Announcements

Ingram, who guessed correctly that the site launched on July 28th, back in good ol’ 2008.  For those wondering about the extra credit question, that is what was the site’s name at the time, it was “Dan’s Online Adventures”, which is still visible in the post’s URL.

So congratulations Ingram, you win yourself a fresh new copy of the movie BattleStar Galactica – The Plan on Blu Ray!

When I launched Folaji.com, I began by posting the post you see below.

At that time, the site was using WordPress’ default theme (with a big red banner on the top) and had no content what so ever.  The next day, I began adding what was then the Folaji Story, which has since morphed into the Rise of the X Syndicate, an adventure set in the World of Warcraft with about a dozen chapters.

That was two years ago, and since then much has happened on the site.  New stories were posted, and a few D&D adventures were incorporated into the site.  And now, to celebrate the site’s anniversary, I’m thinking we should have a contest.

So, can you guess the exact date and time Folaji.com launched?  I’m looking for the complete date (day, month, year and time).  And to make things interesting, the person to reply in the comments with the closest date and time without going over will win a prize (kind of like The Price Is Right, but with a date…!).

I’ll give you guys two weeks to reply, which means that contest entries will be accepted up to 11h59 pm on Fiday, July 23rd.

Good luck!

(HINT: It happened after July 23rd!)

UPDATE: If you do not want to post your answer in the comments section, you can send your guess by email at contest (at) folaji (dot) com.

Original post:

Let me start by putting this straight out there: I suffer from being white and nerdy.  Maybe not to the extreme of the Weird Al Parody, but then again I am writing on an ergonomic keyboard, and I am fluent in Javascript (although not Klingon).

Needless to say I’m a gamer, and have been known to spend my nights fighting off Zergling rushes, running from a graveyard back into far away dungeons after a nasty group wipe, and even patiently clicking away, trying to comfort myself by repeating the ever so famous “just one more turn…” over and over again.

I also suffer from a crazy and sometimes hectic imagination, which I have decided to quite litteraly dump onto this website in the form of adventures.  Hope you enjoy!
