The History of this Website

I grew up in the 80's, and therefore spent many many hours in front of the tv screen watching cartoons from that decade. I loved them then, and i love them even more now! Perhaps its the fact that they remind me of my wonderful childhood  - where everything seemed right with the world and the only worry i had was an occasional scraped knee. Whatever the reasoning behind it, i am still a huge fan of the shows and made a website to remind others of those once-great cartoons :)

I first started making webpages back in the summer of 1997 - just after i graduated from high school. The very first page i ever created was a site dedicated to Rainbow Brite (one of the first of its kind on the internet). From there i kept adding more 80's cartoons onto it and created the once-massive 80's cartoon archive called 80's Chica's 80's Cartoons Site.

At that time, i had no idea that the popularity of my site would increase so dramatically. By the time i was forced to take it down, it was averaging 12GB of traffic a month! And it was for that same reason that i was forced to take it down. I could no longer afford to pay the $100 extra a month i was getting charged for the excessive bandwidth use. But it was more than that too. The site had grown extensively and was really quite...well...messy! I was having trouble organizing it the way it needed to be and so it was easy to get lost within its boundaries. And so i decided to start anew - just like i did in the beginning - with my all-time favorite: Rainbow Brite! And that's how this page was born! :)

Here are some past layouts that i used for RainbowBrite.net:
