About dogeatdog.nl

Did you know the official Dog Eat Dog fansite is already over 8 years old? Six design's, several hostingproblems, two hacked forums and legal letter later this website is still going strong!

I started this fansite way back in 2000. I don't recall the actual date but it must have been somewhere during the long summer. I had been playing around with the internet and building websites just dogeatdog.nl old design
www.dogeatdog.nl '00 - '02 for the fun of it for a couple of years without a real purpose. It was the time that everyone needed to have their own website. Much like every idiot has a blog nowadays I guess. Things online were changing fast those days yet some things never seemed to chance. One of those things was the official Dog Eat Dog website. It hadn't been updated since the first time I checked it back in early 1999.

Dog Eat who?

I've been listening to Dog Eat Dog ever since the Play Games album came out. Although I had seen the No Fronts remix video on MTV a couple of time I could never seem to catch the name of the band and eventually forgot about it. When I saw the Rocky video for the first time I just had to have the album that went along with it. At first I was actually dissapointed. I had been listening to The Offspring and Greenday and except for Rocky and Sore Loser the songs were something different. Different styles, different songs I don't know. I put the album down and didn't listen to again for more than a year.

When I finally picked it up again I got hooked. I wanted more. I kept checking www.dogeatdog.com for information about the upcoming Amped album. Unfortunately not much happened on the website. Only years did I learn things weren't going to well between Dog Eat Dog and Roadrunner Records. But little did I care at the time. I just wanted a new Dog Eat Dog album!

It begins...

www.dogeatdog.nl '02 - '05 In the summer of 2000 I got bored and wanted to create a new website. I was tired of not seeing any updates on either the official website or any of the so called fansites. I knew I could build a way better and bigger Dog Eat Dog website than anyone online. I just had to start somewhere. The place to start was this http://thedoghouse.home.nl/index.html. Sounds horrible right?! It took me another year before I actually bought the domainname I'm still using today: www.dogeatdog.nl.

Growing

Over the years dogeatdog.nl has gone through quite a number of (re)designs including minor and major tweaking. dogeatdog.nl old design

www.dogeatdog.nl '05 - '08 From a humble website with just a handfull of photos, a few mp3s and some videos hosted on other websites to more than 5000 photos, full album downloads, streaming music & videos and more.

I've giving away skateboards and meet&greetz through contests. Fans have been able to download exclusive demo's from Walk With Me way before the actual release date. I've received a letter from a laywer telling me to take stuff offline. I went through 200 gigabyte of bandwidth at one time with all the video downloads. The Dog Eat Dog forum has been hacked twice. And most importantly I've seen well over 50 Dog Eat Dog shows and met a whole bunch of cool people including the band, crew and fans. It's been a good 8 years since I started this website but I really don't feel like quiting just yet!
