- jccalhoun 9y agoAccording to their About page https://www.arcanoae.com/about/ https://www.arcanoae.com/about/ : Arca Noae was founded in July, 2014 when several of the developers who previously worked on the eComStation project felt that the future for the platform looked bleak, a feeling which came about due to lack of progress (or any work being done at all), therefore demonstrating a distinct lack of commitment on the part of the project’s new owner.
