About Chirp!/History >>

Chirp! was created on October 5th, 2001, which means that I've been running this thing since I was a silly little fourteen-year-old. First I thought about creating some kind of Piyomon support group, but decided to make a fansite instead because I was so freakishly obsessed with making fansites back then. I swear I had like a MILLION. Anyway, I named the site Chirp! because of obvious reasons; 'piyopiyo' is the sound of chirping in Japanese, and it symbolizes Piyomon's chirpy and bird-like personality.

The site was first hosted at Eccentrix.com. When I got my first domain, Kuragari.net, it moved there, and then to my second domain, Meaningless.org. The site was alive and kicking for over three years - then, in the beginning of 2005, Meaningless.org's host decided to eat all my hard work alive. Chirp! and all my other websites DIED. This historical event is known as The Great Hostyard Website Massacre. Be afraid, be very afraid.

After months of being Chirp!-less, I got a sudden kick of inspiration and decided to bring it back, this time hosted at the very reliable Start.no, at least I THOUGHT it was reliable. Realizing that the only way to get a swell host is to pay for it, I bought a new domain, Swellpage.com, and moved Chirp! there.

The creator and maintainer of this website is me, Ingrid a.k.a Ridi. I've been an extremely loyal fan of Digimon since what, 2000? Before it came out in my home country anyway. Besides Piyomon and her evolutions, my favorite Digimon characters are Koshiro (don't question my spelling, this is correct too!), Sora, Tentomon, Gazimon, Etemon and Pinocchimon. So far Digimon Adventure is the only Digimon series I'm a fan of, but to make up for it, I'm a really really REALLY huge fan.

Other Digimon I'm a fan of include Pagumon, Piemon, Deramon, Floramon, Raremon, Palmon, and Gomamon.
