==The Original Plan==

The website itself was not planned out per se - the unconscious intent was to just keep putting up information until there was just so much there, it would meld into a cohesive whole.  That never really happened, and it eventually became more of a "Sengoku History" page, rather than an all encompassing Japanese history page. The assumption was that as the page grew, interest would grow as well, and we would find contributors eager to help build the page - in essence, the original thought was the same concept of a Wiki, however, at that time the software didn't exist, or if it did, we were not aware of it.  Unfortunately, this concept never really came to fruition until the "[http://www.samurai-archives.com/guestart.html Guest Articles]" section was christened with the first article, ''[http://www.samurai-archives.com/KabArt.html Kawari Kabuto and the Great Warlords of the "Sengoku"]'' by Augie Rodriguez in October, 2000. The section name was later changed to "Featured Articles" in mid 2002, and at this time articles by F.W.Seal were moved there from the "Culture" and "General History" sections, to give it a more integrated feel to the rest of the website.  Even then, it wasn't until the addition of the Samurai Wiki in August of 2006 that the true potential and intent of this website could be reached.
