The issues with imagelinkusa.net might mark the end of Lunatic Haven....

Lunatic Haven was born as a BBS in 1987, and it ran until 1997. It was resurrected in 2001, when I was looking to have more permanent email addresses. And, decided the solution was to have my own domain name.

In looking at how to do this, I came upon a web hosting provider. And, set up the email addresses and forwarders to fit my needs. I was also using free web hosting, and decided to move that over as well.

Over time, the web part expanded and contracted depending on my mood. But, the email remained the constant. After a couple of years, I jumped to imagelinkusa.net....because of reliability issues and problems with email.

With imagelinkusa.net, my online usage grew....since I had much more storage, I could set up more pages to share the pictures I take.

Later I wanted another email domain, which then grew into this site.

So, once again it comes down to email as the main reason to have a domain name....so as I look to where I might go next, I may opt to go email only in the next. Though it is hard to completely walk away from the website. Perhaps I'll come up with a redesign of my site....
