There were probably other fansites before Halomaps, ya know. Other mappers may have released small test maps before Blood Islands.
Blood Islands is a great map though. :)

Technically the first custom map was Tutorial (the tag files are included in the HEK), but yeah Blood Islands was the first uploaded to Halomaps.

There were other fan sites but most of them they closed down within a month or two of opening because they didn't realize how much bandwidth would be required and many received surcharges of $500 to $1000 on their $20/month hosting plans. That is why I opened this website. Being a Web host I had the resources to throw at the endeavor and make it easier for people to find the maps.
I am not really sure what map was the actual first one made out side of the tutorial map, but you can see in what order I added maps to the archive by clicking on "all files" then sorting the list by date. Any one of the maps on the first two or three pages could have been the first, but I don't know which one.

I noticed the fid=175 (which is blood islands)? Why does it start at 175, and why is there nothing below it when type it manually?
