About this Page
  
    Way back a long time ago, on October 16th, 1998, I made my first web-site. I set up 
an account on Geocities and opened “The Chaos Xone”. While the site has evolved quite a 
bit over time with some sections coming and going, even back then it featured many of 
the same things it features today. Anime and Toy reviews were around back then. Though, 
most were less than a paragraph long and weren’t very descriptive or helpful. We had a 
section for MIDI and hilarious WAV files like so many sites at the time. Also there was 
a section for Artistic works that has since spun off into it’s own site (likely to be as 
well reintegrated if it’s not dropped). Speaking of spin-offs sites coming back, pretty 
much every section has done this at one time.
  
    The initial Chaos Xone was fairly short lived. WAVs and MIDIs ate up a tone of server 
space on the little Geocities account, and the design was a very boring solid black with 
white text. Also back then I used Front-page to make all the pages. I have since learned 
HTML and now make all my pages with Notepad (spellchecked in Word)(exception, Lab reports 
are HTMLized by Word). I made my second website soon after, and it was much more popular 
than the original had ever been. This second website was the Geocities Pokemon Center. 
While not exceptionally impressive, at the time it was one of the first Pokemon websites 
around. It continued to gain popularity till one day Yahoo decided to buy out Geocities. 
This meant that users had to make a few changes to their log in accounts the next time 
they accessed their websites. Unfortunately during this process I lost the password to 
the Pokemon Center and it has not been updated since. It’s for the best however as I was 
generally loosing interest on the topic.
  
    On the Chaos Xone front, the website continued to improve in design. I started making 
buttons for different sections and adding a few more flashy graphics to the works. The 
Anime reviews area spun off into the short lived Anime Xone. The Anime Xone included a 
ton of screen shots however that I could not support on the small server. However the 
screenshots were all originals created by myself. One thing I have almost always worked 
to do on my websites is to make all content original. If I’m just going to offer the same 
garbage I’ve downloaded elsewhere, I may as well just provide a link to that elsewhere 
instead of eating up my own space. Eventually the Anime Xone integrated back into the 
Chaos Xone and finally it disappeared all together.
  
    In “Version 5” of the Chaos Xone, I started to add what I called features. These 
would eventually evolve into the articles found today on Lameazoid. It also featured 
Game reviews, writing, art, and Transformers reviews. The Transformers and Art sections 
had spun off into their own sites as well off and on during this period. Occasionally I 
would pull the art section back and throw up some other bull shit in the space normally 
occupied by it. This was the final version of the Chaos Xone. For a good period of time 
I did not update the website at all.
  
    Eventually it was revived into what you see today. The Chaos Xone was re-christened 
“Lameazoid”, most of the worthless content was either shipped off site or dropped 
completely. The idea was to have a simple website with simple text articles on a regular 
basis. The original layout can be seen in the Rants section. Eventually graphics were 
added for game reviews since it allowed for more opportunity to poke fun at the subject 
and to illustrate some points better. After the first year, I changed everything to the 
“Comic” format, the idea was to review more comic related materials. For a short while 
during this period I expanded the layout to 800 pixels wide and added the “Lame Links” 
section. Eventually I returned tot he 640 pixel width of the past and changed everything 
to the blue “Final Fantasy” layout. Now I’ve found it’s more accommodating if I don’t 
limit the layout to a certain theme for the whole website. I decided to make each section 
have it’s own theme. I could even create custom themes for special articles, then start 
throwing those in at random. Finally Lameazoid.com was registered and I moved the site 
off of Geocities for good.
