Re: DD History
Thanks for pointing this out Juke. A lot of people are assuming it was only you who worked on this site and it's not fair to the people who spent their free time helping to shape this place into what it is.Juke wrote:If I'm even considered to be up here that's pretty cool. However Raymond played a huge part in creating this site also, I don't think some of you realize that. Also our friend Bladez (who is currently our techy guy behind the scenes) helped us out immensely.
Juke: Originally started this site by re-coloring and re-shaping the we_clearblue theme that we currently use in phpBB. He also re-colored the CometChat system so that it matched our site's colors. And not to mention all the discussion me and him had towards the development of this place.
Tenks: Created the VIP Panel where people can customize their rank and upload their own rank bars.
Minifrij: Created MyFiles and MyFiles+.
Mitch: Created the Forum Icons and Buttons that you see when viewing the forum or replying to threads/private messages.
Nice Pants: Helped clean up the coding of the site so everything looked in place and aligned. He also created the smilies and default rank bars for the forum.
Donators: Maintaining a website costs a lot of money, money we wouldn't have without the help of those who donated.
Bladez: Found an awesome deal on a hosting plan for us. Setup the server on which our site is being hosted multiple times. Also integrated CometChat into the site and worked on removing all the bugs it had. He also made the Youtube module for CometChat. And generally has just been the guy who does all the behind the scenes work that people are unaware of.
There are probably people I forgot to mention and things I forgot to mention about specific people, but there are so many of you who helped shape this site into what it is now that it's hard for me to remember everyone. This is more so recent history that involves the people who worked on TheDarkDemon.com. Most of the things that happened before this site have a different story with different people that a lot of you already mentioned so I won't bring that up again, but I felt like it should be known that this is a community site. The community not only created the content here, but also helped shaped the site. It wasn't just one person.

Re: DD History
The third link under the Blood Collab Series is messed up. I would fix it for you, but I'm not sure what you were going for with that link. There's a bunch of random letters "oMjblkzG0" you added which would be what shows up for people to click on. Normally you would type out "Blood Collab 3" in that spot, but those random letters are confusing me. So you might want to fix that.
You may also want to divide this thread into different sections for when there were different owners or something. You added all the info I suggested above, but that only pertains towards TheDarkDemon.com, not Animator.net or the original DarkDemon.org. Different people made MyFiles/VIP for those sites. Idk, just figured separating it would probably be a better idea. Thanks for taking the time to do this Tuna, it gives our new users some background on how this place formed.
Also Minifrij, regardless of if you think it's terrible coding you still created it. You deserve the recognition for it. :P

Re: DD History
It's okay, but I'm pretty sure Adam sold the site in 2011. Here's some stuff I had written down from a while back (also includes Adam and Chimaera's original posts when they each resigned)
I also included all of the DarkDemon Podcasts since they were something I used to enjoy listening to ALL the fucking time back in the day.

Re: DD History
I'm absolutely stunned Raymond's name is not up there. The thousands of bots and posts we had to manually delete/approve after DA left us was actually fucked. Plus the whole running shit, organizing events and what not during chaotic times with only moderator powers.Bukkake Mage wrote:peterbone maybe, since he created Pivot and this forum wouldn't exist without it.
Slashed could be added as I believe he was the longest serving staff member on old DD (2004/5 - 2013-4).
Raymond and Lush should probably be mentioned as the people that took over as admin.
Juke for making thedarkdemon.

Re: DD History
Because of me the avatar dimensions changed from 95px² to 100px², I'm pretty sure that qualifies me for the list.
For real though, don't see much of a point in this thread, a lot of people on there seem to not really deserve a 'historic' place, while you leave out people like Stickid, Lithium, Crono, Skype and a shitton of others. The only thing you put on there now, are some people who worked on the site-coding and shit, which says very little about actually creating history. I honestly don't see how making buttons or even re-creating DD MyFiles are much of an historic move.

Which is what the person that made the buttons and recreated MyFiles have said.Daniël wrote:I honestly don't see how making buttons or even re-creating DD MyFiles are much of an historic move.
Still, the thread is being worked on. Give it some time and list some of their contributions and I'm sure that it will get better.
