Howdy everyone. My real name is Bob. I'm known as AWS on many forums. People kept confusing me with the other AWS, Amazon Web Services. I was the original AWS. First used the handle in 2000 when I distributed the scripts I coded in ASP and Perl.

 

Forums have been a passion of mine since 1995 when I hacked up a Frontpage extension guestbook script to turn it into a discussion area of my Visual Basic site. I do believe it was the first forum.

 

Through the years I've created, nurtured, bought and sold many forums. I love forums. I have made many friendships on forums. Unfortunately some of those friends have passed. I hope to make many more in the future.

 

Thanks for letting me be a part of this community.

Howdy Bob. Thanks for registering on Administrata - I'm sure you'll find pleasure in being here. :) Welcome aboard! If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I imagine the internet looked a whole lot different in 1995. I wasn't around until 7-8 years later.

Born in 1955 in Stuttgart, Germany. So I'm 69 years young.

Brilliant age, lol. Just noticed you currently reside in Tampa, hope you aren't struck too hard by the hurricane ?

Was in the middle of it. Wife and I went up north out of the track. Came home and had no damage. Neighbor lost his roof.

Damn. I've watched some videos on facebook and saw some really wild things. Glad you're okay though!

I seem to remember jCodes. I think some of the members of my .Net programming forum are also members there.

It's awesome that you remember it and that there may be some of your members a part of my forum. I'm surprised when people join who don't have a Jcink board. (y)

Welcome Bob, I suddenly don't feel quite so old any longer.
