About the Site

History

Around late October 2008, Dan was hard at work killing enemies on Unreal Tournament 3. Then after a pyrrhic victory, Dan went online to view some videos. Then thought... "What if... users could get rewarded..." A virtual but amusing way, Dan thought. Then he pondered on the idea of what to get and give. For a while, he was stumped, then he thought of cookies. They were perfect! They were liked by most and it was used in everyday conversations as a treat. Dan then started to get to work on Cookyx version 1 and release the website on October 25, 2008. Since then, Cookyx has been improving bugs and errors and keeping an endless supply of virtual cookies!. Please note that Cookyx, while it has many features (groups, forums, referrals, etc.), its primary purpose is one thing: reward cookies.


What is Cookyx?

Cookyx is a cookie-keeping place for your cookies. Think of it as a "Reward system". How it works out is that you'd post a video somewhere and in the description you'd put something like "If you liked this video, give me a cookie!."

Everything you see on the site is built and maintained by one human being. From the forum to web template to the profile system, created by Dan the creator and owner. Cookyx hopes to bring you a place to vault your cookies received from friends and users-alike. Taking input from the community forums, cookyx transforms ideas into changes within days. The leaderboards are cookie-accurate. This means, everything you receive a cookie, the leaderboard automatically updates. There are 3 types of leaderboards: Overall, Daily, and Monthly. Can you get Number one?

As of right now, the only way to earn cookies is by forum posts/topics and friends. Don't worry, soon you'll be able to enter contests and do other (enjoyable) things to earn more cookies.

Around early June 2009, Cookyx launched version 3. The whole template was re-designed and reworked. Each page was edited accordingly. Version 3 brought some features in and took some out. In the latest version, Dan changed and fixed a lot of website bugs and errors. As of late, Cookyx has taken out the ads.
