How did Amistad del Otro come about?

[Forjo]

We started small. In fact, for quite awhile it was just me and my wife and our alts.

Once we convinced our old Guild Wars friends (all friends in real life) to join, we grew a little more.

Mostly, we just used LotRO as a way to catch up, play together, and generally spend time together. This was especially useful as several of our friends live in other cities and one very close friend moved away.

On occasion, we pugged with someone who was nice and without a kin to whom we'd extend an invitation that was accepted. This trickle-recruiting added only a few to our ranks, but that was ok.

Then I met Avrileen.

She convinced me that I should broaden our horizons (and our membership). So to that end, I downloaded and installed PHP, MySQL, MyBB; and learned how to install and operate them.

This forum is the result of that effort.

In the mean time, Avrileen, myself, and several of our officers have been extending invitations and slowly, we are growing.

I want to know about the origin of the name. I interpreted the Spanish as "friendship towards others" but someone in the kin said it roughly means "the other fellowship." How's your Spanish, Forjo? and what led you to decide on this kinship name?
