I've
never been asked or had the question proposed to me "how
did this website start" And really I'm sure not many
people out there care anyways. But to certain staff members
namely one. Being Shade who technically is the oldest staff
member despite the fact a baby with all it's limbs missing
could make a better Rm2k game. It's important so here you
go.
I started up the site a little over a year ago on a lame
Geocities server. Everyone called it Geoshitties and really
the only reason I used it was because I couldn't get homestead
to host my rtp littered rm2k game which at the time was
the most advanced and wonderful thing to me in the world.
Probably because I'd never played any other games. And so
I started up geocities and after puzzling for awhile about
what an FTP was I began working. The site grew slowly and
I really only used it to tell people in my uo guild strangely
enough titled Brotherhood Of Britannia (so to answer some
questions I'M NOT BRITISH).
I found two people that could work on the site with me.
Fargo and Zane both talented in nothing really but they
knew stuff and so I let them join. Yeah I know that last
line contradicts itself but I'm a contradicting guy. And
so I constructed the green Brotherhood Logo you see at the
top of the webpage and that's just about the only thing
I didn't kill off when we got the new site.
Finally one day one of our members named Ron said it on
the forums and it was obviously true. "The guild is
dead." And so I cancelled my UO account and gave it
to a friend. The site died as fast as I expected as we had
barely hit 2000 hits in the 3/4 of a year we'd been alive.
It was quaint had 4 resources and a game and is still up
if I'm correct. All our affiliates but one was dead and
it was really just a mess.
And so the site sat there and I got bored. Come March I
figured what the hell and I bought myself a domain and a
meek 30mb of space not sure what I planned to do. Maybe
create the rm2k site I'd always dreamed of but never had.
And so I went to work Shade joined up quickly and then for
a little while nothing happened. I made a layout that looked
a lot like our old site except with frames which I'd always
wanted. And so we opened up and.....nobody cared. Big Surprise.
And so we sat around for a long time getting help from Rainsoft
and it's webmaster. One day the webmaster proposed to me
that I try to affiliate with GGZ. So we both signed up and
surprisingly I made it.
This place is in no way an expert veteran site and it's
actually still growing so if you're impressed you haven't
seen nothing yet. Anf if you're not impressed screw you
I probably don't like you anyways :). And thats about it.
We're slowly increasing and one by one I got my staff which
are some of the most talented people I know. And now you've
heard my boring and worthless story so enjoy!
