What the Hell

My old friend Punkee asked "What ever happened to the Gold Coast Live site (chat and all)." Well as far as the chat goes (Zoneboards) - spam, hackers, the rise of Myspace all played a role in its demise. Time was also a factor. My job forces me away from my computer a lot (thank god) and As for the Gold Coast Live Website, well, it was never really designed properly or anything like that. I was trying to re-type articles from the original magazines and throw them up there for historical purposes. I got quite a few up there but there were so many to go and I ran out of desire or something. So when I decided to let Zoneboards go, I let Gold Coast go with it.

Ah but guess what. Even though the Gold Coast Live site doesn't exist anymore, its still on the internet. Just take a trip to the Way Back Machine and you can view old versions of it. (See previous post or the link to the right in the side bar). Yeah - its still there. Punkee suggested I put it back up - ha ha - I don't have to!!!! Its still here !!!

In response to Punkee's request I typed the Gold Coast Live name into blogger and no one had it so I took that as a sign. A sign that I should breathe life back into it. So here we are with a Gold Coast Live Blog.

I guess now I will track down the old gang and see if it goes anywhere or not. We have a great history - we may as well re-live it some more :-)
