Maybe Chococrazy or ReDDs will remember this? Oh, the nostalgia! This was the second template we ever used for our site! (Before we used WordPress. The first template was all coded by me (all from scratch) but I don't have a screenshot of it.

Hahaha, it looks kind of one of those scam websites in my opinion. xP

Heh hee, never seen this one, pretty fun to know history of this site

... I'm tearing up ...
Ahahah all the logos we tried to make, and speaking of nostalgia I like what you did with PRF .

They filed that DMCA against me and I had PRF as a simple blank page (even though I wasn't infringnig on anything, and they hadn't filled out the DMCA field where they have to tell me what I'm infringing on, and WestHost wouldn't give me their private information so i could directly contact them) and now I felt like I could do more good by explaining to everyone what PrizeRebel is.

I've also already been contacted by people reading the site who want to write articles for me.

Lol, I vagly remember it. When was this? But I don't think it looks too bad, it's is pretty bad, but no overly bad.

This was in December of 2009. I remember because it was the first time I tried using Illustrator, which was when I made that logo.

I believe this was after I started using Wordpress in November of 2009. The forum was still phpBB.

The forum says I joined March 10, but I'm sure I've been here longer than that, and I remember seeing that HP.

That design reminds me of a scam website as well.

I'm really glad we have a content-rich homepage now.

And guess what I just noticed - when you Google Search w3techie it no longer shows the "Did you mean: w3techs?" I guess Google finally decided that w3techie is large enough not to be a random typo!

You've probably searched w3techie so much it remember it. It still does it to me.

Google is bipolar right now... Yesterday I swear it didn't show, yet sitelinks didn't show either. Now the "Did you mean" shows and the sitelinks show.

  We'll see how it plays out.

It pretty much recognized 'Friendtree' within weeks, and recognized 'PSDHut' within days! Surprised that the SEO expert is struggling, lol.

This is the first site I've ever created that was so similar to another name that it had the 'Did you mean?'

However, I guess it proves that domains don't need a certain age before showing sitelinks.
