So who, what, when, how did this great site get started?
Of course the "why" is obvious, but, then again, maybe not.
What's the back story to AAPK?

Re: History of AAPK
I read that Bryan started it up as a college project or something like that. I don't have time now but I'm sure somebody will post a link.
