It is 1998. My family has a used Packard Bell 486/DX-2 PC with MSN dial-up internet and Windows 95.

It is 2000. I have the family Packard Bell all to myself since my step-dad bought a brand new Gateway 2000 with a blazing fast 200 MHZ Pentium Pro

Z-INK. (Circa 2000)

It is 2001. My 486 died, and my grandparents bought me an HP Pavilion desktop. It ran at 350 mhz and sported a zippy AMD K6-2. Z-INK has turned into my personal software company. As a kid I developed little applications with "The Games Factory" and published them there. I also started using the username Kujila on BYOND.com in June of 2001.

It is 2003. I now have a Pentium IV 1.7 ghz and a Radeon 9000. I've entered the computer gaming world, and regularly play Counter-Strike 1.5 with my 56k.

I register Kujila.com for my personal site. The 2003 version showed off its fancy MSPAINT logo designs and MS frontpage layouts. Sadly, this version was never cached by the wayback machine.

Later in 2003, Kujila.com became a Bittorrent tracker, running off of my old 350 mhz machine I listed above. By this time I had gotten my prized DSL connection (Which I use to this day). The tracker ended up with connectivity problems, so I quit that idea.


----------------

It is 2004. I still have my trusty Pentium IV. This reincarnation, Kujila.com became a personal blog for my high-school mind to pour.

It is late 2004. I have an Athlon 64 3200+ with double the memory my P4 had. The Bittorrent tracker and blog didn't hold my interest, so I switched back to a personal homepage. The main structure of the site hasn't changed much since here.

I also register a new domain name, Cameoa.com, and attempt to use a free-website host affiliate program to host websites with it.

...and then a reseller affiliate account

It is 2005. Kujila.com remains mostly the same with minimal modifications to the layout.

On the heels of the very-much-at-the-time-anticipated program "eXeem" Cameoa.com turns into a forum community based around eXeem

Cameoa.com (Circa early 2005)

eXeem fails to gain attention from the P2P community, and my forum flops without a userbase

It is 2006. I revamp the design of the Kujila.com website.

Kujila.com (Circa 2006)

I started posting regularly on the YTMND forums. When the YTMND forums started banning lots of users, I opened a spin-off forum for those users, called thepriceislol.com. It used a legal, but dated copy of Invision Power Board. In response, I switched to the fantastic MyBB software. Most of the original database was converted to MyBB.

TPIL (Circa early 2006)

In fall of 2006, a forum user donates enough money to purchase a VBulletin license for the forum. The MyBB database is again converted into VBulletin. A new logo emerges.

TPIL (Circa late 2006)


Thepriceislol evolves to have a frontpage with user-submitted content:

It is 2007. I have a Core 2 Duo E6400 with double the amount of memory my Athlon had.

Kujila.com still uses its 2006 design.

4chan.org announces immediate closure as a joke. I open zchan.org to accommodate users. It used the Wakaba imageboard software. No interest was generated and zchan was closed. It re-opened and closed two or three times after that, and is now closed forever.

Members of rival forums get access to TPIL via an admin password several times in early 2007, defacing the site multiple times. TPIL users and users from rivaling forums get my personal info and start harassing me in real life. I close the forum for a few months.

The forum re-opens mid-2007 with all the old content cached, a tweaked logo, and the front-page removed.

I was just bored, so I thought I would take a walk down memory lane and share it with you :)
