Serena's Moonkingdom Five-Year Anniversery + Oh my, has it been five years already?! Well it has and this site has come a loooonnnnnnggggg way. Serena's Moonkingdom first started on November 2nd, 1997 as an ugly stroll page... you remember those, huh kids? Serena's Moonkingdom was a member of alot of big banner clubs (this was back waaaaayyyy before those kawaii clique text links) SM joined very graphical webrings that made since, and, just like every other Sailor Moon site.. SM adopted over 26 different anime pets and placed them on that very long stroll page. Yep, we where up and running back when splash pages where non-existant, there was no such thing as iframes, and automatic image stroll buttons was a thing of fantasy. Back then, Sailormoon sites, such as mine, where a closely knit group of fans who brought Sailormoon on the internet to the waiting audiance (or lack there of). In 1997.... nobody knew about the internet too much... so there was not many people surfing the net.... I started with HTML back in 1996, a year before I came up with this site. Having nothing to do in the local public library, I desided to glance at the computer section. There was no more than 16 computer books within a library that carried more than 95,000 volumes of books. I read one of those Computing For Dummies Books and I was hooked. At that moment I wanted to know everything there was to know about computers. I checked out all 16 books and headed home. I read every book and among those books there was several books on HTML programming. I loved the HTML books so I took them to school... children seen them on my desk and thought I was a genius, others thought I was weird, and others was like... what the hell is a "<body>" tag *something so simple to us webmasters seems so foreign to others*. A few months later my very kewl aunt purchased a Macintosh Performa it was the latest computer in the computing industry and I loved it to death. A few months after working on computers I was changing channels and I happen to see a long haired blond girl transforming into a pretty suited sailor soldier named Sailor Moon. I was very fasinated by the animation style and how the storyline looked and so I got more into it. After that it was all history. I opened up this website, created over 32 versions of this site over that five-year period, and I made a lot of friends that shared the same interest as I. Since 1997 I never left the anime internet community and I expect this site to grow and expand for yet another five years. I would like to thank every single one of my fans who have grown to love this site and all my sisters who helped me though those very sweet years. Thank you, and I hope that you all will keep visiting Serena's Moonkingdom. This
layout: This is a layout made with a fanart of
Usagi holding an American Flag. The SD Usagi
*pictured on the splash page* was also a fanart
made by me, Bunny-sama. The above picture
demonstrates Usagi holding up five fingers which
represents the five years that Serena's
Moonkingdom has been online, her other hand is
holding a flag which shows pride.. I am glad to
be an American. Kewl Huh?!? *note: Bunny spelled
cool like that for the last five years* |
