The Picture Frame Forums ~ View topic - History of PF (for newbies and oldies to remember the times)

Alright, so you might think this forum has only been around for a few days, but thats not it at all! This is just to inform and kinda remind ourselves it didn't all start here.

March 2003: Someone gets severely annoyed by MSM, and decides another forum needs to exist.

April 2003: Hosted by hold-on.org (Jen's old domain, friend of Dora), PF is born! Juliane and lots of way back then members joined. Back then, PF was an invision board!

May 2003: PF crashes, Dora has to restart PF, with PHPbb!

Around June 2003: Dora finds a new host, icecreambox.com, Jen's domain eventually dies.

August/September 2003: Steph, Kiya and regulars join.

~December 2003: iceceambox.com runs out of bandwdith because PF is too big! It is moved to fanphilia.com (Steph #2's domain).

Between august and december 2003: Cliques at PF are born, the Sexy Seven, and the Naughty Nine. We were few, but became GREAT friends.

March 2004: Steph #2's server experiences many outages and Dora decides we need a new home!

March 2004: Kendra and Dora team up and plan a surprise on everyone: Kendra buys sea-of-faces.org and Dora works hard on backing PF up and moving it, set to open April 1, APRIL FOOLS!

April 2004: Everyone is shocked because they think PF will be closed down forever. Wrong! PF is re-born in a new home.

Between then and now: People have met, people have arguyed, became best friends, created long lasting friendships. Thats what keeps this place alive so long.

September 2005: After countless problems with the host, there is one big crash and PF is lost. This after reaching over 1000 members. Dora decides we need to move on, and decides a free host (that backs up properly!) is needed, and easier to maintain (not to mention costs less), PF is moved to a very nice new home, greatboard.com

those are the good old days Crying or Very sad

awwww

everyone..can we sing The way we were

Memoriesssss
Like the corners of my mind
misty watercolored memories
of the way we were......

scattered PICTURES
of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
for the way we were

can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we
Could we

Memories
are so beautiful and yet
whats to painful to remember
we simply choose to forget

and it's the laughter
we will remember
whenever we remember
the way we were

ok someone remind me not to get mushy and all verklempt again

and these days i wish it was 2 years ago..LMAO! *tries and makes it sound like john*
