1st Question(s)!
How long has Revillution been around?




Thanks for being a part of Forum Promotion!
 
I like your tag line "Your Portal to Entertainment". How long have you had that and was it easy to come up with?
 
First off, thanks for the opportunity! I'll answer as many questions as I can. 🙂

1st Question: How long has Revillution been around?
Answer: Since July 26th, 2009!

2nd Question: I like your tag line "Your Portal to Entertainment". How long have you had that and was it easy to come up with?
Answer: When we first set up Revillution, it was a site we wanted to focus around gaming & entertainment topics (this is still very much it's focus) and we used the VBAdvanced portal system on vBulletin 3.8 to accomplish a true "Portal" feel, so the slogan "Your Portal to Entertainment" just sort of clicked well. Today, we have a big focus on content creation and bringing streamers & youtubers together and showcasing their content, so the idea of a "Portal to Entertainment" fits even more nicely now, 13 years on. 🙂
 
Who designed your cool logo?
Most of our graphics were designed by Sarah/Kik, This would've been "Version 2" of our stuff because when Sarah designed the iconic logo and other assets, we were on ZetaBoards and she even designed a custom theme for us, unfortunately ZB closed, but we're happy on Xenforo now 🙂
 
With these questions answered - Why did you delete the first database?
We ran into an issue when we were converting away from vBulletin if memory serves me correctly, unfortunately I had just gotten a new PC around the time and didn't have a backup to revert back to, I realized this too late and after running into a handful of issues post-conversion, we decided to scrap it. We moved to ZetaBoards after this so that we wouldn't have to mess with stuff on the backend and money at the time was a little tight, long story short, ZB closed, so we lost all of that data too, then in 2019 we brought it back on the site you see today. The only regret we have is during this time we lost rights to the .com.
 
What keeps you going, day by day, with the overall management of Revillution?
It's always something i've been proud of, and now with more and more content creators signing up and using the site, it makes me want to keep going with it to try to help others as much as I can. 🙂 I have some ideas i'd like to accomplish in 2022, but we'll see if that's in the cards or not.
