History
Back in August 2002 (possibly July), I saw a picture in a magazine. 'Wow,' I thought. 'There's something special about them.' So I went on their website, then later bought their album and singles and loved them straight away. So I decided to show my support. This site started on Freewebs, it later moved to loserkid.org when my friend Becci offered to host me at her site.
The site became increasingly popular, so I decided to get bustedonline.org for Christmas 2003. However, I was an idiot and decided to get the domain separate from the hosting. So I spent ages trying to get 1+1 to change the nameservers, and I finally got the domain properly up on February 15th 2004.
Since the Busted split, the site has become more popular than ever, with 1000-2000 visitors every day. The success has been overwhelming at times - I've had mentions in the Daily Star (which they can die for), Megastar.co.uk, two on Popjustice.co.uk, and a mention on the Dan and Jem's CMP Radio.
Thank you to everyone who has visited the site, I've had a brilliant time running it, and I expect I will continue to for a very long time.
