I said I wasn't blogging unless it was absolutely necessary, so in this case, it certainly is necessary.  Something that has been in the works for a very long time is about to launch for the very first time, to an unsuspecting public.

Podunkton.com is launching tonight.

One of the masterminds behind Podunkton is in fact one of the many people that I hope to have interviewed about this very project, his name is Jordan Miller, and his online handle is Cycon (or some know him as cycongod).  He's been in the Flash animation world for a long time, took a break, went to Purdue, and now he's got this crazy yet awesome creation coming out, that certainly looks awesome.

For a brief history lesson about Cycon, I'll throw some information out there, because that's what Ponza does, you see?  First, he was a member of go-gaia.com, now called "Gaia Online", which I also frequent to this day.  Gaia Online is a anime-inspired online community.  Sick of the way some people were treated as high as God on Gaia, Cycon began a revolution against the storyline being developed, and many Gaia members hopped onboard the train.  From the revolution group, Twitchblade Kreations eventually spawned from the friends who all met in that one revolutionary group, and here I am.  Ponza, Gaia's Splinter Cell.  Defender of the Community, and the Opposition of Gambino.

Since those days, the anime-inspired part of Gaia has twindled to nothing more than another massive community site, like Neopets or video game forum sites.  With Cycon giving us Podunkton, it gives us norms a new place to hang out, enjoy having a common goal, and make the coolest looking avatars in the history of the Net!  I hope you all check it out and see what Cycon, Vallos and the gang at Podunkton.com have to offer.

- Cheers,
Gordon Allen, aka Ponza.
