Samprasfanz

History of the Samprasfanz Website

The idea of putting up a Samprasfanz website first came up in 1999. There were initial difficulties getting the project off the ground until March 2000 when the topic again resurfaced on the messageboard and a group of 10 members from different parts of the world banded together to volunteer their efforts and spare time to make the website a reality.

The first meeting was held on March 25/26, 2000 — two dates due to the different time zones. During the meeting, the team members discussed what the site objectives and contents should be…. and this is the result of their hardwork. We hope you enjoy the site.

Site Objectives
