So, you wanna know the back story of how Giselefan came this far? Well you've come to the right place! Giselefan.org, then known as Gisele Unlimited, started to come together during June & July of 2004 after not being able to find a site dedicated to gisele that wasn't just a picture site, but an all around fansite. After thinking and discussing things over with online friends I finally opened Gisele Unlimited in November of 2004 and it was hosted by all-starz.org. I did some advertising and affiliating with different sites and the site soon got a few visitors. I soon started to get unhappy with where the site was located I soon moved it to my own domain hardcore-couture.org (which I no longer own) and the site soon started to get a bit more popular.
As more people started to visit, the site would go down more and more because it couldn't handle the traffic. I then got hosted by my online friend Melanie at mistaken-identity. When Melanie took a break from the internet my site ended up going down again. So I moved it back to hardcore-couture.org for the time being. When Melanie came back she kindly hosted my site as stylistique.org, but once again my site went down. By this time I had another personal and moved the site to crashthenight.net. Once settled the site enjoyed minimal but steady visits and not that much down time. Not being content with the current success of the site, I stopped updating and went on hiatus. After taking a bit of a break the site re-opened and gained a few more daily visitors. After a month or so of no inturreptions, the server crashthenight was hosted on crashed and I lost all of the things on my site. After going back on a short break the site re-opened again with more content and more people visiting the site daily. The site went steady for a while, but soon hit another bump when crashthenight expired. It was at this time I decided to buy a domain. And thus in 2005 Gisele Unlimited came to be known as Giselefan.org. Giselefan debuted just in time for the sites 1 year anniversary in November 2005. The site was growing and getting an great amount of visitors that I decided to get the domain hosted at LBN Hosting. After picking up the pieces after the move and having to put my gallery back together from scratch I enjoyed a bit more weeks of success. I began to get disenchanted by the lack of visitors and put the site on hiatus. After the break I opened the site back up in December, just a few weeks before Christmas. I also then noted that I was having trouble updating and finding new pictures as I had a lot of things to do. This is when I asked Barbara (Barby_Libertad11) to join on to the staff as the gallery maintainer, after seeing what a great Gisele fan she was and always had the latest info, pictures, and news on Gisele. The site enjoyed a bit more success for about 3-5 more weeks, but then trouble struck. The hosting site had trouble with another hostee and had to shut down hosting which resulted in my site being lost....again. Left with no host and all of my information and vast array of pictures lost I was at the end of my options. I then let the site go and it continued to be unavailable to the fans. During this time, I suffered the loss of my father on Janurary 22 and no longer had an interest in bringing the site back. It wasn't until the very end of Janurary did I again regain any interest in getting the site back up. On Feburary 17, 2006 the site once again relaunched to the suprise of most people after the many delays and personal problems and is now hosted at frozen midnight which we hope will be for good. And since the opening we have received an ashtonishing amount of visitors each day and joined forces with Just Gi a forum dedicated to Gisele. And with the merger me, Barby, and Joceline (Jmm80) hope to bring you the best of Gisele for a long time to come. The sole purpose of opening this site was to continually bring information on Gisele to the english speaking fans who do not understand portuguese and those who may not speak english, but just want to find new pictures of Gisele in her continuing quest to be the world's best supermodel....Barby and I will will continue to be here right along for the ride as she continues to achieve her goal. |
