I don't remember the first time I ever wandered into SOH. I am certainly no plank owner. I am guessing 2002 or so maybe a bit later- 2003. I just remember at the time I was looking for a place that would host the MaskRider scenery website- I had been kicked out of my free digs due to chronic bandwidth overages. Whoever I got in touch with, probably Ickie, was very obliging. At the time the SOH software had some deal going that allowed it to go to your existing website and recreate a very close facsimile of it that fit into the SOH format using all of your own custom images, frame-sets and so on. Very cool.
I confess that my first love was dear old CFS2 Online (later Netwings). I remember that when ever CFS2 Online would go down- we would all migrate over here to SOH. And vice versa.
I remember saying, after CFS2 Online changed over to Netwings (with the release of CFS3), that I would remain stubbornly with CFS2, like an old Dinosaur, wandering thru a progressively emptier and an emptier landscape where old friends were fewer and fewer and further and further between.
Well, here we all are!
Thanks to all who make SOH happen. Happy 9th!
