Overview

Random Sonic Net, the webpage operated by Voice and QJimbo. This was an attempt of Voice's part to learn how to program websites in PHP and SQL. Since its opening on June 12th 2004, RSN has obtained over 3,000 hits, has added and destroyed site sections (like the radio page), hopped from 3 diffrent hosts, and has hosted 4 websites for sceners including Taxman, QJimbo and Vangar.

The radio section of RSN has been revived. Recordings of past broadcasts can be downloaded from the site.

The Short Yet Amazing History of RSN

Random Sonic Net was founded by voice on June 9th 2004, but was not available to the public until June 12th of the same year. It was started as an experimentation on voice's part with the ever popular PHP web scripting language, this would later include the SQL Query Language. The site ran on it's first host TheLight for about 4 months when bandwidth usage finally reached its 500mb/mo limit and voice had to move the site. Voice found QJimbo on SWS2B and eventually got hosted by QJimbo, which then lead to the merger of RSN and SRN(later renamed to SRZ). RSN spent many months on the Toson hosting untill offered free hosting from Mustapha on Digibase, where RSN is hosted to this day(shortly the site will be relocated).

As time went on, more sections to the site were added as voice learned new tricks in PHP, these additions include the very popular video archives, the shoutout box, and the lesser suggested reading page. All were created as voice learned PHP. As sections were being created, others were doomed to deletion, like the ill-fated music page and character bios page, both were canned due to lack of interest on voice's part and noticing that said pages would just be redundant. Another lesser part of the site was its skins, users can still decided on how to have the site look color-wise.

The site's first affiliate was Simon Wai's Sonic 2 Beta(SWS2B), after which followed the SSonicNetwork and SHIT. The sites first hostee was unoffically SRZ and offically RSonic, which is run by Taxman.

Where the hell did the name come from?!

The Random Sonic Net name came from a buddy of voice's on IRC. Voice was saying how he couldn't figure out a name for his site and went on to describe all the random stuff that would be on it. Jokingly Castor_Troy suggested RandomSonicNet, and the name has stuck to the site ever since.
