lol yes Elwing added the intro bamf to the site, i had noooo part other than posting the piece, it was a much appreciated addition

i think i may still have that saved with my colletibles gallery somewhere... my bad i thought that klady was talking about the animation web section itself... reread my mistake.

My animation skillz outside of smilie creation are sub par. I really shld fully read a post, when i'm coding before commenting sigh.
I'm a database and winform data entry designer, don't do too much pretty stuff. Odd i like doing photography, but i digress.
I did a bouncing ball in flash once nothing as nice as what you did however.
And as much as i did maintain and add bitz and pieces here and there to the site, several original founders of the board here, did help me. elwing with the intro bamf, bamfette with her original smilie set that everyone added onto, i still have many of the ones i created using her template, i see a few are still here. etc... Heck when i got married, Bamfette even ran the site for me for a week

, and towards the end of it's demise Diablo helped me quite a bit, but his life started causing him to have less and less time for it.
lol shudder wiki, yeah some of my orig text is used there as is several straight pulls from marvel.com bios page. Dont get me wrong good resource. I used it to reference a dante's inferno shoot i am working on...
and as i said my site was hosted at my ex works server
![happy :)](./images/smilies/happy.gif)
i had over 1 gig of files stored on the server and bout a 5 MB sql database. Sadly though we were a web dev company and my site generated no revenue but was the top site that we hosted, fortunately my boss at the time never found out

. Only real issue i ran into is when people started directly linking to content, images etc, and embedding them on the geocities (yahoo nowdays) hosted webpages... had to create a script to prevent the linkage. The bandwidth they were sucking was insane....
eh i really can't take credit for any of this inspiration or not, and i wont. I saw this come online b/c of events that occured at comixfan forums, bamfette and ugh can't rem his name launched this bck in day and the popularity of it really took off. And really inspiration wise all the ideas that people throw together here and as i browse thru the board still do well...
