Robert Podboy Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Did C-130 Hercules.net evolve from Spectrumwd.com or a combination of other sites? Just wondering about the timeline, past webmasters, effort to get to the fine resource it is today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Did C-130 Hercules.net evolve from Spectrumwd.com or a combination of other sites? Just wondering about the timeline, past webmasters, effort to get to the fine resource it is today! Thanks for the kind words. The site did evolve from Hercules Headquarters (Spectrumwd.com). After little attention had been paid to site in a couple of years, I approached Scott Gager and offered to help with the site in 2007. He informed me that he had lost interest and offered to transfer the site to me. Being a log time member and a huge fan of the C-130, I gladly accepted and assumed control in September. I wanted to move the site to a domain with "C-130" in it but none were available at the time, so I rebranded the site HerkyBirds.com. Since then the site has been renamed C-130Hercules.net (HerkyBirds.com still works and we also own C-130Hercules.com) and has seen several different software suites along the way. I began the move to a new suite last month and I am currently working to restore old content. There is still a lot to do and add, hopefully it doesn't take another 7.5 years.

Casey, another question… Do you know who posts all the ‘C-130 shared’ photos and videos on the c-130 facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/C130Herculesnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more or less a "fan site" companion to this site. I share some of our content on that site but the large majority of the posts are Joey's.
