On May 11, I had been watching Gundam Wing for awhile and of course this is the day I came up with the idea of the DoD! *ooooooh! awwwww!* My sister (Wing) of course thought I was crazy to want to make a shrine to braid boy! But do I care? No! So then, I started planning what this site was going to look like. Being a DBZ/Trunks fan I went to my favorite Trunks site the Temple O' Trunks! Well I personally thought it would be cool if I had a humor section to my site so that's how that section came to be.
May 12, 2000 5:00p.m. (somewhere around there!) - I started on the main page on the DoD! Wee! Now imagine if you will the design of my SailorMoon page with a sky blue background not to mention to replace the my SM page logo with this! Scary eh? I was beginning the page what do you expect? Well anyway... I finished the main page in about an hour since I was still debating with my mind on what logo should look like. I made the page in about five or six hours, only because I didn't put that much effort into it.
May 13, 2000 5:26p.m. AKA: The Official B-Day of the DoD! - This is the day I put it all up on vauss.com! I know most of you would have guessed that!
On May 13, 2001, the DoD celebrated its first birthday. Shortly afterward, my computer crashed, leaving me unable to do any updates. I worked as hard as I could on my sister's computer to work on a new DoD look, but then I was harassed for more updates. That's when the DoD came down in June 2001. My sister wrote this letter about how we felt about the morons who kept yelling at me for updates.
The DoD reopened on August 27, 2001, with a new look designed by my sister, Kala Mekiv.
The DoD celebrated its second birthday on May 13, 2002, with a nice layout based on one of the images I drew.
