What is The 7th Zone’s Grand Theft Auto HQ?
Basically…:
Grand Theft Auto HQ is part of The 7th Zone, a fansite dedicated to both Grand Theft Auto and Rockstar Games in general.
It’s Founding Members:
Previously -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ, The 7th Zone’s Grand Theft Auto HQ was founded by }{oT~dEv1L 666 and is now part of The 7th Zone, which is a joint effort between }{oT~dEv1L 666 and Silent Fiona.
History:
The 7th Zone started out as -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ, in mid-2005, and was migrated into the WordPress platform in February 2007. The first version of -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ was never really given a proper name, until Version 2, which became a full blog site.
Since then, the site has grown from strength to strength, and what you are seeing today is the result of the passion for blogging (and Grand Theft Auto).
In November 2007, Version 3.0 of the site was launhced, marks a stepping stone to the success of this blog, as well as the transition to a Grand Theft Auto and a Video Games news blog. If you take a look around, we have been following the news for Grand Theft Auto IV very closely, as well as the Grand Theft Auto series in general.
Flash back in June 2007, and the site was hosted at German free hosting site, Kilu. And, before that, at ByetHost. Bad things always happen in this world, and the site was hacked in February 2008, when we were forced to move out and relocate many times.
On February 2008, -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-’s HQ moved into a new home (http://blog.gtahq.net), hosted by the Multiplayer Network, and we started posting more Grand Theft Auto-related news, media and articles. On January 2009, the site was officially recognized as Version 4.0, which is the current version you are viewing, coupled with a new logo style and powered by WordPress 2.7. Version 4.0 is a major milestone that marks the move to a dedicated weblog for Grand Theft Auto news and media.
In 2010, the site became known as The 7th Zone, and the bulk of the previous site became Grand Theft Auto HQ, while the rest of the site became part of the main 7th Zone site.
