It is true that AR "emerged" from Abandonia. At a time, Kosta decided that he didn't want to waste time with freeware games on this site since it was dedicated to DOS games. However, several persons standed up and convinced Kosta it was worth it to open a new site dedicated only to freeware games. From the beginning, both sites walked different path.
The two sites then evolved away from eachother, and if you were to visit Abandonia and AR you'll easily see that it's not the same thing at all. The feeling is different, the community is different and the goals, even if similar in a broad sense, are also different. And up to this date, the number of persons who dabble seriously on both site is down to a very small amount. After a little while, people decided to either stick with Abandonia or to migratre to AR, depending of their own personal taste.
As for Abandonia Reloaded/Reloaded Abandonia, I don't really know what the deal is all about. I am pretty sure we always refered to AR as Abandonia Reloaded since it got out, as the often used initials (AR) would tell. I know that at some point it switched over on the main page, but for what reason... I have no idea.
