How/Why was IBS started and by whom

[King112 368]

Hey, I have been wondering about this for a while now. I have looked around, and still haven't been able to figure out when IBS was formed. Also, I haven't been able to figure out who formed it and when it was formed. I mean, he or she deserves a huge round of applause for getting this site up right?!

Does anyone have any ideas?

IBSurvival was started by three people: Graeme, Hien (Ruan Chun Xian), and Elsa (~Lc~) way back in 2007 as a way to be a help to IB students all over the world. They started out initially as a small subsection on The Student Room but eventually came and started their own site. Hien hasn't been on for a long time, but Elsa still pops in occasionally. Graeme still maintains and performs webmaster duties, and hosts the site through VIP subscriptions.

 

Now nearly 7 years and 36,000 members later I think they've done something right.
