History of The Unofficial "World of Nintendo!!!!!!"
January 1996- I get on-line for the first time and start looking
around for other Nintendo web pages, and find some!!!
February 1996- I start to realize that there are very few web pages that
are just for Nintendo AND cover every Nintendo system. So the idea comes
into my head that I just might make a web page like that, with
thousands of tips, Game Genie codes, passwords, and FAQs. So my quest
begins and I start making Game Genie codes, and start looking for all of
the tips, codes and all of that other stuff, and I get permission from
Nintendo of America to use there stuff!!!!!!!!
June 1996- I think I have enough stuff to start the page, so I start
looking for a place where I can get a web page. Sure enough, on June
13 I find Geocities, a place where you can get a free 10 MB web page.
June 13 1996- I sign up with Geocities at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/1026/
with just a few link's and a message that say's my page will one
day become one of the best Nintendo web pages on the web.
August 30 1996- My page counter passes 10,000 visitors, then it only
takes about a month for it to double to 20,000.
November 29 1996- My web page counter passes 50,000 visitors and
the web page is getting about 600 visitors a day!!!
January 18 1997- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE WEB PAGE GET'S ERASED
by an on-line scam. So the next day after that, I get a web
page at http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/6454/
and I'm back down to about 5 visitors a day.
February 27 1997- My page is up to where it get's about 200 visitors
a day and the counter passes 100,000 visitors!!!! PLUS, I get my own
DNS at http://www.world-of-nintendo.com/!!! PLUS this is also the
day that I turned 20 years old.
May 2 1997- I put over 50 Message Boards up on the page!!!
May 20 1997- The counter passes 150,000 visitors.
June 13 1997- The page becomes one year old and I now get around 1,000
visitors a day!!! On my first year, I get 
visitors!!!!!
December 20 1997- The counter passes 
!!!
Other 1997 stuff- New sections get put up, Game Endings, puzzles, sounds and
pictures.
January 1998- The web page has it's first contest with more to come.
Plus a review section get's put up on the site.
February 13th, 14th, 15th- I get about 1,500 E-mail's in three days thanks to
the second contest where you could only get entered by sending stuff in. It
takes about four months to get all of the stuff put up on the site. In future
contests you can enter each day and get bonus entries from sending stuff in.
June 13 1998- The web page becomes two years old. In two years the web
page get's 941,323 visitors. The title page get's a new look and now you
can now choose between frames and no frames.

over 3,000 visitors a day!!

December 29 1998- The web page get's 60,147 hits!!!
Other 1998 stuff- Ton's of new sections get added. Nintendo servers, Game
Shark codes, Pro Action Replay codes, and the Official Game Genie codes
plus fun stuff, like Game Ending ideas, Game Challenges, and Game Ending
ideas get added. At the start of the year there are only about 1,000 HTML
files, not counting the Message Boards, and by the end of the year there
are over 5,700 HTML files and still growing and growing and growing!!
January 30, 1999- The web page passes 10,000 visitors in one day. It get's
bombed with 10,539 visitors and also sets a hit record, with 62,541 hits.
April 16 1999- The first Game Cube Message Board is put up on the internet.
Other 1999 stuff. More new sections. Instruction Manuals, Release Dates, a
Fun Stuff section with a ton of stuff, and the news section dies.
January 1, 2000- The web page survives the Y2K bomb but my computer crashes
from the Y2K bomb. The Message Boards arn't Y2K complient. They say the date
is 19100 until I fix it!!! Then I get new Message Boards.
Future goals-
Get 10,000,000 visitors before the year 2004.
Get over 12,000 visitors in one day.
Get the size of the web page above 10,000 HTML files.
(Right now there are around 9,000 HTML files.)
