[edit] The Archivists
Michela Ecks founded the site. Early on, Jimmy Partin was brought on as a programmer. Hosting issues became an issue and the site was transfered to a host that was a friend of Jim's. Jimmy Partin then preceded to lock out Michela Ecks all administrative access to the site, to ftp access the site, with held passwords and made it impossible for Michela Ecks to do any maintenance on the site. Jimmy Partin became the archivist for the site through what amounts to the theft.

[edit] Archive History
FanDomination.Net recieved a cease and desist letter on March 13, 2003 for materials pertaining to Andy Pettite, a baseball player. The letter demanded that libelous materials be removed. The site complied with this request.
In April, 2006, Laura officially quit the site and her name was finally stripped from the site.
[edit] Archive Funding
The site was initially paid for by Laura and Jim out of pocket, to the tune over $150 a month. She paid all the costs until around mid-2005. At that point, Jim Partin added adverts to the site. The site originally used GoogleAds but they were accused of using false clicks and their account was suspended. The site later switched to advertisements sponsored by Yahoo. These ads covered part of the costs. As of May 2007, Jim Partin claims the site is still several months behind in payment.
