Creation

Work on TCB started in November 2006. It was available only to a few testers at the beginning and a secret to the rest of the community, because at first there was no certainty about whether or not the website was even going to be finished. A months-long break seemed to make the chances dwindle, but then - in February 2007 - it was finally completed. Still, TCB was not opened to the public for another few months, as it was meant to be released together with the long-awaited 3.6.28.0 beta update of Worms Armageddon, due to the website's contents making massive use of the update's features. Eventually then, on 29 June 2007, TCB opened its gates, and it was flooded with more activity than was ever expected. As it is with most new things, activity has faded away again to a big extent, but the website is still being maintained and worked on, to bring new features to the players, as time passes by.
