Creator
The creator and current owner of ModelUN is Tyler Swink. On the forum his screename is simply "Tyler" and hs is currently the only Admin in the game.

Alpha Phase
The Alpha Phase of ModelUN was still on the domain name of the current ModelUN www.swinkgames.com. However many features that are in the game now were missing and it was hosted on SMF rather than IPB. However this was the most successful forum with over 3000 posts and a thriving community. Due to an accidential database error, the Alpha was forced to close.]

Transitional Phase
A short phase between Alpha and Beta in which a new game was thought to be played. While the game was played the owner decided to do a shutdown to install IPB. The game was once again operational the next day although data could not be recovered from either Alpha or Transitional.

Beta Phase
The Beta Phase is the current phase of MoelUN and the only phase to have IPB 3.1.4 on it. The owner has indicated that he does not plan to end this at least till Christmas of 2011 when the domain is up for renewal. He has made the statment that "This is highly unlikly as the domain is only $15 and it does not affect hosting". However, on Christmas 2012 hosting will be up for renewal and this is seen as ModelUN's "judgement day" by the owner. However he said if the game is operational by then that "...I will probably not shut it down if it is still running by that time" -Tyler

Future
The future of ModelUN is uncertain but if a few bugs can be fixed it seems it will have a bright future as one of the internets Geo-Political Simulator games.
