And just when you think everything is fine and dandy, it all goes downhill. Around midnight on New Year's Eve, Web1000 shut down my site due to "Copyright Infringement" as far as I know, I never infringed on any copyrights. I'll never stop hateing Web1000. It's time to tell the true story of what happened during those few dark days. It's a story that hasn't been told before. My website was down, and there was nothing I could do about it. If I tried to re-sign up for my website, It would have been "the crime of theft of service and appropriate law enforcement reporting will be made." So, I had no choice but to move fully to spongezone.shacknet.nu, which was hosted on the school server, and I redirected spongezone.tk to that. It would have all been fine, except for one major detail. Thousands of people visited directly through spongezone.reallyrules.com, and there were dozens of search engine posts and links to it. The people visiting wouldn't know how to get to Sponge Zone. The real problem started 48 hours later. Instead of leaving up the "Spongezone.reallyrules.com is closed" message up permanently, It was replaced by a huge advertisement with numerous pop-ups. So? Whats the big deal? Well, this wasn't a regular ad, it was a p*rn site. Yes, that. The people at Web1000 disgust me. Instead of seeing a friendly SpongeBob site, hundreds and maybe thousands of innocent children saw something they should not have. The situation was terrible. I probably lost thousands of visitors permanently because of the morons at Web1000. But for the second of many times, Compbrain came to the rescue. He registered spongezone.reallyrules.com under his own name, and set it to redirect automatically to the site at school. Thanks to him, thousands more didn't see the debauchery of Web1000. Things went back to normal afterwards. I started churning away at Sponge Zone 2003. On 1-10-03, The new Sponge Zone was created. One of the main reasons was to separate myself from the whole Web1000 incident. The second main reason was because I didn't want SpongeBob Online to surpass my site in graphics with its new layout. The final reason was because frankly, the old Sponge Zone looked like crap. On 1-22-03, Sponge Zone 2003 was completed with the purchase of a domain name, www.spongezone.net. The school had a few network problems at the end of the month, but due to Compbrain's help again, the site stayed up by being hosted on my linux computer at home.

Ah memories.  Was anyone around during the web1000 porn debacle?
Yes.
Wasn't this like very recent though?
Like only a few months ago?


I remember SBC was like amazing....
I don't remember much but remember it got me into computers...


EDIT: sorry don't remember the web1000 porn thing...

got confused with another site that had the same problem.

My old USB Family Tree thread that made so many people mad was incredibly fun. :P

Everyone took it so seriously and I just found it funny so I kept it going as long as I could.

That was such a great topic, too bad the kiddies took it so seriously.

In order to make it through the world one needs some insanity.

Yeah I bet you and the mods conspired against us so you'd post that.

Everyone should be able to see that forum.  It's unfair.

I remember, like, getting married and adopting kids. That was awesome, and in retrospect, probably really disgusting.
