Disorientation was originally started as a small part of a "Favourite Bands" website that I created to try to get some sort of fansite out there for a bunch of different bands I enjoyed at the time. The site was of course hosted on geocties. It didn't last very long as a multi-band favourite site before focusing on just MGB

So in grade 9 (2000-2001), in computer class, I didn't know what I wanted to do for my next project, and I already knew a bit about HTML as well as had a small site to work with, so I decided to take the Matthew Good Band section off of the site I had, and make a site devoted to my all-time favourite band, rather than just top favourites of the time.

So I did just that. Which of course gave me more time to practice with what HTML could do.

Originally titled "MGBFan2002's MGB Fansite" from lack of ideas. Now that just didnt scream interesting at all to me so I decided to look through MGB related things for an idea for a name when I decided upon Disorientation, the August 1998 manifesto title, which was also the very first one I ever read. To make it seem a bit different I used sticky caps (DiSoRiEnTaTiOn) and the Bookshelf Symbol 1 font, which resulted in this:
I have since abandoned the sticky caps since they looked very childish, or first time website builder who knows little about graphics.

Disorientation was officially started on January 28, 2001. And has grown considerably since that time. Man has it ever come a long way too. It's had its ups and downs, many moves, but in the long run its been here for you, the fans. I know I don't always have it updated, but I try, and even without the new stuff on the site always it's still pretty comprehensive.
