I've always considered knoifey-spoony.com (shortened to KSCom for convenience when I talk about her) to be my virtual baby. She was my official first step into genuine webmastery; not just another username on one of those free servers or someone else's domain (not to say that people who are hosted that way aren't any good - just that it's not my preferred method).

Now. There's a very quick summary of KSCom on my online history page (along with this link to help explain further), but that doesn't really tell you much of interest about this site's backstory, so I figured I'd expand a little for those interested (assuming anyone is interested, of course. Oh, well, I'm interested, so nyeh).

KSCom was registered on the 15th of April, 2004 by the Host Who Shall Not Be Named, through Enetica (as of September 2nd, 2007, this domain is registered at Namecheap). I was first hosted for free by a friend of a friend, which turned out to be an absolute disaster. The guy disappeared constantly, didn't respond to my emails, and pretty much just wasn't any help at all.

... went up in June, 2004, and looked like this while I was there:

It was very pink, as you can see, titled "Cancelling the Internet," as you can't, and featured Dominic Monaghan in the header. Speaking of the header, I didn't actually make that; it was kindly created for me by a person I was friends with way back then, since I was creatively stunted when it came to blended graphics, and I desperately wanted a blended header.

The site itself was mostly devoid of substantial content, with only a few pages with little bits of anything interesting on them.

From what I can remember (and Archive.Org tells me), eventually I gave up and got myself hosted by TwistyBot (if you've read this page, you'll understand that was doomed to failure as well).

... went up in September or October, 2004, and turned into this:

It was with v.02 that KSCom discovered its now permanent title of pr0n & chocolate. The layout featured Elijah Wood. While v.02 was up, there was pretty much no content at all. I'd always planned to create pages and stuff, but I never got around to it. Yes, I could be a professional procrastinator if someone would just hire me.

I may show up for shifts a few hours late, but you had to have known that going in.

Then, on a fateful day in November, 2005...

... I decided to put the site on hiatus while I worked on a complete revamp.

...

Yeah, real funny, isn't it? KEEP LAUGHING, JERK.

... was hoisted back up in June, 2007, and emerged:

Clearly that hiatus dragged on a little bit longer than I had originally anticipated, but hopefully KSCom as it is now, finally living up to some of its potential, isn't too shabby, all things considered.

Just for the record, I've used Archive.Org as a reference to help me with dates and time periods, as I mostly suck at remembering this stuff myself, so I may not have events down to within a day either side of them happening, but they're as accurate as I can make them.
