In 2006, the Samurai History Delphi forum was permanently replaced by the new [http://forums.samurai-archives.com Samurai Archives Citadel]<ref>The name "Citadel" was inspired by the castle citadels from the computer game Shogun Total War.</ref>. Over the years there had been numerous complaints about the difficulty and lack of features of the Delphi forum (however, it was also felt that this "difficulty of use" helped keep out the more disruptive elements who didn't want to take the time and trouble to sign up and interface with the Delphi forum), and so after an offer from forum member [[User:Kryo|Kryo]] to implement and host a new, modernized forum, the Citadel went online approximately May 4th, 2006. The new forum added features such as "ranks", post counts, and "avatars" that were not available on the delphi forum.

==History of the Sections of the Samurai Archives==
===Original Sections===
The original sections of the Samurai Archives for the most part included [http://www.samurai-archives.com/warrior.html Famous Samurai]<ref>The "famous Samurai" link on the homepage is now directed to the [[:Category:Samurai|Samurai]] category on this Wiki</ref>, and various timelines of the major periods of Japanese history. Early on, each timeline had its own link to the index page. Only later, during a major consolodation of the index page, would each time period be removed from the home page and added to an inclusive [http://www.samurai-archives.com/chronol.html Timelines] link. The "famous Samurai" section was originally (and always) meant to encompass Samurai from all periods of Japanese history, but as time went on, this section (along with the rest of the page) became more and more "Sengoku-centric" due mostly to the interest and specialization of the creators of the page. In point of fact, there was very little added from any other period of japanese history outside of the 14th and 16th centuries.
