Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 1997
A New York-based free web host that arranged members' home pages into themed districts of a virtual city, each with its own map.
Two British entrepreneurs, Richard Jones and Dan Metcalfe, founded it in 1997 with 6 MB of free space per site. It reached a million users, went public in March 1998 and ended free hosting in 2012.
In 1997: Founded this year, giving each member 6 MB of free space and an address in one of its districts.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
