His name was (and is) Scrappy, so I called it Scrappyland.<\/p>\n<p>I launched the site in January of 2005 and added a substantial amount of new material in August of that year. Then I barely touched it. The site just sat there, but I knew it continued to be read, since I got regular e-mails from people who discovered it while researching Scrappy.<\/p>\n<p>Scrappyland may have been dormant, but my interest in Scrappy never wavered. I continued to uncover new facts about him and acquire additional pieces of Scrappyana. I just didn&#8217;t do much with most of what I found except to enjoy it myself.<\/p>\n<p>But now, at long last, I&#8217;m going to update Scrappyland again. Frequently, I hope: I&#8217;ve converted the whole site into a blog format, so it&#8217;ll be much easier to manage. And I have a lot to share.<\/p>\n<p>All the material we&#8217;ve ever published is still here&#8211;use the links on the left and right to burrow through it.
