History
Of TheInsaneDomain.com
:
TIDbits : FAQs : About Us :
1996
- TheInsaneDomain.com began in mid-1996 as a few HTML pages that
JCP made. She found and downloaded a program called "HotDog"
and began teaching herself how to make webpages. "I was tired
and don't remember much." says JCP of the night the first
insane page was created. Some insane thoughts and ideas were added
towards the end of this, but removed in 1997 to appear again in
1998.
Early
1997 - Some reviews and rants are added. DC makes first
appearance in writing the article 'DCian Following' which is about
giving the monkey money when you die. During this time, JCP and
DC decided to expand the site, learn a bit more and begin making
graphics. Stuff that sucks and other lists are began during this
time.
1998
- By this time, JCP and DC had learnt to make graphics. Insane
thoughts and ideas were now on the site, as well as some articles
(killer deer from hell etc) and quotes (now a list). Reviews and
horrorscopes were added to the site. Free code for things like
chat rooms was used but later abandoned as they became either
obsolete, or started generating popups. DC was getting people
writing in to ask questions, and the Ask DC section was soon created
but wouldn't be uploaded until the end of 1998.
1999
Feb - Things are shuffled around a bit, things stripped out
and the Nightmare site makes it's first appearance. People were
able to send in music/movie reviews. This was eventually shut
down due to a great number of people writing in, and it became
a pain in the ass to update. Articles such as Green Socks, and
fish on wheels are added. A lot of the lists were added during
this year.
2000
May - PhotoPaint enters the picture.
New graphics are made, and rollovers are attempted. It took forever
to download, so this new version didn't last long. SAnimal takes
over ask DC for a bit, which starts the Ask SAnimal section. The
link to us section and website graphics were added.
June
- First site that was similar to our current site. Interviews,
stories & adventures, and many articles were added during
this time. The site began to take on its red/white/gray/black
colors. It was hard to organize all the content, and this seemed
to be the simplest layout at that time. Members at this point
included DC, JCP, SAnimal, Cyan and Crystal. The monthly questionnaire
was under 'Stuff to shut you up'.
2001
Feb - Another attempt to clean up the
site's look. This one didn't last long because it sucked.
May
- Another bad layout. Ads were added, and members are now JCP,
DC, SAnimal and Cyan.
June
- Layout and design are still being toyed with! The font for our
logo was used for the first time.
Sept
- Getting much closer to the version we currently have online.
Sections have been established, and DC is finally pictured on
the first page. It was an animated gif. There was still so much
going on that it was confusing to find your way around.
Oct
- Changed layout again. Plastic bag collecting article was first
added!
Dec
- No cheer here finally appears, along with the xmas sucks section.
2002
Jan
- Website icons are first created!
July
- Finally begins to truly look like how it does now. More graphical
navigation, along with the first appearance of Sock Monkey Porn!
April
- ANOTHER change! We always seem to be changing it slightly due
to the amount of content we have.
2003
Site has cleaner look and the top graphic is now more then just
a logo.
June - Kayla adopted on TheInsaneDomain ebay!
July - my.theinsanedomain goes live!
Sock Monkey Porn Star shirts are made available! Hits from 2002
to 2003 is over 3 million.
November - Ask SAnimal section is closed.
2004
Jan - DC leaves the website for an unknown period of time. JCP
begins to answer the new "Insane Q&A" section.
Feb - Mzebonga is officially added to
the list of TID Members. He also spends a week answering insane
questions.
