Title: What the heck is going on?
Post by: winbindd on March 02, 2006, 02:04:44 pm

So, by now, you all probably think the UnitedSpongebob.com lives in the back of a truck that happens to be driving all over the US. While that sounds cool, its not actually true- The server has changed 6 times in 5 years, not too bad considering a bunch of kids started the whole thing.
Yesterday and todays fun happenings were caused by a friendly neighborhood network card, that decided it needed a lunch break that it didnt get. Oh well :)

Edit by Cmonkey:  Also, happy 19th birthday to forum moderator Vulture.

6 times?  I think perhaps it's been on more servers than that.  The following is a long but probably not complete listing of places it's been hosted.
web1000.com
netfirms.com
geocities.com
1&1.com
2 different webservers at my old high school
the pentium 233 that was sitting under my desk at home
CMU student userspace
Lunarhosting.com
layeredtech.com
netriplex.com (twice, in two different places).

All in all, it's been quite a ride.

Yea, geocities lasted for about 5 minutes.  I think I went with angelfire for a few hours once too.

yeah. It was their worst point. Read their history in the Misc. section. Well, I thought the server move was over. I hope the turbulence is done now.

EazyForumz is even worse, then all those, It gives you a default skin who knows what color it could be.
