History
After being a frequent forum member and software security exploit hobbyist on January 23, 2006, Pulkit Gupta decided to begin writing code for his own forum software. At the time the software was codenamed "Electron Forum Project" or "EFP" for short. New to developing forum software on his own he became discouraged and overwhelmed and gave up the project after 10 days.

Two months later, a friend of his, nicknamed "Electron" found new interest in the EFP project. He took over the project doing most of the coding of the software with some help from Pulkit. As the coding was nearly complete they decided to rename the software to "Advanced Electron Forum" or as it is more commonly called today "AEF". Shortly after Pulkit took the lead in turning it into and easy to use and feature rich software through extensive use of javascript.

The initial release of AEF was May 1st 2007
As of November 7th 2007, AEF is fully compatitble with MKPortal, a popular content management system.
Since the initial 1.0 release of AEF in 2007, there have only been minor releases of updates.
