I've had some visitors e-mail me asking what happened to the site, but loving the new one. This is our official goodbye now. We've tested this for a month, and it is here to stay. Everyone also give a bug thanks to T-Wolfe for all the work he put in to tweaking our old site. Also, most of you won't remember Zackron from so many years ago. But he helped me lay the initial functions and framework for our site that set me on about a decade project of hand coding our site from scratch. Also a mention to Xanthus, another very old school BK for a few function suggestions and code help. And finally, some great statistics from our old site ... [list][*]At one point, our google page rank was a 6/10. That's quite high for a clan site [*]At one point, we were earning triple digit revenue from Adsense on our site. [*]We achieved a total of [b]11,305[/b] [u]registered[/u] visitors on our old site. [*]Our peak traffic averaged over 4,000 hits per day at one point [*]There were [b]14,130[/b] total threads in our forums [*]There were [b]139,505[/b] posts on our forums [*]There were over [b]1,600[/b] screen shots uploaded [*]I received over 80,000 PMs during the life of that site lol [/list] A tribute (I cut the screen shot and pieced it together for size reasons) ...

Lol. Man there's alot of memories in those pages. I only had a small taste of the programming involved to keep it functional and it was no joke but well worth it. Its great to see my clan, my set, my online family survived the times. THe saga continues. BK 4 Life. ----------------------------------- MadCatX Sat, Aug 08 2009, 11:35 AM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- Dude are you still out in Cali? What have you been up to man? ----------------------------------- torquemada Sun, Aug 09 2009, 03:12 AM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- [quote user="MadCatX" post="2022"]Dude are you still out in Cali? What have you been up to man?[/quote] I just got back home in Northern Cali. After servin my sentence I was in Sin City for a few. One word about that - WILD!!! LOL. Good to talk to you Mad, T, and everybody. Shit was and is surreal but they do say that reality is stranger than fiction; alot of changes in the world not the least of which is our site. Functionally its ironclad, bulletproof but Hey T-Bird holla at me when you ready to add some of the old character and flavor we definitely need the history section and roster but I'm lovin' it. ----------------------------------- Sinden Sun, Aug 09 2009, 01:18 PM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- yeah, id definitly like to see the history section back up. ----------------------------------- torquemada Sun, Aug 09 2009, 03:22 PM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- The old site is still currently alive for those with eyes to see. LOL [url=http://www.blackknightsclan.com/history.asp]BK History, Legacy, Etc. ----------------------------------- T-Bird Sun, Aug 09 2009, 10:15 PM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- There is a history section on this new site. And there are numerous threads about it where I ask for help with our history section and all the people who were "OMG nice new site T, you worked so hard on it just tell me what you need and I will give you a hand" suddenly disappeared etc. [url=http://www.blackknightsclan.org/kb.php?mode=cat&cat=4]Our History [url=http://www.blackknightsclan.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=92&p=1086]My thread requesting BK help with it [url=http://www.blackknightsclan.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=87&p=809]My thread giving you all sorted access to every thread in BK history [url=http://www.blackknightsclan.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=38]My other help request And if all else fails, we do have a functioning search feature on this new site (that's how I dug up those threads I just linked, I typed "history" in the search box). The search on this site actually works amazingly well. ----------------------------------- torquemada Sun, Aug 09 2009, 10:51 PM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- Yeah! Damn this site rocks 4 real. The functionality is really off the meter, man. Dope. ----------------------------------- Dalrath Sat, Aug 15 2009, 09:13 PM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- [quote user="T-Bird" post="1898"]Hey you finally came to the fucking site since you disappeared last year on your way to DF![/quote] Yea, shit happens! Oh well. I guess the money went to good use? The old site was kinda dead since there were no games being played. I had fun back in the Savage/BF2 days. ...No animosity I hope. ----------------------------------- T-Bird Sun, Aug 16 2009, 12:40 AM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- Nah of course not man. ----------------------------------- Dalrath Sun, Aug 16 2009, 02:18 PM Re: RIP The Old BK Site ----------------------------------- Tight.
