Finally... the history behind one of the most well-known Korn pages on the internet.



T.K.F.tv So ya wanna know the story behind [thekornfield] huh? How old it is, Why it got started, Who started it, What it started out as and all that shit. Well here it is...
[thekornfield] was started out as a little insignificant peice of webspace that no one knew about. It was originally called "The Muddy Trenches of the UNDERWORLD", it was created probably... I'd say... December 5th 1994. This guy I know [Jason Evangolinos ICQ-822489] me up with a geocities page since I knew absolutly nothing about the internet. It was my first webpage ever and man did it ever fukking suck ass!! I mean... WHOA, it was bad! It was a page about Beavis and Butthead, Manson, Nirvana, Hot Chicks, and a little section of Korn. Just stupid crak like that. As the page progressed, and my HTML skills improved it started looking Jason tought me little HTML shit here and there... he knew more then I did originally. and when he'd learn something kool he'd show me and I'd be all amazed. Kinda like when Munky and Head were kids fukking around on the guitar. Jay had his own movie review page. It sukked, and even though my page sucked too... mine was always better then his:)

00101 Jonathan Mettes of Jonathan's Korn Page helped me out alot with all my little problems I had.
He was always there when I needed help with something, weather it be an HTML code or information
or whatever, he was always willing to help me out. And since I never used HTML programs
like 'Front Page Express' and that kinda shit, I always needed help:) I always kinda looked
upto him [and his webpage] he always had the latest news, the neated layout and the best downloads
Jonathan was always a great guy to me, he basically got [thekornfield] up on it's feet
I don't even think he know's how much he's helped me out. But he has and I an very thankful!!
Another person who I was good friends with was Steve Johnson [now with the korn network]
He used to own this page called 'The Korn Page', some of you real korn fans minght
remember it... it was up before 'Follow the Leader' ever came out so all you new fans
you wouldn't know what I'm talking about. Anyways, he had a great page too
lot's of info any shit. Then without warning, he shut it down... and like a year later,
him and some other people came back with "the korn network" and blew all of us away
with it's awesomeness. I still talk to the guy, I send him bootleg info once in a while.

One of the semi-kool looking ones
Some other banner I got mad for me
My first banner I ever got
My fvorite out of all these...
Jason's old webpage
On the left are some banners of my old webpage. I didn't know shit about making graphiks so I went to all these free banner making companies to make banners for me. So I've got a shit load or them on my computer and I uploaded some onto this page. I used to be with Link Exchange, that's why I needed all these freakin' banners. When I learnt how to make my own graphics I didn't need to use thoes gay-ass 'Free Banners' places. The one at the bottom, called 'Risket and Herbert...' or whatever the fukk it's called. It's Jason's old movie review webpage. Hahaha, told you it sukked. Just judging by the banner you can tell the pages sucked!! Hahaha, come to think of it the banners I had for my page weren't too much better either:) Anyways, there's the banners have fun laughing at them.

I has been offered many deals in the past, most of which are turned down.
Mainly simply because it's too much hastle, I'm just a lazy ass and don't wanna
have to work more then I have to:) And partly because some deals require me spending
my money, which I have hardly any of. Here are some samples of the types of offers I get
...join forces with other Korn pages and make one big giant kick ass page
...it's own domain name, I would really like that, but I have no money to buy one
...buy this product [webpage related] and we will give you a discount
Holy fukk, I've been offered so many deal's it's not funny, I just turn'em down
Well most of them anyways... UBL has been pretty nice to me. I always take them up
on their offers. But all the others I usually don't, I work alone... this is my page.
When I get money I'll get my own domain name. I just can't afford one right now



001 TKF - FAQ
__________

  • What graphic editor do you use to made thoes
    graphics on your page?

    001-Skunk

  • I use Paint Shop Pro v4, I used to have PSPv5 but
    it was only the trial version and it expired so I've
    only got v4 now. It's a shame because v4 is so limited
    in what effects it can produce, and v5 is much much better.

  • Where did you come up with the name [thekornfield]
    and what's with the square brackets?

    001-Dabberman

  • I just thought of all these kool ass names for a korn
    page and in the end [thekornfield] was what I used.
    It was originaly and when I saw it written down, I
    knew that's what I wanted it to be called.
    As for the square brackets... when [thekornfield]
    started out way back when there were hardly any korn
    webpages online. So I just used plain old 'The Korn Field'
    Then people started stealing my name, so I changed it to
    thekornfield, and people started stealing the 'linking all
    the words together'
    idea, so I changed it more, to
    ...thekornfield..., and finally to [thekornfield]
    So far I haven't seen any pages with square brackets in
    thier name so I hope to keep this one

  • What suggestions do you have for someone with a Korn
    page with a pretty original layout and content, who wants
    it to become well know like [thekornfield]?

    001-Adam - kxoxrxn093@aol.com

  • All I've gotta say is work on the apperance!!!
    Make kikk ass graphiks, get rid of everything that
    gay, don't have stupid webrings in the middle of
    your main page and krap. Once you have a page
    that looks kool, THEN work on the kontent. Get original
    news, and different sektions to your page. Like this one
    how many Korn pages to you see with a biography about
    the page?!? And once you have a good looking page
    with original/different stuff just watch the hits roll in.
    It's takes time alot time and dedikation, you'll get it if
    your dedikated enough. Oh and make sure you have none
    of that fancy shmance Java shit.. god I fukking hate that krap

  • How long do you expect to run [the kornfield]?
    001-AT - kornster31@hotmail.com

  • As long as humanly possible to be honest with ya.
    I'm going away to kollege next year so I don't know
    what the fukk's gonna happen to [thekornfield] then.
    We'll see when the time komes I guess.
    But if it was upto me I'd keep it runing forever.
    I love it, I love working on it, and being able to have
    such a direkt konnektion to the fans out there. It's great!
    Probably one of the best experiances in my life.
    But I'd say TKF will probably klose or seice to be updated
    around 2003/2004, bekause then I'll probably be married
    or something by then. But who know.... only time will tell.
