This articles outlines the history of XfireSystems.com and Majin Planet.com. In order to outline and make it easy for those wondering about our past it has been broken down into "Generations" The reason for this is because I feel that at points with in my webmaster career I was able to not only go beyond what I did before, but each one was its own and had its own story to tell. I hope this is helpful in understanding my way of doing things, the events that led us today and what the future may hold.

Xfire2000.net
This basically was portal site that would load up my site XFIRE, I held this domain until 2001, after words I let it go as I no longer any use for the domain. No site was never under this name under my watch.
XfireSystems.com
In spring of 1999, I started a web site called XfireSystems. When I first started it, the basic idea was it a programming site. I was going to make my own custom scripts, mac and windows programs. However with in 2 weeks of development, my ideas changes, it soon came to the point that I couldn′t do what I wanted to do, so the idea of running a program site fell to the ground and fell hard. So I had to come up with some other idea as I had the domain and hosting for a month, after a month I could have cancel it at no lost to me. So the site started, I used lot of my old content and media from my other site called XFIRE which at the time was being hosted on Angelfire. *Please note that my site XFIRE is not the Xfire.com site you see today. There is no affiliation between them. Long with my old content I reopen my Dragonball Z Fan Site, this time with more content and a domain name.
Dragonball Millennium
The UnOfficial Dragonball Source, as I called it up until 2003. As you can think of it was your standard Dragonball Z site, information on whatever I could find, news, a gallery, the works. However it never took off. It did alright, some fans who where around back then may remember it but then they may remember another site called something like "Dragonball Z Millennium". The site along with another one of my new site projects called Gundam Unlimited, which open in 2000 and another site I was working on called Pokemon GS (which stood for Gold/Silver) created a small network called "The Xtreme Network".
Gundam Unlimited
Gundam Unlimited was my gundam fan site, it had little information, mostly Gundam Wing and G Gundam, while I had listing of episodes of the other series (up to the time) it for the most part was a ghost site. In a good month I believe the site got 100 visits, but I may be stretching even that. The reason for my lack of work on this site was due to a number of projects sites I was working on which for the most part where either up for a few weeks or never even started up.
Pokemon GS
Pokemon GS was my pokemon code site. It had no content on the series at all, the layout was frame base, there was a very small image gallery (done by hand) and a list of codes for Pokemon Gold and Silver along with codes for Red/Blue and Yellow. The one thing I am happy overall with this site was that it did help out some of my friend (who played Pokemon ont he GameBoy) and the fact I took the time to copy the guide for Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow. I′m talking full pictures that I hunted down, along with my own side notes and tips that I added to it. Its a shame that all that hard work was lost.
Wildcats Place
This site was more of a home page site then anything. Basically in 1999/2000 I made a site about my football team I was on in high school. It was overall very good site, other then some errors I made, which where normally fixed fast. Once the season ended the site would go dead, only a few visitors every other day. It picked up again in 2001 which was my last year in high school., when I updated it with information about the new team, and information. After high school. ended for me, that was for the most part the end of this site. I handed the site over to a friend of mine named "Big Mac" who was also on the team in my last year, however I had known him for a good 3 years. My overall plan was for the site to keep going, where the webmaster guy in the group would run the site and pass it on when he left. Well soon the company that own the domain name, (I forget the name of the company) switch from giving free domains out (with ads) to paid only. So my guess is as good as anyone else to what happen. My guess is Big Mac never pick up the domain name and it fell threw. The site was hosted on Geocities, and while up until 2004 the site was still open, it was never updated past to what I did. I lost track of Big Mac online and last I heard he had moved to another state. Yahoo! some time between 2004 and 2005 shut the site down.
Darkcat′s World/DCW Software
This was another GeoCities site I ran, and the last. While I still had hosting with my XfireSystems.com site, which as become more of what is now known as a blog site, I took my old content I had for Nightcat′s World and reopen it as Darkcat′s world, a short lived name I went by. After a week I change my mind and took a shot at a software site again. However at this time in 2001 Yahoo! had remove it FTP access to its free hosted sites. This basically ended this site. As my computer at the time was slow as it was and only being able to upload one file at a time was just to much. I left what I had on the site and went back to my other projects. I figure out the url again in early 2005, which at that time it was still there, which is very shocking. However as of 2006 the url no longer exist.
