About this site
Court Records was first opened to the public on
Jan 27th, 2006, after several weeks of hard work by its webmaster, Croik
(that's me~). I created it using Microsoft FrontPage and hosted it on
my own personal website. Content which at first included character
profiles, some sprites, and basic game information, has grown to case
descriptions, audio clips, fanworks, and
much more!
Several weeks after its debut, I was contacted
by Wooster, who suggested adding a forum to the site's assets. With
his help (and that of my brother, forum admin Anders), the Court Records
forum was opened on March 7th, on Invisionfree. In just under a year
it had attracted over 1,000 members, who have made over 90,000 posts.
On February 11th, 2007, Court Records moved to
Dreamhost, and in December of 2010, to ServInt.
When I first got into online fandom over ten
years ago, fansites were the "big thing." Just about every show I
was into had at least one large resource for anything and everything a fan
could want from their favorite series. When I decided to make Court
Records, I wanted to recreate that experience: to give fans a "one stop
shopping" database for everything Ace Attorney. With this in mind,
Court Records has and will continue to grow, thanks to the support of its
dedicated and talented fanbase. I couldn't do it without all your
help!
It is the passion of Ace Attorney's fans that
has raised it to the spotlight, and Court Records is proud to be a part of
that.
About Croik
Owner and head webmaster of Court Records.
For those interested, I am a female American fan in my mid twenties, who
does freelance translation work (Japanese). I didn't know about
Gyakuten Saiban until my brother told me about this wacky lawyer game coming
out for the DS. Very interested, I played the GBA games and have been
in love with the series ever since.
I've been in online anime and game fandoms since roughly 1995 (I've always gone by Croik), and in that time have worked
on many fan projects, including gif editing, fan translations, roleplay
groups, music videos, and most of all: fanfiction. When not around CR you can also find me around ff.net and LJ.
About Wooster
Ever since I first met Wooster through Court
Records he has helped to support this site and its forum in a variety of
ways, from graphic edits, to coding, to handling tech support issues, and
much more. Recently his efforts at the Capcom main site has helped
strength ties between our two forums, along with aiding CR's server move,
and the creation of our new forum. Court Records owes him a lot!
Wooster has an interest in computer
programming, and has worked as a mod/maintainer on other forums. He's
also a big fan of Macs.
