I made this page because I have been wanting the people to know how this whole mess got started anyways. This story is taken from the perspective of the creator/founder/brain child of Punkdomain (Sheldon).
It was a cold rainy day. I was bored so I decided to make a website. Not like any website I had ever made before. And do you know what that website was called? no...not punkdomain...it was called: Music Zone. It was much like Punkdomainv.1...except Music Zone had band listings of such bands of Metallica and System Of A Down. I updated this 'Music Zone' many times before I realized that no one liked it. So I decided to close it...and by close it I mean delete it off the internet forever. But...my dream of a successful music site was not satisfied...not by a longshot. I still wanted to make a good music site that people went to...but it was missing 1 thing. A catchy name. So I came up with punkdomain. It was practical...but it got my point across (NOTE, I DID NOT RIP OFF PUNKDOMAIN.COM...I HEARD ABOUT THAT SITE LIKE 2 MONTHS AGO!!!). So back to my story...I now had a small site...a shitty layout...and 7 hits. So I needed one more ingrediant to make Punkdomain.net successful...I needed staff members. So I recruted Spencer. He helped update, and write band listings. ?The site amazing gained hits rapidly. So I thought "hey, if 2 staff members means double the hits...then 2 more staff members means 4 times the hits!"...and my hunch was right...as I recrutted Anthony and Jared, the site sky rocketed...however Anthony didn't do much for the site...and to this day continues to not do much...ANYWAYS...So now with my 3 recruits I knew that my crappy layout couldn't harness the awesomeness of Punk Domain so I made Punkdomainv.2. In my mind, version 2 was the point where we gained most success. We gained hundreds of hits and spread the word of bands we loved to many. And along the way we picked up Evan, our 5th staff member. Now anyways...with version 2 out for a while...we needed a better layout...so version 3 was created. With version 3 I think we gained the most content. Our Band Listings were longer, and we got videos for our band listings! We gained a lot of success but we needed one thing...merchandise! But we wanted to wait until we had .net because a "punkdomain.tk" shirt would look like hell.
So many months later, we finally got .net...which was a huge breakthrough because now we could actually make shirts! And we did...and they rule. Then after the shirt making was underway...Punkdomain version 4 came out so fast it was like a how fast a hermit gets a boner when he sees titties......
