The Shadow Fan

I have been a web designer since the year 2000. My very first website was a gaming one that really didn't have a name...I used a program called Dreamweaver, and my host was GeoCities and this was just the beginning of my long and fun journey through being a webmaster!

Soon after this a friend at school told me of Homestead at the time a free host that had a site builder program built into it so I started making my next websites with Homestead. With Homestead I built Maze 1509 a online text game, which never made it out of the beta tests. After Maze 1509 I created Computer Games and More! AKA CGam and later Video Games and More! with another friend. These two websites were gaming websites, telling news about games, giving reviews, codes, etc... Next I thought of creating a company that would of been behind these three websites and I meet all these people who then formed with me Packom Interactive. Packom Interactive was meant to be a gaming company. We did not make one game, but we did come up with ideas for a couple with some music to go along with the games. We then created Atlantis: Neptune Colony 5 which was a website for our game, Atlantis: Neptune Colony 5. Then I wanted to remake Computer Games and More! along with Video Games and More! into one site called 2Gam which never launched.

A while after that a person in Packom Interactive wanted to make the leap from Homestead to GeoCities where we would actually use html code to create our websites. We did and we recreated the Packom Interactive website. With this new website we used .CJB.NET to shorten the address, which I still use now. Then we were remaking CGam and VGam into Packom Gam AKA PGam, which sadly never launched. After that I wanted to change the name of Packom Interactive and we came up with Packom Planet and along with this came a new site, but this site never went live. Packom Planet was one of the nicest sites that I have created with Dreamweaver and from now on I have always used Dreamweaver. The problem was that I was building the site by myself and we just had some problems with forms and stuff. That was the fall of Packom Planet and basically my internet web design for a month or so... I really liked Packom Planet and to see it collapse even though nothing was made, it was just a fun experience. I meet a lot of new friends with Packom Planet and along with those friends a few enemies.

Once I started coming back online one of my friends from Packom Planet wanted to pull the team together and start a website JF Studios, now called Funded Design. On this website we would put 3d objects and music using a host Brinkster. No one really enjoyed this site it just didn't do well so we all abandoned it. From then on we all stayed in touch and we have not built another website together since.

That now bring me to this website, The Shadow Fan. You can read in Who Am I about why I built this site. With this site I use GeoCities for the pages themselves and Bravenet for the polls as well as the host for all the pictures in the gallery.

With the host Brinkster I went off building a website called The Cube Ruins, where another friend and I gave news, reviews, codes, etc... about GameCube. We teamed up with an xbox site called Xbox Evolution AKA X-Evo. The website had some problems at the beginning, but we fixed them and got the website up. Sometimes during updates my friend would upload his version of the site without getting the updates that I did to the site so all the updates that I made would be gone. This made me very angry so I left The Cube Ruins and X-Evo was abandoned as well.

At this point in my online life my dad wanted me to stop updating The Shadow Fan website and start something else like a War of the Worlds website, which intrigued me, but I couldn't just leave The Shadow Fan! And as you can tell I did not leave The Shadow Fan website and I did not create a War of the Worlds website.

Next an online friend from the game Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast wanted to know if I wanted to make an online guild for GameCube and I said yes. Now at the time GameCube wasn't a online system so we were preping up to be the first GameCube clan for when it went online. The clan was called Heavens Rogues and we did have a lot of people who were going to sign up, but my online friend got to the point were he annoyed me so much that it wasn't fun anymore, so I left and like many of my sites it was abandoned.

From there I started my own Gamecube clan called G3 (Gamecube Gaming Guild). This clan did last for a little while, but due to the lack of online support for the Gamecube, G3 members just started leaving as there wasn't much to do with the clan itself.

During that time, 2002, I got my second .COM address URL StuffWeLike.Com. It's used to be a technology website from gaming to tv shows that you should be watching. Eventually it evolved to be the only place where visitors could download my movies like The Next-Generation of Heroes (2003-2004). We yet again changed the focus of the site but to now include my movies and product reviews/previews (2004-2005).

Well I don't know what the future has instore for me and I don't want to know so I can just live my life the way that I want to!
