I was just wondering. I guess this question is more for Admin to answer, or whoever was some of the firsts. How long did it take to accumulate all the users we now have? Did the site just become a hit right away? Did you advertise it around, how'd people find it?

this site was started late june/early july of 2004. It used to be the admin's personal site, barofsoap.com. He was one of the first people to receive his ipod and he made a site with pictures and instructions. Around that time freeipods starting getting coverage in the press, and admin saw a biz oppurtunity from the thousands of daily visitors, and he started this site with an irc chatroom and a shoutbox. On sept.11 2004, he finally made this forum after much prodding from users. Any other Q's?

These days it's not much of a business. I try to keep the ads down to a low roar (two little text links, one for me and one for a mod). Donations have been pretty slow (not that I don't appreciate them, though).
