Menewsha! I have to ask....
SO I just realized this would be something interesting to learn about or cool to read about if it ever gets answered. If you have questions you want to add to the list tell me and I'll add it in or pm me them and I will add them. You can even leave your name as well and I will put it down.
MY MAIN QUESTIONS: How did you first think of creating Menewsha? -I mean I know there was an island and you began a new life there. But as the creators of the site goes, what first inspired you? How long did it take before you could set up the site? -I mean how long to gather everyone and everything you needed (funds including) did you think it took? So far that's all for right now :) |

This is a great idea, Immy <3 I would love to learn more about Menewsha's history and behind the scenes.
|
Whelp. Sorry to say, but your questions can't be answered by the current staff. The original creator, Josh, sold the site years ago. The current owner isn't the original owner, and the original owner is looong gone. He did give an interview a while back, and I'm sure you could find it on Google.

Snippets from said article from Josh Buckley (Joshimitsu is/was his username on here):
Quote:
Source article in question for similar info: Interview with Josh Buckley - Financial Freedom at 15 - Young Entrepreneurs Lee bought it back in late 2006/early 2007 who then sold it to Inso about a year later in mid to late 2008-ish, iirc? |
Wow!!! I would love to meet him. He sounds impressive.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-buckley-7612284 ...yes I did google search his name out of curiosity about Menewsha's founder ^_^; |
Haha I never thought to google it XD
Though it makes sense it has been re sold all this time and with the economy it makes sense. |
Menewsha was made by a 14 year old? darn that's impressive!

There are a lot of bits of history littered around the site if you do a bit of digging. Sadly jelly isn't around to post about it, she knew him pretty well if I remember right.
Lately however, I'm seeing less and less 2007/2008 users, so the generation that would know of him is fading. I do however remember him coming to visit Menewsha one time. I would search for specifics but I was around back then so... not fond of reading my old posts... eck I think it would be nice if he payed another visit, but it's been 6 years since his last post. |
that's amazing though. I had no idea. I didn't come around until 2010 though so ^^;; not a surprise that I had no idea.
|
bringing this back up for others to read for the interesting history lesson.
not to mention I am not surprised that he was 14, My brother who was..well I suppose 8 or so could build the titantic, inside & out on minecraft. I cannot however take that much time to do that. he also is able to re create the atat walkers from star wars including the ships and storm troopers (but he cannot draw physically like I can) so with technology he has already advanced way before I did. |
Sadly, it's the lack of members around... |
I wonder if reaching out to Josh would help Menewsha or not... Worth a try, maybe?
|
That would be great, but I don't know if it would do anything.
|
I think it's a great idea Reach out and don't touch anyone or anything… wash your hands...GOOD LUCK!!! |
I do wonder if Josh could contact Inso.
