RLLMUK is a video game internet discussion forum. It was founded in 2003 by Rob Parnell, in response to the closure of the Edge discussion forums. The initial folder structure, moderator list, and rules were heavily influenced by those on the Edge forums.
The site is considered to be "one of the largest and most varied video games forums"[1] and has a UK and European focus to its postings.
Incorporation
In mid-2009, Rob Parnell stated that he wished to step down from running the server, and sought bids from others to take on the forum. After considering a number of bids, a consortium led by Graham Stock was chosen. This consortium aimed to run the forum as a community-owned website, and set out to raise funds for this to happen[2].
By March 2010, the community had been registered as an Industrial and Provident Society and had raised sufficient funds to ensure its future for at least two years[3].
Structure
The forum runs on Invision Power Board software. While the main focus of the forum has always been around videogaming, it also includes a number of folders for non-gaming activities, including Film and TV, creative arts, and fitness.
