Happy Birthday Keyframe!

[athena]

Tomorrow will be the 7th anniversary of the site going online. I probably wouldn't remember this date at all--I'm terrible with birthdays, just ask any of my friends--if it weren't for the fact that during the first couple years the site had a visitor counter hailing X number of visitors since "Feb 11, 1999."

The site has come a long way... and prove just how far we've come, I'm going to open a little time-capsule for this weekend only. You've likely heard me talk about in this forum the 'old Keyframe' vs. the 'new Keyframe'... the new Keyframe is a sleak database driven entity that allows both users and administrators a great deal of control... the old Keyframe was an HTML monster of several hundred pages... the bigger it got, the more problematic it was to update... until the weight of the updates finally drove me to design the current site.

So why bring back the beast?

Because, between Feb 1999 and January 2003, over 800 reviews were written by people who visited the old site... 800 reviews that could *not* be transferred to the new Keyframe and have not seen the light of day since that 'old Keyframe' went offline... a fact which was my one regret about the changeover to this new site.

But, just for this weekend, you can take a little blast through the past... enjoy.

Wow. It's amazing to see how far the site has come after all these years. Holy crap.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday, Keyframe!

OMG, deja vu. Amazing . . . . different, but such a great change . . . .

Happy Birthday Keyframe.

Here's a hastily made birthday cake pic I made, enjoy.

That's a cute little cake there, starlac!

*today's my mom's birthday too . . .*

Hey, there I am, too. Amazing that Balto had 35 reviews and still maintained an average of 4 stars. Sort of shoots down my recent theory about whatever.

Anyway happy birthday.

Wow I remember that version. It's neat to see how far the site has come. :)
Congrats on 7 years!

[athena]

Aww, thanks for the cake! :)

I get amazed at how far we've come too... there are in fact seven versions of the site on my hard drive--the 'old Keyframe' I uploaded was Keyframe_v4... it doesn't exactly work out to one new edition of Keyframe per year... some years there were two in one year and some years I didn't make any real code changes to the site... but it's definitely been an evolution.

Hehe... particularly since it was supposed to be a "little" web design project that I started during a light semester of university... ya know, just for the heck of it.


So cheers Keyframe! May we still be here in another seven years. :jester:
