I was just wondering who actually started Bellazon? And since when ? I see members that registered in 2004 so this forum must be very old then

I joined in 2008 and what I know about BZ is that it wasn't Bellazon at first and the admins

transfered members from the old forum to here (From what I observed in some old threads here )

As far as I know we all came here when ChilaX closed. But I don't know who started BZ. I registered on ChilaX a year or so before it shut down, probably in 2002 or 2003. But I can't remember anymore what the background story to the closing of ChilaX was ... :trout:

Don't know who started it but doesn't maddog own it? Did he purchase from someone else?

Most of the original BZ members (including yours truly) came from another forum called ChilaX (after that forum was shut down).

This forum was created as a new "home" for the former members of ChilaX.

As far as I recall, the two founding members were Solo and Neo52285.

Of course, in terms of number of users, BZ grew to become much bigger than ChilaX had ever been.

Interesting... I didn't know that. Is this forum hosted in the US?

^ Yes

I still miss Neo after so many years.
