BOYS HIGH SCHOOL

Back in 1999 I was intending to have something about my old school, the South Shields Grammar Technical School for Boys, on my personal Web site, (www.miketodd.net), but it wasn't until early 2001 that I was able to get around to it. I then started to watch Friends Reunited, and its popularity made me realise that it was time to do something more radical - so I bought the ssgtsfb.info domain, and a site dedicated to the school went online in December, 2001. At its first anniversary the site had registered over a million hits... Unfortunately, the site was growing so big and popular, I was approaching the limits imposed by my Internet provider. So I decided to move to a new provider and at the same time I got a new domain name (boyshighschool.co.uk). The two sites ran side-by-side, and I don't think many people were able to see the join. But as time went on, the demands on the site grew even greater and trying to make the two parts of the site work together proved too time consuming.....
