The
Banjo , co webmaster, since 2003, of banjo-international, will reprensent
the webring during this "conférence".
Welcome
to this , well , second bi-expo, if we can consideer the 2004 one like
a real one ! A event like bi-expo is very hard to organize but so great
! It isn't worth less. Banjo Internet World has evolved since his creation
in 1997. At Banjo-International, we think that the Banjo Internet World
is entering in his 3rd era.
The
first one was dominated by the premier and mythic banjo fan website :
YBK. Remember at the beginning of the marvellous and great Banjo Internet
history. We are all the children of YBK. It's very amazing to see that
YBK's boards are still alive ! Nobody can pretend to a so important life
! And when you know that YBK website has made BKPC 1&2, you are forced
to admire this website , the father of all our great or crappy banjo-related
"pages".
Who
can pretend today a popularity like YBK ? Nobody, you guys of a great
website, you can pretend it, so try to do your best, maybe in 10 years
! Who knows ?
At
the end of the 90s, in 1999-2000, a new era, not like the anarchist "
du passé faisons table rase", more like a continuation with
an evolution, with the "clue" of Stop'n'Swop by the Rarewitchproject
and the creation of Dabreegster Database of Banjo-Fella Breegull Aviary,
yeah that was the period of very long name, it was " à la
mode". This era didn't bring a lot to the banjo internet world, new
technology has been used by websites of this era, but something was lacking.
With
the crash of Microsoft buying, an un-countable number of fan website has
closed, BT-Hive, BT-Planet , BK-T, ...
Today,
Banjo Internet World is back ! During the year 2003, the first multi-language
banjo's webring had been created, Rarewitchproject had came back. Between
2003 and 2005 : 2 years to rebuilt a new Banjo Internet World.
Today
Banjo Internet World is evolving, and Banjo-International will continue
to support all the actors of this New community, by promoting of the projects
and new websites.
Because
Banjo-International will continue to do what it does the best : trying
to federate the Banjo Websites, because today a lonely banjo dedicated
website can do nothing, that's a fact, during this Summer banjo-international
will evolved again, by meeting "the nouvel vague"
