In 2002, Vineet Chaudhary (Sultan) created ClanTemplates after becoming aggravated at the constant requests by other clans to make good looking layouts. Knowing full well that gamers and teenagers don't have deep pockets, clantemplates.tk was created in order to serve the Age of Empires 2 community for free. Within one month, requests for templates from other games such as Asherons Call, Age of Conquerors, Counterstrike and others began pounding the CT message boards. Andrei Martchenko (Pac) and Arihant Jain (jainarihant) became admins in 2003 and helped shape the beginnings of CT by managing the staff and fullfilling the demands of these gamers. In the summer of 2004, Joe Hansen (Nakor) joined as Senior Programmer and quickly moved up the ranks to become an admin and managing the security and integrity of the network. Most recently in 2005, Serenity (Melissa Mancuso) amazed the CT community with her dedication to designing and was awarded the admin position to fullfil larger goals of the network.
