HeavenGames

HeavenGames LLC is an ominous network of gaming fansites. Founded in 1996 by Archangel as HeavenWeb, it was always especially close to Ensemble Studios. Its main sources of revenue include online advertising, drug trade, and extortion.
==History==
The first HeavenWeb site was Civ II Heaven from 1996. In early 1997 HeavenWeb sites were made for Dark Reign and Imperium Galactica. Around ten basic sites with just a few pages were started in May 1997. These included sites for Star Craft, Settlers II, and Age of Empires. The Age of Empires Heaven got noticed by Ensemble Studios staff who helped out with content. The other sites were closed or handed over.
AoEH is the first HG site still around, opened in 1997. Since then HG opened sites for dozens of games, the most FPH-relevant being AoKH (1998), AoMH (2001), and AoE3H (2005). The founder, Archangel, was grabbed by ES as their community manager dude sometime in late 1990s.
AoKH's outside discussions forum, known as KoRT, evolved into an all-HG outside discussions at some point. It was closed in 2003 to make way for a new and exactly the same forum; p_r2 heroically grabbed its last post.
==Structure==
Most important staff dudes are called Seraphs, less important dudes are called Angels, least important dudes are called Cherubs and they count posts. Many FPHers were HG staff of all ranks at some point, but I'm too lazy to look up who and when.
Ominous people in charge of HG include Zen, Jayhawk and Soccy.
