Billionaire Boys Club Blog

New Chapter

2009-12-18T10:19:00.001Z

Billionaire-Boys-Club.co.uk and it's successor, beunequaled.com both ceased to exist quite a while ago now.

Be Unequaled will return in a completely different form, as I work on new projects like receeve.it and nike+php and concentrate on some freelance work.

BE UNEQUALED

2007-05-17T16:22:00.000+01:00

Ok, so I stopped updating this 'blog' back in October '06, but it's time a for a quick revival!

After a great time at Billionaire-Boys-Club.co.uk, we've moved to a brand new home: Be Unequaled (http://www.beunequaled.com)

A better forum, a better website and more input from you adds up to one hell of a place to spend your time! :)

The end is here!

2006-10-10T21:12:00.000+01:00

This blog was somewhat of a test, to see how much easier my life would be with a free, open source solution to posting news and items of interest.

I have mixes feelings with the outcome: one one hand, it was easy and automated, on the other, i couldn't be bothered to do it regularly, or twice, since most stuff was also posted on Billionaire-Boys-Club.co.uk

I also wanted to see if many people read this 'blog'! Well, this blog will remain here, but will no longer be updated. It's time for a change and bit of a clean...

If you're reading this, i'll let you in on a secret: there are some suprises in store for mid-late October!

I won't say what they are just yet, but keep an eye on the site for what I hope will make Billionaire-Boys-Club.co.uk even better than it already is :D

Back Online after 403 Error

2006-05-16T23:16:00.000+01:00

Unfortunately, the main site experienced some downtime at the beginning of the week.

It was a problem with the hosts I use so it was completely out of my control! Thankfully they were able to get everything back online within a few hours and everything is back to normal!

NEW forum open for business!

2006-05-12T14:52:00.000+01:00

After a month or so of working out some small details, the new 'Limited Edition' forums have opened!

If you want to talk about brands other than BBC/BAPE, do it there!

And don't forget, if you have any limited edition/exclusive items for sale, contact BBChaz at forsale@billionaire-boys-club.co.uk and they'll get listed in the Member Items forum!

www.bbcicecream.com updated some more

2006-05-03T16:47:00.000+01:00

Over the last week or so, http://www.bbcicecream.com has been updated and they're at it again!

Originally, they moved nearly all the stock that wasn't selling, leaving very few items, but they soon re-stocked with a new range of hoodies.

Since, jeans, a few t's and jackets have been added.

The latest additions are the Star Trak t-shirts and jackets, and with the t's at $55, they'll sell out fast!

Take a look and don't forget to check the forum for all the latest releases BEFORE you see them on bbcicecream.com.

You can find the thread here!

New Forums!

2006-04-23T23:03:00.000+01:00

Just a quick post to inform you of the newest additions to the Forum, erm, two new forums!

There's now a "Music" section after a lack of releases from Star Trak!

There's also a new "Members Blog Entries" forum where forum members can keep a blog style thread going!

Last, but by no means least, is a whole new section! The "Other Brands" section. This section has yet to be unlocked, but all in good time my friends! Just a few minor (but major) details to be worked out, but keep checking back as it will open up soon!

BBC Season 2

2006-04-07T11:06:00.000+01:00

Thanks to ZuMaRock for starting the thread, and thanks to the many members that have contributed more images and opinions to it!

We've all managed to create a thread that contains images of the items released as part of the Billionaire Boys Club season two line up.

Every item has had mixed reviews and it's worth reading through the 8 (at time of writing) pages to see the various items!

Look out for a comprehensive list on the site very soon!

The Billionaire Boys Club Season 2 line up. Remember, it's just a rough idea, but nearly all items are there!

Site Re-Worked

2005-12-28T10:28:00.000Z

Billionaire-Boys-Club.co.uk has now been running for over 2 months and gained a lot of attention. I was contacted by MTV, the developers of the official BBC website and managed to make a few other contacts in that short space of time.

I was recieving more information that I thought I would, and it meant that the pages were getting longer, and more maintance was needed.

I really liked the old template I produced. A lot of time and effort went into designing, building and keeping it going, but it just became to much. I spent an entire day re-working the back-end of the site, while keeping a similar feel.

The left hand bar has been shrunk, and the middle section expanded to take up double the width. This means that I can accomodate larger images, more text and keep the pages nice and trim!

Over the next week or so, the For Sale panel will be reduced from 4 to 3 items again, as the amount of BBC/Ice Cream items goes down on ebay. The RSS feed can still be found on the index page and will stretch to accomodate upto 10 items.

The Real or Fake and Gallery pages will be updated too. I'll also be adding more content to the other pages more often.

Everything is built in PHP, with tableless layouts, and should meet all W3C requirements. I didn't have the time to check if it did, but I work to those standards. The site is cross-browser compatible and shouldn't pose any problems for users. I hope!

If you have any suggestions, comments or ideas, you can comment on them below, or join the forum and leave them in the "Site Suggestions/Announcements" forum.

Welcome!

2005-12-26T08:19:00.001Z

Welcome to the new, official, Billionaire-Boys-Club.co.uk Blog!
