How BenLotus Started
The website currently known as BenLotus began its journey on May 16, 2017, though its roots stretch further back. Initially, it was BR-forums.com, a hub for Battle Realms enthusiasts and LifetimeStream members. The rebranding to BenLotus marked a fresh start, as data from the previous site were irretrievable.
The story begins in 2013 when Ben, the founder, launched a site focusing on Battle Realms. Concurrently, he managed a group called LifetimeStreamer, enticing them with an offer of unlimited monthly premium access for just $20.00. Integrating LifetimeStream activities within the Battle Realms Forums was strategic, and Ben's dedication to this service continues.
An interesting aspect is that the LifetimeStream community often confused Ben and me due to our interchangeable email signatures, "Ben" and "Dan."
A pivotal change occurred on August 9, 2018. During my visit to the Symbianize forums, I noticed its members struggled to obtain free premium memberships. Recognizing our ability to provide these services seamlessly, Ben and I decided to extend our help. This led to the public opening of BenLotus registrations, initially promoted on Symbianize forums. The site's popularity surged, especially as Symbianize, then 13 years old, was rumored to be closing. As a result, about 700 new registrations occurred on BenLotus in just ten days.
Thank you for your interest in our story.
Sincerely, Dan David.
