History

Polar Attraction was founded in August 2001 as a message board located on ezboard. The board administration, which was initially limited to Polarist, Peachykin and DarkVixen, later included Irish2002 who spearheaded a new Polar Attraction website. By September 2003, the founder Polarist switched the site to the domain PolarAttraction.com with a phpbb. Irish2002 had already recruited help from other fans, solidifying a group that would later be known as the "Polar Mafia" and became the administration behind the new website.

On August 12, 2004, the team joined LiveJournal in order to keep members updated with information on the website.

By April 2005, the forum started to use the new rating system: E (EVERYONE), YT (YOUNG TEEN), T (TEEN), M (MATURE), MA (MATURE ADULT).

August 25, 2007 the archive was upgraded with the efiction software.

Due to server difficulties, the board and archive was moved to PolarAttraction.net on January 11, 2009, which would be the site's home until its closure in November 2013.
