This was when I learned about free web hosting. The place... Geocities. Of course that was before the new Yahoo had bought them out and then made the Yahoo Page Builder. I used GeoBuilder to start this site then used Page Builder to finish. I learned some HTML and some Javascript and Java along the way. This site at the time, I was very proud of. However, I never did put enough time into it. SO it too died, but not without many hits (2000+).

(*NOTE: DBZ site was started after dropping TF and while doing new TF site I continued on DBZ site)

When I put this site online, I found out there was not only a TF Xtreme but a TF Central as well, so TF Zone was born. I redid the graphics as soon as I learned how to use the programs Enforcer had used. He used the old Adobe Imagestyler which in today's day is Adobe Photoshop. This was the turning point in my graphics. Now I wouldn't use Paint, but Adobe.

This site was an attempt to rebuild the old TF Zone as well as incorporate new ideas. However my inability to submit to change has caused this site to die before it even began. SO I had dropped the TF sites for good.

I had become bored with my DBZ site around the time I got bored with TF almost two years prior. So this was about the time I had gotten back into TF and gotten involved in two forums which are listed below. The time for a site was at hand. Phase 1 of the Empire saga. I had just made this to toy with Geocities again and to see if the TF site was even worth restoring. I had figured this to be a test of sorts to get the old gears a rolling. Here I included not only my newly created forum but that of those I had typed at as well. Among them were AutoconEmpire.com and TFN. I also had a section for my sigs and other files. Other than that the sites below evolved from this and the previous sites.

Welcome to Predacon Empire. The latest installment of my TF Site series. This site has been rebuilt many times as well as renamed.  None were successful. However, the original page Maximal Central was.  This site will slowly become another great TF site as the others in the past have. I have many new features and old of my sites and those of TF sites now in the big factory in the sky.

Here is the revised edition of the site above. It includes new graphics, color scheme and a slightly different design. The idea for a new color scheme and design came from the Talkback threads I had designed and was showcasing for the TFN and Cybertron Archive audiences. I decided to do the entire site in that format.

Here you can see the new design, logos and the faster load time. I decided with the new year there should be a new layout so here you go. New graphics, color scheme and a slightly different design. This is where I left the site. With almost no sign of returning to my greatest creation, the site lied derelict. I moved and then got a 3rd shift job and had no time to mess with my site.

This version merely had newer links, some new contents added and a few differences. I had also added some new content such as a link to my new topsite and RPG I had tried out.

This version included an all new logo, a new index page and the next step was a real forum. I shut down the ProBoards one and set out to rebuild the forum. I finished any and all reformatting and began adding new media. Such as the BW game, avatars and some new links. I continued using this worn layout until the beginning of 2006.

The site has gained much popularity and many new members to the forum and site as a whole. I also had strengthened my connections within the TF world. I have gained support from a great many people. The most came from TCA. TCA is the new partner of Predacon Empire and will be the home to some of the content featured on this site. For this time around, the Empire and TCA are sharing content and in this we are strengthening both sites. Anyways with the new year there is a new site with close to all content available for your viewing. I have also removed any and all dead links from the sections. And with this new version I have rebuilt it from the ground up. Using the old site and a few of my older ones for inspiration. Anyways the forum will also go through a reformatting. It will be called The NEXUS instead of Dark Designs. Anyways all in all the site has become what I had always hoped it would be. Thanks for all the support everyone who has helped and even everyone who has just visited. And I hope everyone continues to come back for more. And this is where you see it today...

The previous version was apart of a short lived idea between two sites. After thinking about how to give the TF community more content and ease of updates on my end, I went with the MKPortal software that TCA also used. This round allowed myself to gain a great amount of content. We had: 3436 Images, 120 downloads, TF Quake, BW Game, Fan Dubs of BWII, NEO, RM, and Headmasters. The site after a short time started to show strain due to the host I was using. Now it became very noticeably in December. I decided change was in order.
