Established A.D. 2000, March 19. Now in our eleventh calendar year!
Number 521 (Vol. 11, No. 12). This edition is for the week of March 15--21, 2010.
Ten Years Later I've told the story so many times. But here, during the week this online publication actually turns ten years old, I guess it bears repeating.
I secured the domain name of "CrazedFanboy.com" in mid-December 1999, before I even owned a computer. I knew nothing about building websites and very little about the internet itself. Heck, even email was a bit of a mystery.
Other than seeing a bit of WebTV with some close friends, my only "tutoring" up to that point had been by way of Steve Beasley and his brother Adam. They let me mess with their computers and surf the internet just long enough to get a feel for what all the fuss regarding computers and viewing websites was all about. For about two weeks, I surfed quite a bit, entering into the browser every URL I'd ever memorized from radio, TV shows, and magazines. I liked it a lot.
Then one magic day, Steve whipped up what in retrospect was likely an MS Word document, made up to look like a website homepage...with "Crazed Fanboy" at the top. NOW I got it! My vision started to coalesce. I used Adam's computer to purchase the domain Crazed Fanboy (the name came out of nowhere, really, I might've seen the term in a comics fanzine caption or something). All this was in November-December '99.
By February of 2000, I was on AOL with my own computer. The first "The World of Nolan, Friends and Family Homepage" debuted on or about February 15th, using the AOL web-building tool called Easy Designer. It was hosted on AOL Hometown that, sadly, is no longer in existence.
By March I started fooling around with the idea of an online magazine. I always loved fan magazines and thought it would be a natural progression to do a magazine-like website, but I never thought it would go any further than some crude experiments for a few weeks while I got the hang of it. Nolan's Newsstand was born right about March 19th (the date reverse-engineered from server timestamps of the day) with Mike Smith (The Rant) and Matt Drinnenberg (The Rail) already onboard. By issue number 16 we had become Nolan's Pop Culture Review. PCR (as it's known for short) became permanently hosted on Crazed Fanboy by 2003. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Of course, I didn't go the next ten years alone. The contributions of the wonderfully talented people who helped me build this website are housed in the Archives forever. To those who were there at the beginning (Mr. Smith), or near the beginning (Mssrs. Moriaty and Nuzum), and are still here today, I am especially indebted. ED Tucker, Lisa Scherer, Chris Woods, and Jason Fetters, the latter-day saints of Crazed Fanboy, have helped forge an even stronger homebase for you, the loyal reader, to continue your explorations of fandom and popular culture.
Chris Woods' weekly PCR Memorable Moments at top left of this section should help illustrate to new readers some of our best issues. For long-time readers, it'll be a re-visit to favorite stories. There's a lot of good stuff in there.
Thanks, everyone. Here's to the next ten years!
