Hey, whats up? Let me tell you some more stories about myself, and how I got a UBB and how I became obsessed with it.
Summer of 2000: In the summer of 2000, I had been going to gameshark.com regularly, and noticed their great message board. I always wondered how they made such a great thing, but never figured out what it was, or how they made it(I was oblivious to UBB at that time). Once day I was reading around on the Savior forum and noticed a post about some kind of ezboard thing, so I thought to myself hey, why don't I go check that out. So I did. I read that post and I saw a link in someones signature, so I clicked it. Yes, there was a good looking site. An EZboard(lol). I loved the idea of me having my own ezboard, and since it looked so much like UBB at the time I thought that is what gameshark.com had. So I signed up and got my very own EZboard. My EZboard did pretty well that summer, but it was not good enough for me. I had about 70 or so members, who posted pretty frequently. But that is a different story. I was getting kind of bored of my good old ezboard by this time, since I had already mastered all the things it had to offer. So, I went started going back to gameshark.com. Then one day I saw a post by someguyzero I think it was, and it was about "Post your site links", so of course I went there and read the post. Then in Someguys post I noticed he had a link to some site called H-Realms, me wondering what "H-Realms" was clicked the link and leaded me to a glorious site. A site that I had never seen before. I started going there pretty regularly, and soon I learned that H-Realms was running a "UBB" on their site. I still did not know what that was, or what it did, but I wanted it so bad. I went to H-Realms the rest of that summer, and I still go there as of now.
My Learning of UBB: After going to H-Realms for a while and seeing a post about where Ghard(MasterMind) got his UBB I decided that I would go and purchase one. So I went and I purchased a UBB. It was a little confusing at first, but I got used to it. I was hoping around on hypermart.net for a while after getting my site closed down several times, for no reason I was fed up! I decided to ask for a domain name and server space for my birthday.
So I did and my parents where a little tense about me having a true web site at first, but they gave in. I then made a purchase on the domain name gamerzparadize.com. How I got that name, no one knows, not even me.
It was not long after I purchased my site and UBB when I started to visit ubbhackers.com and getting "hacks". I became obsessed with putting hacks on my board. It was so fun! This may sound stupid, but I spent countless hours putting hacks into my UBB.
Then after going to H-Realms for a long time I finally got MasterMinds screen name and began talking to him, and bonding with him. Since then, I have always looked to MasterMind for advice, or help with my UBB.
The Launching of My Site: After A couple of weeks of my purchase of my domain name and server space, I launched my site. It was doing great, it had a really crappy layout at first. I mean really crappy. But I pursued for my site to have greatness. After a couple of months my site was booming, or at least I thought it was. It had atleast 200 members in 2 months. After me and members getting fed up with that crappy layout, I decided to make a new one. Well that new one did not last long either, but now I have one that will last for an eternity.
Closing: Well that is pretty much how I found out about UBB. Oh ya I forgot to tell you how I found UBBDEV. Well, around September of 2000 I heard of a site called UBBdev from a friend of mine. I decided to give it a visit, and I was blown away! I was thrilled to find an active community of people who shared the same interests as I did, so I decided to stay. Then I did not post much, if at all. But now I do and now I am here to
stay. Well that is pretty much it.
If you have any questions about me please ask. I will be happy to answer them. hehe I can not believe I just typed all that.
