1999, the
year where our clickteam really started to get going with its own website,
where the click cafe was still going strong and the year where community
site the ap-zone said goodbye and the very first daily click version said
hello...
Clickteam.com?
The
makers of klik&play and all of its related products made there official
website in end of 1998/ beginning of 1999.
It was a nice website updated by: Jeff. Clickteam also got its very own
forum and many people started to visit it because now that silky's was
gone there was not a "real official online" gathering place except for
the oamu wall. The picture on your left is the
clickteam forum back in 1999. The oamu wall was basically a copy from silky's
wall when silky's site went down. The wall now maintained by
Christian from oamu.com still had
some visitors.
* IMSI who was now publishing Multi Media fusion
dropped the product. Clickteam was now looking for a new publisher and
was thinking to let europress take over. Eventually they decided to just
publish and sell it themselves.
Community Site: The Click Cafe (2nd year)
The
click cafe was also becoming really
popular. It had many sections like featured download
and featured member and a gallery section, there where also special sections
for Dark Basic users and Jamagic Users. On your left you see how the site
used to look like. Because the site was automated it allowed people to
see there downloads quicker and the site gained popularity because of it.
Another community site called the ap-zone who did not have an automated
feature suffered because of this and its visitors rate was dropping....
Goodbye Ap-zone
When
the ap-zone
closed this was the last msg
Rikus wrote on january 24 1999: Dear visitors of the ap-zone,
after 5 years of being online i have decided to close down this site. Its
been a joy working on it but there is a time for everything, and i think
its best for everyone that i close it down now. Thank you for visiting
this site and i will keep it online so you can look around in the archives.
New Community site: Daily Click (v0.1)
After the ap-zone Rikus found
out that even with the ap-zone he still had an urge to create a new site
and help improve the click community. The very first daily click was born...The
very first daily click was basically a static html site that was updated
with news, reviews and articles and some of the ideas used in that first
version would form the basis for the second database driven version.
In other News...

Pete

was an unrecognized klik god. Home of Brafud
the Brave. As you can see on the picture to your
left the site had a nice design. You can also click on the picture for
a larger view.
* Another site that was also released in 1999 was
Klik Country. Like Pete's TGF zone it also
had lots of content, news, and it even had a joke page. On the picture
below you see how it looked and if you click on it you can see a bigger
view of it. |
