History


A screenshot of CTv5

<p align="justify">In 2002, Vineet Chaudhary (Sultan) created ClanTemplates after becoming aggravated at the constant requests by other clans to make good looking layouts. Knowing full well that gamers and teenagers don't have deep pockets, clantemplates.tk was created in order to serve the Age of Empires 2 community for free. </p>
<p align="justify">
Within one month, requests for templates from other games such as Asherons Call, Age of Conquerors, Counterstrike and others began pounding the CT message boards. Andrei Martchenko (Pac) and Arihant Jain (jainarihant) became admins in 2003 and helped shape the beginnings of CT by managing the staff and fullfilling the demands of these gamers. In the summer of 2004, Joe Hansen (Nakor) joined as Senior Programmer and quickly moved up the ranks to become an admin and managing the security and integrity of the network. In 2005, Melissa Mancuso (Serenity) amazed the CT community with her dedication to designing and was awarded the admin position to fullfil larger goals of the network. The newest of adminstrators Psycrotic only recently joined the admin team on March 2nd 2006.

Starting with a 10mb AT&T personal hosting account in the beginning, the site quickly progressed to being sponsored by a hosting company, but outgrew the sponsored bandwidth within a few months. The ClanTemplates.com domain was then sponsored by another individual in return for a custom layout.

Today the ClanTemplates.com network runs on two dedicated servers with 2.4tb bandwidth capacities and 100mbit lines and continues to strive in providing high quality templates, signatures and renders for gamers and designers for no charge. ClanTemplates.com staff is renowned in the gaming world and the admins manage the constantly growing member base and serve the community to the best of their abilities.

    About ZeSix



    Originally created in December 2005, Zesix Interactive's holdings have been thriving since May 2002. Starting with Clan Templates, the team behind Zesix has been bent on originality and creating solutions that have never been offered before. With the creation of Clan Templates, a unique mix of gaming and design enthusiasts were brought together and the beginnings of a new niche market were in place. From Clan Templates, many other websites have spawned which cater to the same community that Clan Templates helped create. Stepping away from the gaming aspect, recent Zesix developments have focused on designers and their needs. Sig of the Week and MySigs.com have both seen tremendous growth in their starting months and will soon be built upon further to reach the traffic and level of sophistication that other sites in the network have achieved.

    Zesix's core team is comprised of a motivated and hard working set of individuals that are driven by the central vision of this organization.
