Hoppus... if you hurry with a true classic rules, classic specs, After Endor (referring to setting, not necessarily to "AE" elements like arcs and that circular grid, which I don't have too much of an opinion on), original EU, goes-on-forever universe, minor changes only, you could launch it for the 10th anniversary of the current iteration of the forum, and the 25th anniversary of the AOL forum.
I'm not sure what year it was actually created, just picking one. I think I joined 1995-ish (? IGE days, Bane was Emperor... and continued through 1999-ish (things changed, the name changed to Space Wars Sim Forum somewhere along the way, Bane left and we got a "George"). 25 years ago would be the year before, 1994. I think it was already going strong for a couple years by then, but we can round.
