Pirate-Community was originally meant to be the fusion of four fan sites ([[RayMind|RaymanBD, RaymanTCG, RaymanEncyclo]], and [http://membres.multimania.fr/fantasnip MetalGearRayman]), but soon became an influent and active internet portal, thanks to its forum, which purpose was to provide a fair and free place for [[Rayman]] fans, in opposition to the arbitrary bans occuring on [[RaymanZone]]. The first three fan sites were later merged into [[RayMind]], while the last one was discontinued. | Pirate-Community was originally meant to be the fusion of four fan sites ([[RayMind|RaymanBD, RaymanTCG, RaymanEncyclo]], and [http://membres.multimania.fr/fantasnip MetalGearRayman]), but soon became an influent and active internet portal, thanks to its forum, which purpose was to provide a fair and free place for [[Rayman]] fans, in opposition to the arbitrary bans occuring on [[RaymanZone]].

However, the two most important Pirate-Community websites are now [[RayTunes]], founded on June 20th 2006 by Drolpiraat, and [[RayWiki]], founded on January 4th 2008 by Hunchman801. Even though Pirate-Community is still mostly visited for its forums, both websites have become references on the internet. On February 25th 2009, a new ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' [[Hall of Fame]] <sup>[http://raymanpc.com/?p=hof]</sup> was created on Pirate-Community, in order to replace the official one, which was long discontinued. [[Rayman Fanpage]], another unofficial ''Rayman'' fansite, is an affiliate of the Pirate-Community. | However, the two most important Pirate-Community websites are now [[RayTunes]], founded on June 20th 2006 by Drolpiraat, and [[RayWiki]], founded on January 4th 2008 by Hunchman801.

The community has also seen partnerships and affiliation with [http://beyondgoodandevil.wikia.com/wiki/The_IRIS_Network_Wiki|The IRIS Network], a Wiki for the [[Beyond Good and Evil franchise]] and [[Haruka]]'s YouTube channel, containing walkthroughs for many games in the Rayman series. The [[RaySaves]] facility, founded by Pirate-Community member RoboticTeensie, was also made an official affiliate, and is hosted by Pirate-Community also. | |||
