Hahahahaha just when you thought this thread had died…!
I started the thor.he.net~bigger site in April 1997 as best I recall - a few dollars mailed anonymously, maybe 1 megabyte/month bandwidth - tiny tiny not very useful site. My PE ‘miracle’ happened July - November 1996, and free web hosting didn’t exist yet.
I NEVER had a forum, and had forgotten all about that. I vaguely remember someone stole the name.
Newart was hellish flame hole. I got into a skirmish there with a guy who sold a MS Word document - this was pre-pdf, and buried in it was his name and location (not Japanese, somewhere in southern California) that I publicized. His style was pretentious as hell - I think this is probably the same BS . I don’t think I bought the doc - I think someone sent it to me. I did buy ($20!!!) the plans for the Lexan (clear) caulk tube homemade pump, which I illustrated and posted for free, including the Magic Mouth, fun masturbation device. (I spent a considerable amount of time - without success - trying to figure out how to make a caulk tube bigger once my new and improved dick could no longer fit into it :-)

I know there were others, one on nbci and one on fortunecity.co.uk for example. I guess his site moved here sometime in 2001?
Wow, that’s impressive - I had forgotten about all those!
I don’t remember when it moved here, but 2001 sounds about right.
Anyway, for the first time in four years I’ve updated my site (should be up later today). No real news, but at least it doesn’t look quite as bad as before.
