-Last Updated: July 2005-

One day I received a link to a funny site. The site was lost in cyberspace.. I liked it, and created a mirror on my web site to share with my close friends.. Then I sent the e-mail with the link to 10 people. Guess what happened: I got more than 500000 unique hits in two weeks. My ISP threatened to shut down my site. Mahir Mafia warned me and gave me an ultimatum to delete all the content. I received thousands of fan mails. Boston Globe interviewed me..etc.. This is Internet... you never know what will happen next...  

So it happened again.. As of July 20 2005, CNET chose the original mahir page as one of the 10 best pages for the last 10 years..320000 hits in 24 hours.. It was nice but I ran out of bandwidth.. Thanks to all Mahir fans from all over the world. Fans offered help and the site is up again..
