In April 1994, with an upgrade from a 2600 to a 14.4/19.2 bps modem, I launched my first ever dial-in Bulletin Board Service (BBS), entitled "Starfleet Command BBS", using Searchlight BBS software. It took off rather quickly and became a popular destination for my small hometown's computing elite. A year on I changed its name to "SpaceLink BBS" to move it away from Star Trek and gave it a space-fairing theme. Unfortunately the BBS lasted only another full year, shuttered on its two-year anniversary in 1996. At that time, like everyone else, I decided to embrace something new and exciting called the World Wide Web. I received my first email address (afn42151@afn.org ), dabbled in Internet chat rooms, and built my first quaint little home page ("SpaceLink: To Boldly Go...") by September of that year.

With the seeds of Richasi's Domain planted in the creation and later migration from BBS to Internet, the second half of our story can be found within the creation of a few web pages dedicated to Star Trek collecting and with a service called GeoCities. With GeoCities' 3-megabite site limit, I was able to branch out, find a place to house my Star Trek creations - ("The Mego Page", "The Bandai Foreign Figures Page" and "The Playmates Figures Page") - which up to that time didn't have a home, and create a secondary "homepage" entitled "CyberWulf's Domain". Although similar to SpaceLink: To Boldly Go... in that it housed information about myself and some of the things I enjoyed, the GeoCities page was developed differently; having a different layout and different attitude.

A combination of the two sites on May 27, 1997 gave birth to what would eventually become what you see today: Richasi's Domain. Over the years Richasi's Domain has gone through a number of design paradigms - from iconic links to java drop down menus and from browser frames to image maps - and existed on four different servers - Strato.Net/Geocities (1996-Feb 1998), Drigon.com (Feb 1998 - 2001/2), Azlance.com (2001/2+) and we're a little less "fan" oriented (with the removal of Star Trek and Lion King-based pages) and more "personal" focused, but we're still alive and kicking.

Le Grand Chapiteau

Richasi's Le Grand Chapiteau is a Cirque du Soleil information archive created in 1999 to entertain and educate passers-by about Cirque du Soleil, an amazing avant-garde circus troupe from Quebec. It provides not only information on each and every one of Cirque du Soleil's creations through the years, it also has pictures, themes and reflections of these shows. Since 1984, Cirque du Soleil has showed us that life, death and dreams can and do collide in the most bizarre and eye catching ways.
