The History of PsychoNoble Part 3 - The First Five Years
2003-2009

Friday, November 19th, 2004 marked the beginning of PsychoNoble.com. The shift from freepage to .com was complete. Changes were not immediately apparent, but the status quo did not last long.

Articles and Events grew into important cornerstones of PsychoNoble.  Over the first five years of PsychoNoble.com, over 100 new articles appeared, eventually becoming the main focus of the website.  More Events grew out of FSW and Nerf Wars creating new ongoing and one-time features.

No wonder we didn't get those PS3's

PsychoNoble also began testing the water with things like the Crazygame.exe contest, which proved to be successful.  This addicting little game somehow brought in numerous entrants.  In fact, people came to believe that PsychoNoble actually created the game.  But the best thing to come out of the contest was the creator contacting PsychoNoble, finally reveals the origins of the game.  Due to the rigorous amount of work it took to update the high score list and the eventual drop in attention, the contest faded away.

Thanks to one PsychoNoble Summit, and an incredibly stupid conversation overheard about Krispy Kreme doughnuts, the Films section came into being.  One might look back at the first film and wonder why it was even put on the site.  One might ask if such a thing is even worthy of being filmed.  One might think is it a piece of trash... or perhaps... genius?  Either way, Krispy Kreme paved the way for multiple new films such as Action Blocks and the politically topical Obama and Co. Sex and Drug Party.

PsychoNoble Films would not have been possible without this moment

Along with a real website came real website problems.  With actual internet exposure, PsychoNoble came under attack by a wretched virus that implanted infected code throughout the website.  This code filtered in through the Message Boards, wreaking havoc on everything in its path.  Humorously enough, IXWebhosting refused to take responsibility for a weakness in their security, even though the only infected sites were hosted by them.  Weeks of questions and complaints led only to more and more denial.  The next month they upgraded their security features.

Greater exposure also brought about a few strange fans.  Due to the popularity of A Pathetic Tribute to Doug Funnie, a certain Doug fanatic began communicating with Jaybird via AIM, sending him pictures of himself dressed as Doug.  Then there was the girl from California who started sending suggestive emails to Jaybird, but can you really blame her, I mean, he is pretty much the hottest guy around.

The first piece of merchandise

PsychoNoble continued on, going through many ups and downs, until early 2008.  It was then that PsychoNoble decided to go on leave, recharge their batteries, and reevaluate the website.  For months and months PsychoNoble.com laid dormant, but behind the scenes great changes were afoot.  The website had lost focus and the creators were hoping to reinvigorate the site with a new content oriented design.

On 08/08/08, it happened, the Olympic Games!  Oh, and the PsychoNoble Relaunch.  PsychoNoble.com began a new era, with a new look, and a greater focus on ongoing articles.  Many features were simplified down into a single category, while others were done away with completely, all in an attempt to make PsychoNoble accessible and streamlined.

That brings us to today. Hopefully you enjoyed this look behind the scenes at the history of this site. We thank everyone who has been with us since the beginning and others who have joined along the way.  We hope that you will be with us for the next five years and beyond.
