What does bbzzdd stand for?
Nothing. The story: dwell has a friend, Ernie, who used to walk around saying, "bay-bee," in a really annoying voice. To really annoy people turned it into "bee-bee." When that lost its annoying edge he went to, "bee-bee-zee-zee." You see where this is going, right? Anyway, Dwell registered the domain, bbzzdd.com, as a laugh. Being he had it laying around he used it for the pics site. The rest is history, "bee-bee."

"Who's idea was this? Who coded this site?
The idea came from the Anandtech forums. Mookow takes credit for the idea. Sully coded the original site and everything you see here today you can thank him for because it is all based on his great work. Dwell was bored one day and coded version 2.0, up until version 2.95, after that DannyBoy and notfred put in a joint effort to code version 2.99. "

Exactly. It is ATOT's Official pic hosting website.

Of course, for a more broad range of linking visit: http://pics.apartment808.com

or if you like browsing non-sensical japanese anime pictures...

One of these days I'll reset the top 25.

Mad props to Modeps who currently hosts pics.bbzzdd.com FOR FREE, dedicated servers and bandwidth are not cheap.

Rossman's like Jesus except he saves websites, not people. And I don't think he has a beard. Oh, and he's not the son of God. Besides that, he's exactly like Jesus.

Yeah, Rossman is to consumer electronics what Jesus was to fish and bread.

now whenever i talk to him in vent I tend to forget all that he represents in ATOT.

Hyperblaze,

I received your PM but cannot reply, so I'll just reply here.

I own Neffing.com and the pic hosting is offline indefinitely. There are 20 other pichost providers to choose from so it wasn't worth the hassle. Eventually I'll get around to updating the /pics/ directory stating pichosting is gone and suggesting alternatives.

Tom - shut da fack up! :p

I never was that crazy about pics.bbzzdd.com (sorry no offense dwell) but after seeing the new and improved bbzzdd I love it. If DannyBoy or dwell could make it easy for n00bs like myself to install on our own domains that would rock my socks!
