What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2002
The first free blog-hosting service in the Persian language, launched with an interface written entirely in plain Persian.
Launched on 13 June 2002, it helped drive Iran's blogging boom, which counted 64,000 Persian-language blogs by 2004. In January 2005 Tehran's chief prosecutor ordered internet providers to filter it.
In 2002: Opened on 13 June, co-founded by Sahand Ghanoun, Behrang Fouladi, Ata Khalighi Sigaroudi and Reza Hashemi; a second Persian service, BlogSky, followed in November.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
