Pioneering communication since two decades
My character started to change between 2007 and 2008. Before Dirk tried to take my domain name away, i was different. Sure, i was getting bullied and life was not perfect, but i was still a dreamer. This is why the internet was a big part of my life, and this other person tried to steal a slice. He failed, which is why i can say today that i have continuously pioneered online communities since at least 2002. This is the year i have registered dforum dot com.
The addresses to my projects have changed since 1998, but to be honest, the basic idea is the same. Just different code, colors, and layouts. Marketing likes to sell it as innovative technology, but in the end, these are all digital forums, with slightly different flavors. The internet is about communication, with living people or with dead machines. And no one should be able to take it away.
When i look at my personal photos from my time before, i can see me smiling without too much thinking. I have slowly stopped doing it since 2008. I invite you to look at them, if you have nothing to do. I hope they stay here long enough for you to see them. I wish i was more visually attractive, because my brain is fried from being sad, about the world, and me being in it. I tried a lot to do my part, but as i said before, there are limitations on what you can make out of trash.
I can toy around a lot with things that are no longer loved, because they have done their job. But this is only something worth to me. Would you give me a place to live, and food to not die? Somewhere i'm not forced to leave, and don't want to leave? And if you read from the start, you know i liked watching The Simpsons. I liked colors and music, but i became numb to survive.
