ABOUT US

I gained my first website at the age of twelve or thirteen through the homestead free website service. Back than when homestead said free it did not mean free trial...it really meant free. They had tos of neat features including the embedding of games. They had the best website editor at the time. The fact that it was a drag and drop style editor meant that anyone with zero knowledge in html could use it. I was so uninformed about coding, I didn't even know what html was. However, it had the ability to use html if the user desired and I did desire to. So, I began to teach myself coding. I started out by finding neat items on other sites, reading the source, and copy-pasting their code onto my site. After feeling comfortable with that, I began to edit the codes I as finding, and yes, messing many of them up beyond all recognition. However, through my mistakes I began to learn more about html than I ever thought possible. After several years, homestead took away its free service and it's website editor went down the drain. It was time for me to find another website host. I ended up with geocities free website hosting on the yahoo website. After some time there, I learned a great deal of coding and began paying for their hosting at $20 a month. Because of the limited resources, I eventually moved my hosting to phpbber's hosting service and had a pretty interesting forum set up there. At the time, hosting was costing me $45 a month with unlimited disk space and bandwidth. The cost, however, became to great and it usually took between two weeks and a month and a half for them to reply to any of the support tickets. So, I moved on to Siteground where I have received 250 GB and 2500 GB for only $5.99 a month Their support has been more impressive than I could ever imagine. While with them, I installed the All Star Arcade onto my initial website along with the DV Digital Store. I also formed a second website, pbbgc.net from which I have operated my forum hosting site.

Now that you know how I ended up where I have, a little about the forum hosting site. I had at one time hosted my own forum on my own site. However, because of my incrediblyl low knowledge of mysql and my incarnate curiousity to mess with it, I completely destroyed my initial forum. I than chose phpbber's free forum hosting. It had some neat modifications that added some new features to the forum. I was impressed and searched the net for some other interesting modifications. I found phpbbhacks.com. I than paid for phpbber's hosting services so that I could have modifications installed. I soon had one of the best forums around with a features list unrivaled to any other. However, their support and fees caused me to switch over to Siteground from which I was once again stuck doing all the work myself. I met a friend who taught me how to use phpmyadmin, thereby giving me the power of MySql. From that point on, I was installing modifications like there was no tomorrow and the forum was to become my new homeworld. However, I came to the realization that others would desire a truly impressive forum such as mine and were probably being conned into paing out $45 a month or more for a far less modified forum board. So, I decided to introduce my modified forums as free hosting. I went out and bought a forum hosting program from echophp and have been hosting my forum system ever since. The forums hosted here now contain modifications that make my previous modified forum an embarrassment. Just check out the page for comparing the forum hosting sites and you'll see how impressive my forum hosting site really is.

It is my intention to ALWAYS offer forum hosting at absolutely no cost. I do have a small advertising program on the forums, but it is not like phpbber. Phpbber places banners on the index page of the forum causing an absolutely unattractive and annoying forum experience. Mine are created as one auto-post in each thread and is limited to ONLY one post. By doing so, the advertisement is not invading your member's screen and ruining the appearance of your forum. We know that you will appreciate the measures we have taken to protect your members and their opinion of your forum. We do offer the ability to remove ads from your admin panel.
