"In the beginning, there was void..."Everything begun back in 1999 when I did my first few steps in the world wide web and I really have to tell you, these few steps have been very expensive, about $0,05 per minute but that didn't put me off. I was already working on Doom maps and I really wanted to release these efforts to the newly discovered fan communities like Doomworld.com and Doomnation.com to get some feedback and response. So having a personal place where I can release my own projects was quite reasonable. Unfortunately my knowledge in this area was ... well, let's say limited. Microsoft Word, Geocities.com Pagebuilder and Corel Photopaint 4.0 seemed like a professional solution (shame on me). Only few people actually know, that the first version of "Tormentor's Realm 667" was white/red, though got replaced quickly with a black/red color sheme that stayed for quite a long time.

Months later I discovered the benefit of frames (dare you laughing, in 2000 frames have been the non-plus-ultra!) and made a little redesign with the help of Microsoft Word 98 and added a few nice Javascripts and-applets like Counters, Rolloverbuttons, Expanding Menus and other goodies to spice things up. And - believe it or not - I even won a few awards with this homepage ("Site of the Month" by DoomWadStation, "Site of the Month" by All4Gaming (more on that lobbyism later), "Top Site Award" by DooMiNatioN).
