About 76moocow - FAQ

--How old is 76moocow?

Much older than many would expect. 76moocow first laid foot on the intarwebs in January 2001. The Forum was brought to life on another server some two years later.


--Why did you create it?

Okay, well first - I was only 11 at the time. I hope none of you stumble across an archived version of the original Moocow because, as you can probably guess, it was ugly as sin. In short, I got hooked on the whole web thing. As the site's popularity began to scale, I began updating more and more - admittedly taking year-long breaks from time-to-time - until the revenue started to pour in. I would be a starving undergrad if it weren't for this beauty, let's put it that way.


--What's with the name?

I concede, the name isn't something I'd show off on a first date. That said, I love it to bits. It's quirky, embarassing and 100% original. And hey, it keeps you guys coming back - so I can't complain! Why 76moocow? As I mentioned earlier, I was only 11 when I first put this thing together. Being, well, 11 - I didn't anticipate the thing to go as gangbaster as it has..andd basically decided on the most nonsensical name I could think of. And there you have it! From the depths of my 11-year-old brain, 76moocow..baby!


--Why do you take forever to update this place?

I'll get back to you on that one.


--Who are you?

Alex Mac. 21, from Australia. I'm a student at the Australian National University in Canberra (and no, I don't study IT). I've spent significant time abroad in the United States and Japan. I speak Japanese and Chinese.
