Domain History

This domain does not really have a ton of history per say... It was just an idea formed in my mind for about a year or so before I actually bought it. When I first started planning a lot of Tales shrines, Kara and I made a sub domain collective for our Tales shrines called "Trip of Destiny". That did not really last for too long because "tales.fire-dancer.net/something" was a rather long URL. So, I just decided to move them back to the main directory and wait until I could buy a Tales domain.

I had not planned on buying one until the summer of 2008, but since I was already buying a new main domain name, Kara suggested that I should just get the Tales domain along with it. So I did.

Tethealla.net was bought on July 29th, 2007 through Namecheap.com. It is simply an add on domain to irisblade.org, and therefore shares the same space and is hosted at Webhostingbuzz.

Domain Name

Unless you have not played or gotten far enough in Tales of Symphonia, this name should be pretty obvious. Tethe'alla is the second world in Tales of Symphonia, acting as a counterpart to Sylvarant when Mithos used the Eternal Sword to divide the world into two in order to undergo his whole Martel reviving thing.

I really did not have tethealla.net in mind until the day before I bought the domain. I had originally planned on getting "mystearica.net", but then I kind of realized that since I had a Tear shrine, having other shrines on the domain would be weird. I thought of a whole bunch of other things with the help of Kara, but I really was not sure. Finally I thought of using Tethe'alla because it was my favorite of the two worlds, not to mention also sounded pretty. I wanted to get tethealla.org, but it was already taken by some Japanese site, so I moved to .net and that was how tethealla.net was born.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please make sure to read the following before you go and contact me. I'd rather not have to answer these questions again, so please keep in mind I will not respond to you if you ask one of the following questions (other than to link exchange).

1. What do you use to make ______?
All graphics are made in the Mac version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 unless stated otherwise. Any animations are made in Adobe ImageReady 7.0. All brushes and effects on the things I make were done by me, except for the occasional credited pattern from squidfingers.com. My main collection of fonts that don't already come on the computer can be found at dafont.com.

2. Will you make me _____?
If I make someone something, it's usually of my own free will, and for my friends. Chances are if you're some random person I've never met before, I won't accept the offer. Sorry, but I just don't have as much time as I used to.

3. Will you host me?
Nope. Please do not ask me, I don't have enough space to host a bunch of people.

4. Can I affiliate with you?
Er...well, if you have a regular domain I will have to say no. But if you happen to have a Tales domain and would like to partner or something, sure!

5. Can I link exchange with you?
Sure! I'm not picky with link exchanges as long as you don't have a major swearing problem or adult content all over everything. Just contact me about it somehow.
