| - The Cult of Rapture was established in early 2007 and served as a hub of information for the BioShock fan community. Acting as a sort-of mouth piece for the developers at 2K Games, the Cult of Rapture delivers game news and information directly to fans in numerous articles and podcasts. The Cult of Rapture also includes a link to the 2K forums where the community can meet and discuss the game. Over time the forum grew from three standard boards (Off Topic, General Game Discussion and Questions for the Team) to include two more (In-Game and Technical Issues). The Cult of Rapture website is maintained by Elizabeth Tobey, the Community Manager for 2K Games. After the launch of BioShock, and the lack of new information on the game that could come out, the Cult of Rapture site experienced a decrease in activity for a while. However, with the approach of BioShock 2's release date, the Cult once again became active. In early December the site changed locations and experienced a large creative overhaul, changing the main logo and increasing the amount of content available to visitors. The Cult of Rapture published frequent updates with new information on the upcoming BioShock games. These updates often take the form of brief articles written by Elizabeth Tobey or podcast interviews with members of the development team for the BioShock games. The Cult also hosts numerous downloads for BioShock and BioShock 2, including screenshots, wallpapers, videos, and icons. The Cult of Rapture has not had any activity since 2011, as BioShock & BioShock 2 came to an end, and BioShock Infinite was on its way. The Cult Of Rapture's last update was on the 17th May 2011, about Minerva's Den being released to PC.
