>Ok, about a year or so ago this 12 year old boy (we'll

>Expage. Andy thought this was really cool and decided
>to begin his own Expage life... (for those who still
>haven't gotten it, this story is about me)
>So I decided to begin my own site, and my goal was to
>get more hits than my friend, who at the time had a
>little over 500. I made a site called TheBEAVER, and
>wrote a little story about a BEAVER and a hippy (eh,
>this was last year). Once I got to 100 hits TheBEAVER
>picked up pace a little. By now it was September, and
>I finally figured out how to make a link. Soon,
>TheBEAVER had a few links, and a fan club with over 30
>members. My site grew faster (I had a birthday), and
>I gained a lot a really nice friends on Expage. But
>if you have friends, you always have enemies. One day
>I found the Anti-BEAVER up, and I was PISSED. I got a
>bunch of people on my side, and one of my fellow
>Expage friends contacted Expage and the site was
>removed. Then TheBEAVER got it's 1,000th hit. Now I
>began to see people copying me. It started out small,
>same ideas, same layout. But it progressed, and no
>one ever listened to me if I asked them to stop. I
>wished there was a way to protect all of my ideas from
>those stupid copycats. I looked for awhile for a site
>that could help me, but I found nothing. So, last
>resort, I made a page with an easy remembered name
>that got my message through, The Page Police. My main
>goal was to protect any Expagers page and all of their
>ideas at the expense of one little link back. It was
>really nothing in the beginning, no layout at all.
>But Page Police seemed immediatly successful. Weeks
>past, and I soon got busy with school and bored with
>Page Police, so I didn't update it for a couple
>months. Now I'd say it must be April, although I
>don't really remember. But I read my guestbook, and
>there were actually people saying their sites were
>being copied! It was my first case. I had a few, 4
>or 5 probably, and every one ended peacfully with the
>owners happy. I'd joined Expage Alliance before, and
>that clique was my first ever. But after it shut
>down, I joined Expage Nation. I was the very first
>member to join EN. I thought it was really cool, but
>things got weird after awhile. Page Police seemed to
>be drawing more attention, and EN was talking about
>"hackings" and stuff. Then I had an idea, if I opened
>Page Police up to members like a clique, I would have
>a bunch of people to fight against bad sites! It was
>a success from the beginning. Though there were those
>who thought we'd never make it, there were more who
>didn't. We gathered a ton of members, some active and
>some not. But it didn't matter, Page Police could
>finally do what I always wanted it to.
>Then I went and worked on TheBEAVER for a little. Not
>too much, but I just kinda put a layout on. Now it
>was May.
>End of May, early June, I was planning on shutting
>TheBEAVER down because I never updated it because I
>was too busy with Page Police (now I had over 6,000
>hits). But, my friends convinced me to keep it open,
>so how could I let them down? Page Police kept
>getting larger and larger, until one day hacking
>became popular on Expage. I'd never even heard about
>hackings on Expage when I was just running TheBEAVER,
>but all of a sudden there was Demon Haunting. I was
>really scared, and when EN was "hacked" I feared even
>more for my sites. But, those good ole members of
>Page Police always got it done, and DH was gone. The
>FireSt0rm came, and we sorta got to where we are now.
>All of a sudden, I found my self spending my time
>trying to know every move of a "hacker" so other pages
>would be safe. A few copying cases would come, but I
>was still to motivated on hackers that I paid very
>little attention to most. And for the past 2-3
>months, I haven't had time to really have fun on
>Expage, or to work on TheBEAVER. But wait, why was
>the reason I made Page Police again? To protect
>TheBEAVER and other Expage sites. If I don't have
>time for TheBEAVER, why did I make this!?!? So this
>all comes down to the following; despite my new
>reputation on Expage (I pretty sure it's good) and the
>great support for Page Police, I believe that it is my
>time to step aside. I resign my title as Commanding
>General.
>
>However, I am a man of my word. A long time ago Timba
>told me something about how he didn't want Page Police
>to be shut down, and I told him "if I ever did have a
>reason to quit Page Police, I'd leave it to someone
>instead of shutting the whole thing down". And I plan
>to do just that. I would like to leave the entire
>Page Police site to someone. However, I do not know
>who would fulfill this job best. I don't even know if
>we'll survive now. You members seem to be in a Civil
>War between each other. If you guys and gals can't be
>friends and work together then we don't have a clique.
> I dunno...

>I really hate doing this. I've spent countless hours
>working on Page Police, but somewhere along the line I
>wandered from my goal (one goal I made was getting
>more hits than my friend! ha ha in your face
>you-know-who!). But, I would like this site to belong
>to someone else who can carry it for another go.
>According to the rankings, Alyssa would be entitled to

>I'd never force someone to run this thing. If Alyssa
>does not wish to have Page Police I will start a
>Commanding General Search, and possibly interview
>Captains to be C.G. I will keep my title until I am

>Well, that's my story (omg my fingers are sore!!).
>I'm sure this will draw some attention all around
>Expage, but that's cool. I just would like to be
>remembered as someone who was trying to help and make
>Expage a little bit better. I would just like you to
>know that my resignation has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO
>WITH ANY OF OUR MEMBERS. I made this decision awhile
>ago, I just had to decide when to announce it. Please
>continue to contact me; I usually don't wander far...
>Later
