About
A couple of years ago, I had a bunch of small websites that I had created, and I wanted a central location as a hub to link all the small sites together. My nickname was (and still is) DennisTT, and I appended “.Net” to it for the domain and also as an abbreviation for Network (a network of my sites).
However, I’ve never actually had all of my small sites uploaded to DennisTT.Net, and now it has turned into more of a blog and discussion area and just a place for me to post anything that I come across.
Over the past few years I have created and used various layouts on DennisTT.Net. Here’s an archive on the ones that I still have.
- Version 1 – a black/yellow theme
- Version 2.1 – a green/white theme
- Version 2.5 – a grey/orange theme
- Version 3 – a blue/orange/grey theme
- Version 3.1 (current; modified K2 theme for WordPress) – a blue/orange theme
- Version 3.3 (next; modified K2 theme for WordPress) – a blue/orange/black theme
On the Web
My forum experience started with vBulletin 2 and 3 at a community called World of Tibia. I soon became a moderator in July of 2001. I continued on and gained the status of super moderator in 2004, and then administrator in 2005. I have also been an administrator at the Exalted Hosting (before they changed to Global DC and reset their forums).
Soon after, in 2001/2002, I wanted to create my own community. I tried out Ikonboard, YaBB, both of which were Perl scripts, since the free hosts did not generally support PHP/MySQL.
I soon found a host with PHP/MySQL in late 2002 and I began learning PHP/MySQL. My site’s forum was powered by phpBB, however I also tried IPB.
In 2004, I found MyBB, which had a feature-set I liked, and I modified it (was then RC3) to work with one of the websites I had created at that time, Atarica. Soon I started to use MyBB for my site’s forum, and started to be active on the MyBB Community Forums. In early 2005, I was part of the beta testing team for PR2, and in June I was recruited as a developer and support team member.
I thank Chris Boulton, head MyBB developer and project manager, for generously hosting my site.

I am a so-called “transit enthusiast.” Buses and trains have interested me since I was young. I have a collection of photos of transit around the Vancouver, B.C. area on my Flickr account.
