before the official launch of the contest to allow for members to browse though the rules and guidelines and ask questions beforehand.

The AFB will officially launch June 25th to July 25th, registration shall open June 22. Questions? Feel free to ask, comment or the like!


Soon the creative battles shall begin, and the stakes will be raised.
