I first became a webmaster back in 2001 and that was when I first started creating my own websites. I remember my very first website was built on Geocities, and it was a fan site for a band I was a huge fan of.
Since 2004, I have been creating forums, so I have now been a webmaster for around 22 years.
How long have you been a webmaster?
For me, I started around 2001. I started with geocities myself, then learned HTML/CSS and built a much better looking site, then set up a forum for it using Invision Power Board around 2002 after having earlier versions of said forum on things like ProBoards. So pretty much a similar story. :) So for me? Maybe 25 years? :)
I started been a webmaster for 17 years now but do you know what baffled me the most? I have never own a website I have monetize and earn from,but obviously I own one forum which has about 730000 active participant but I never monetize it.
I also have four blogs which is on trend but I never monetize it or even earn from it this year am taking the bull by the horn all my blogs and forum most generate revenue lol
Around 1997ish.
I was about 13. I started using WebTV, which later became MSNTV. It was all dial-up back then…
I created a website with WebTV about tips and secrets of using WebTV.
It was about 1999ish when I made my first forum. phpBB1
Oh man … I am going to date myself, but 1996. I was working for a small software company and they tasked me with making and maintaining the company site. Wow, how much has changed (on the Internet or elsewhere) since then.
I started tinkering with MyBB more than 10 years ago…
I launched my first blog around 2012. I guess it counts as when I became a webmaster. I added a phpbb forum to it and it was awesome. I had a good time playing around with the themes and basic coding.
