About 76moocow - FAQ

--How old is 76moocow?

Perhaps quite a lot older than you might expect. 76moocow first set foot upon the 'intarwebz' in January 2001. The 76moocow Forum was brought to life on another server roughly two years later.


--Why did you create it?

At the time, I was keen to discover and familiarise myself with this (to me) exciting new frontier. The most effective means of doing this, I decided, would involve establishing my own immaterial spot on the Internet. Being a 'noob', my knowledge of coding and web design was next to nothing. Needless to say, the first edition of 76moocow was not much in the way of looks.


--Has 76moocow always been dedicated to Flash Games?

Not entirely. Relatively speaking - until just recently, 76moocow's Flash content went hand-in-hand with other less popular sections such as, Review and Film. As the years ensued and demand for more and more Flash Games soared, I began to consolidate and further compress these sections until eventually, basically due to lack of appeal, I decided to remove them.


--What's with the name?

Undoubtedly by far the most frequently asked 'Moocow' question. When first prompted to fill in the gap in-between www. and .com, understand - I did not believe for a second that what was about to be created would explode into what it is today. Put simply, from what I recall, I was determined to conjure up the least conventional, most bizarre and nonsensical title possible. Why? Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't recall what it was that prompted such a thing; in any case, the name's been a total hit -- I don't regret a thing about it.


--Who are you?

My name's Alex; I'm an Aussie. I currently live in Fukuoka, Japan. I'll be attending the University of Sydney in 2010.
