stratovarius.com was registered 1998-01-21, anyway.
Before that, the pages were hosted on http://netlife.fi/stratovarius . If anyone has cached copies of those sites, please let me know for our stratohistory project
In the "Episode" booklet, the netlife address was even there already. That was 1996. So there must have been a web server and pages that it served.

Oldest file in my own panix web-accessible filesystem has the timestamp Apr 25 1995.... tempus fugit. Tolkki sent that infamous fax to me a few months later (fax offering me too much money). When i left for Helsinki in December 1995, I had then been at Tavastia actually, once, playing some Jazz gig a few years earlier. And I had been in Helsinki, twice. One day each time.
But at that time, in December 1995 when Tolkki picked me up from the airport and I greeted him with "vedä virtahevon vittu päähän yli", little anything did I know about anything. Like Lapin Kulta, Karhu, Koskenkorva, Salmiakkikoskenkorva, Timo, Timo, Jari and Jörg, the Ruttopuisto, Tero T, Finnvox, Oksala (who still owes me 50 euro) and Karmila, spring in Helsinki, all the lovely crazy kind wonderful finns, Vappu, Summer, partitiivi, karuselli restaurant, taking the tram, mape, sami jylhä, drying your dishes in a cupboard, Jukka's boat, sökö's genius videos, punavuoren itsepalvelupesula, SAUNA!!, django, isoroba<sigh>, masse (cafe maestro), soda (RIP), lost and found, drinking coffee like a man, gas and the him people, rehearsing under a police station, sidewalk vomit dodging on saturday mornings, lepakko(RIP), vodka with vodka, summer festivals with vomiting elks, shirts with vomiting elks, many late and wet nights with jörg solving the world's problems before we try to solve our own, living for months in Kallio, Tuska Festivaali, Hästfittan, the dread, the hangovers, the joy, the extasy, the hope, the love, Corner Bar, On The Rocks, Mount Everest, compassion, hangovers, more music, the jukkamobile, dark clouds, but always the hope.
I know a little more about those things now, and I have to say it was a pretty cool 10 years
So, evidently, people were posting some silly Spam topics then! And, no, it was not me! I did not even hear of the StratoForum until early 2002 after it moved to its present site!

If Tolkki were a more serious guy and he wouldn't have known who you were, there is a chance he could have punched you on the spot for greeting him with that.
Hilarious post anyway.. I read it laughing all the way.
Yep--if I'd been a guy in that case I'd benn :pissed: too! shaz wrote:"vedä virtahevon vittu päähän yli" loosely translates to something pretty close to "pull a hippo's pussy over / on your head"
Or at least that's how I see it. If someone has anything to add, then please do.
But what does that have to do with Jens meeting TT for the first time? Why would he say that? What is the significance? I'm lost.....
Well, uh.. I don't think we should discuss this much further, but we have to keep in mind that it IS Jens we're talking about here.
