“www.Pokgai.WordPress.com” was started November 2. 2006 under a completely different principle than it follows today. If you are interested in finding out more about the site which brings you the “Running in the 90’s” series and other great videos, then feel free to read the following post though it’s probably really boring.

Pokgai – jMS Legend (November 06 – April 07)
Originally it was meant to serve as as a refugee since I was wrongfully banned from a forum (www.Sleepywood.net) for a computer game I used to play called MapleStory. (refer: Link 1 , Link 2 ). Don’t ask me how I originally decided to start this blog, but I needed a place to act as hub to promote my at the time, MapleStory related YouTube videos. I thought it was pretty hopeless at first and I would never get above 100 hits. However, thanks to my already developed fan base on my YouTube channel, RaymondPokgai, I was able to attract enough visitors to keep me motivated to keep this site running.
* RaymondPokgai, the YouTube channel is no longer active due to legal disbutes with Viacom. The channel had around 500 subscribers before being shut down. RaymondPokgai is now suceeded by PokgaiWordPress.
Over time, the fan base for Pokgai grew and more and more people knew of this blog. Eventually averaging over 2500 unique hits/day. However, eventually I has to quit MapleStory due to personal reasons and I thought it was the end for this blog. (Refer: Confession , Intended Final Post)
Tidbit: The 2 above links produced 19,000 hits in 2 days, it was bandwidth chaos.

RetroRadical – Running in the 90’s (July 07 – Present)
Once a site visited by many, it has shifted back it’s original role as just a mere hub for my YouTube channel. I like to use this site as a place to organize my thoughts and gather feedback from subscribers. Since January 08, I’ve been trying to update once a day, so visitors would have something to visit for everyday.
**Daily Radical Updates: Something worth checking out everyday! From video games sports, music, and politics, to weird stuff he finds on the internet. See what Raymond finds “radical” every freaking day of the week!
To learn more about my videos, please check the “YouTube Channel” tab.

I just can’t see myself playing another online game, especially one that is as grind oriented as gMS. Plus with my rekindle love with console games and new interested with this new project, I simply could not balance all three plus with grade 12 coming up.

A little thing I noticed. At the side of you’re site, under DAILY R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Updates, the last sentence says “Every freaking day of week”, instead of “Every freaking day of THE week”.

Thanks for noticing that, time to fix it.
