It was 9 year's today - May 19th 1999 - that I (Forrest - TubeBear profile) opened the my 1st Bear news site. At the time it was BearPress (does anyone remember...?). I worked on that beast for 2 years full time with nearly no pay.

Then in 2000, I opened bear-pics... because I decided to focus more on galleries than on the news, however I focused pretty much on both. I needed money, like everyone else on this green Earth, so that's why I decided to change the name. I took pics of some of the cutest guys ever for the next few years.

Then in 2006, I met Nikola (AdminBear - TubeBear profile) - and he made PlanetBears which is an incredible website. My sites were all html - his sites are all dynamic. In 2007, we opened TubeBear - and I forgot to mention - TubeBear turned 1 year on April 26th. I guess the reason I didn't mention that in the news is because my mind has always been fixed on May 19th. I've worked on a lot of sites in the past 9 years... however TubeBear's bday is important too.

Wow... 9 years (I say 'wow' every time May 19th comes around). I'm in my 10th year sitting in front of a computer all day, jerking my dick as I look at pics of good looking men. What a life...

Actually, I have been wanting to add all the archives I have online... but it's so much work... like adding current news... but I'll keep an eye out in my archive section and check out to see if there's anything word adding, like pics I've posted in the past but did not transplant them over to PlanetBears.
