The official MyAAC about page says slawkens created the first version at the end of 2007 while running an Open Tibia server. That creator-authored statement is the best available origin source and is more informative than the current repository timestamp alone.

The modern GitHub repository was created on April 20, 2017 and identifies MyAAC as a fork of Gesior2012. Version 0.7.0 was publicly announced on November 20, 2017. The ten-year gap reflects a project that began as a personal AAC and later became a structured public CMS with releases and plugins.

Evidence classification: Creator-documented. The date shown in the reference box is phrased to match what the surviving source actually proves.

MyAAC carries forward familiar Gesior features while separating templates, plugins, administration, and core updates more deliberately. That structure supports server-specific presentation without requiring every owner to modify the same core files.

Recent release lines show the second major trend: security maintenance is now a first-class AAC responsibility. Release notes call out session fixes, redirect handling, installer authorization, BBCode and forum issues, Cloudflare trust, and migration away from older branches.

A MyAAC installation can provide account and character management, news, downloads, server information, rankings, guild and character pages, shop integrations, templates, plugins, and administrative workflows.

Owners use the plugin ecosystem to add server-specific features while keeping a path to core updates. Designers use templates to change presentation without replacing authentication or database code.

The official repository currently documents multiple release tracks with different PHP requirements and stability expectations. Selecting a version is an architecture decision: it affects plugins, templates, database compatibility, upgrade procedures, and security support.

MyAAC is a notable continuity case because its creator traces the first version to 2007 while the maintained public project embraces modern releases and security work. It connects the early account-maker era to today's CMS expectations.

The project's security release notes are also valuable historical records. They show why AAC maintenance cannot stop after a server launches: installer access, sessions, redirects, BBCode, forums, proxies, and dependencies all remain attack surfaces.

Install from the official repository or release page, choose a supported branch, verify PHP and MySQL requirements, confirm server-engine compatibility, and test required plugins and templates before migration.

Follow security release notes closely. Protect the installer and configuration, use least-privilege database credentials, apply updates, remove abandoned plugins, review shop callbacks, and back up both database and uploaded assets before upgrades.

This page separates a confirmed public date from an assumed development date. Its release statement is: Creator dates the first version to late 2007.

The recorded lineage is Created by slawkens; modern code is a fork of Gesior AAC. The source links preserve the repository, release page, official documentation, publisher archive, or contemporary discussion used to support that description.

Project activity, compatibility, and security can change. Readers should use the linked upstream repository or official documentation to confirm current support before adopting the resource.
