steelmanronald06 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Supertrooper images were used to as restricted access images. We had that one first that if you tried to view an admin section on the main site you seen that. Then we changed it to one where a guy from supertroopers was flipping you off if you tried to access a restricted site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Pretty sure that when I joined the site the admins were Eric and Derek. Some of the mods' names I remember were Gizmola (still here), Kreig (great avatars), Shivabahrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ober Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 czambran and I went a few rounds both before and after I got promoted. We eventually got along, but it took a while. I miss tvc... wonder what happened to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss tvc... wonder what happened to him? my guess is that life happened to him. EDIT: since it has also happened to all of us, it must have happened to him in a BIG way.

JasonLewis Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hmmm the history is pretty interesting. Ever consider writing a book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've mentioned writing a book a few times before but the problem always is....who is going to write it? I'd like to write it but I doubt I could write an actual book...like...something more than 5 pages. I'm sure the history of this place could be written pretty descript enough that it fits into a small book but it would take a lot of research.....and it would probably take more than one person....or SEVERAL interviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 It would be something to explore, most defiantly. Released as an eBook or even as an ordinary book. PHPFreaks is a pretty well known place, although if you want to make it bigger wait a few more years. Or start it now then add to it as important events take place.

Zane Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Although, other than admin, moderator and PFR promotions and demotions I can't really think of what it would be about. I'm sure the statistics could be thrown in there and the little behind the scenes scuffles that go on. But most of all that is just nostalgia for whoever reads it. What really matters in a history book is the milestones. Who was there? Why it happened? Also it would need some sort of point of view of an outsider. Point of views of what phpfreaks meants to them; how they found it. What the general consensus on the internet was about it. So the history would have to be written once by us and then recrafted or re-written in such a way that it wasn't biased...or if you may....an autobiography. If you get me? Eric would play a big part in it in the beggining and word on the streets is...he never has much time for anything. If all of that were to come together as one....then if would make for a great book/biography/history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I really don't think a history of phpfreaks would make headline news, but I do agree it would be nostalgic for people. I think it would be a very interesting project to take on, and I did already express interest in being the one to do it. I have not gotten a response yet as to whether I can get the tools to do it or not, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I have not gotten a response yet as to whether I can get the tools to do it or not, though. What do you need? I can spare a few bucks for a pen and some paper if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I really don't think a history of phpfreaks would make headline news Well, I doubt the intentions of simple biography are to make headline news....I know your being eccentric..but that's pretty far'fetched. I really wouldn't know where to start though.... I know where I can start, but where I start and someone else starts is two different things....I pretty much started learning PHP here. with the exception two books I bought years ago. If we could get Eric's take on it....we could actually get the "Once upon a time" aspect of it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akitchin Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 seriously? people think writing a book about the PHPFreaks history is worth the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I knew someone would say it sooner or later. :/ that's just it...who has the time that would take an awfully long time and and lot of research to make a decent product......IF it were worth I doubt it is, but it seems interesting...

ohdang888 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 just curious, but who techincally owns phpfreaks.com and does all the promotions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 eric owns it, but i pwn it. As far as promotions...if by that you mean marketing ourselves, SEO, etc...afaik we don't do any of that. We just grow because we're that damn cool. Well, I am, anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
