NIBC History

The Non-Inbred Coalition, which was created for the International Howrse community, was founded by Lanikot in on December 9, 2010. At the time, it was deemed as a necessity as several players were requesting a community where NIBers got together and "actually did something" versus frequent well advertised, but dead communities with no member activity. For a great portion of it's early creation, the NIBC was unknown. Majority of it's early work was devoted to guidelines and securing the NIBC Forum. It's original purpose was to be a public access community with no hidden doors. After the basics were drawn up, a few more players were invited to the forum. Some were lurkers while a sad few were content thieves. Annoyed to find NIBC content on other websites, the decision was then made to remove these non-contributing players and close NIBC doors to the public. This decision isolated the NIBC from their players, but instead of becoming a community forum, the NIBC became a 'workshop' where the members could congregate and make decisions on how to support the NIB community as a team.

SHORT BUT SWEET

In November 11, 2011, after a disappointing display of comaraderie in the NIB Thread (pages 1000-1020), the decision was made for NIBC to break away from 'mainstream NIBing' and blaze a trail away from sour players. The Coalition sought to continue to NIB with a welcoming attitude toward change, challenge and variety, while maintaining the spirit that drew many of them to the project to begin with; which is "to kindly educate anyone interested in a challenging way to play the game (Howrse)". This decision was made so certain veteran NIB players who felt the NIBC was infringing on their 'territory' could have their space again. In contrast, NIBers who wanted to enjoy Platforms without persecution would also have their own place to congregate and enjoy the game without being badgered by negativity.
