Setekh and Thunder (now Kalfireth Fineus) co-founded it back in 2001.  Here is the first thread.

HLP was founded back when we still had the official Volition forums (VBB) and Volition Watch was still around (VWBB). There were several other FS sites around at the time too, like FS2 Sector and Ross 128. (F2S may have evolved into SectorGame, idk, some other vet will correct me surely). So, HLP was created specifically as a modders' site, an artists' site, and you can still sort of see that influence today. Then as other sites closed (particularly the VBB) and the SCP got started here, HLP kind of became the home for FS.

Oh, and HLP also covered I-War and Freelancer stuff for a while, but that fell by the wayside in favor of FS.

I may be wrong but GTD Bastion (the site) was quite old, too.

In fact it still exists, though now as a subdivision of Sectorgame.
