Tomb Raider 4U FAQ



1.Why did you name your site Tomb Raider 4U?

The former title: "Croftmania's Tomb Raider Website", was too long to write and remember and not creative at all. I didn't want to use the name "lara croft" anywhere on my site's title, because I think that Lara Croft must not be separated from Tomb Raider. You may disagree with me, but that's the way I think. So I used "tomb raider" and added the short forms of "for you" which are very easy to remember.


2.How did your interest in Tomb Raider start?


Two years ago, one of my friends showed me Tomb Raider 4 and I borrowed her CD to try it out. Well, it just got me hooked!

3.How did you decide to make a website?


Two years ago, when I started getting involved in the internet community, I realized that many people had their own website and since they seemed perfectly ordinary people to me, I asked myself: Why don't you make your own website? It can't be so difficult!

4.How many hosts have you changed?


In chronological order: Tripod, Dreamwater, Topcities, Zero Catch, Portland, Brinkster and Idyl.net, Fragism, Dreamhost. That makes it 9 hosts.

5.So many hosts?!Why?


After expanding my website, I realized that I couldn't put up with ads and few features, so after switching from one "popular" host to another I started being a little more picky with my webhosts. But as my site grew bigger and bigger I started facing bandwidth problems. Idyl.net seemed to be fine for my website, but one day, for some weird reason both my site and the host and redirected all their traffic to adult sites! Fragism was the last free host I tried. It was perfect! But after some consideration, I decided to move to a new domain and since Dreamhost had some pretty good deals, I signed up with them for paid hosting, after a friend's suggestion.

6.Do you support Nude Raider?


No way! There's not a single nude picture of Lara in my website and my webring is for Nude Raider Free sites - which means that it is for sites that don't have Nude Raider. I think Nude Raider(nude pics, nude patch e.t.c) is for sick people that need to get a life. It's funny though that I get many visitors searching for Nude Raider, probably because of the Nude Raider Free stuff, which might be misinterpreted as Free Nude Raider...

7.What do you think of hotlinking?


I basically think it's a major threat for webmasters. There's a handful of people currently attempting to hotlink to my Angelina Jolie pics, but they don't know I can use .htaccess magic ;).

8.What's your attitude towards plagiarism?


If you kindly ask via e-mail for a pic or some info there's a 90% chance that I will let you use it and a 50% chance that I will let you use them without crediting me. If I can't let you use them, I will tell you why. So, take your chances people! Just don't steal my stuff, OK? I could inform your webhost about it, provided we can't discuss the matter in a civilized way.

9.How can I contact you?


Feedback, questions, screenshots, requests, contributions, corrections, award applications, hate e-mails, death threats and other relevant inquiries should be sent to me using the form on my
Contact Page.

10.Do you have a personal site?


Yes. It is located here. There isn't much stuff there though and it hasn't been updated for like two years.

11.Which program do you use to make your graphics?


I've been using Paint Shop Pro 7 for two years and nearly all of my graphics were made with it. It's a very nice and easy-to-use program. You can download a 30-day trial version from jasc.com if you're interested.

12.Which HTML Editor do you use to create your pages?


I used to use EasyHTML by ToniArts, but now I only use Windows Notepad and Wordpad.

13.What browser do you use?


I use Microsoft Internet Explorer, but I've used Opera and Netscape on some occasions as well.

14.Are you planning to add more stuff?


Yes, of course. I will always be updating and changing things.

15.How many layouts has your site changed?


The current version of my site is the third one. The design used to be blue-themed. The first layout had two navigational menus(one on the left and one on the right) and a searchbox. The second one had a left menu that folded and unfolded. Screenshots are available here.

16.How did you learn HTML?


Nobody taught me. I learnt it all on my own. Some sites - like Lissa Explains and HTML Goodies, did help me out, but I did nearly everything myself.

17.What if I get lost in Tomb Raider 4U?


No problem! We have site outline which shows you where to go if you are searching for specific information. I have added it here for your convenience. The setions on this page are ordered by popularity though.
