Bunghole was created by Swedish Metal Inquisition in May of 1999 and has been running successfully ever since. A wide range of resources can be found, indexed in categories, from band pages and labels to studios and producers, thus being helpful for both music fans and artists themselves.
In July of 2000, due to other projects, Bunghole couldn't be kept up to date, so someone else should take over the site and keep it running. Therefore, Bunghole found residence in ravencrypt pages. The layout has been changed to a more user-friendly interface, but in a short period of time the site couldn't be updated very often, and soon became a dead project.
Furthermore, as of 21st of August, Bunghole is running in custom-made scripts (it was previously using Links v2.0 made with CGI/Perl). Now, it's working with fast PHP scripts supported by a powerful MySQL engine for the database, making things easier to manage and expect more features added to Bunghole soon.
Then it was the time for the owner's brother, that means me, to take over the site with the ambition to make it one of the most visited metal sites. This time that you are reading this text, I am working to change lots of things in Bunghole in order to make it better and easier to ues.
Dimitris Batis decided to make Bunghole an Open Source community, the Bunghole code has been published online and is available free of any charge (under the GPL license) and you can get it from this site. Of course, you must know how to use PHP scripts and SQL databases. He decided to do this release so as to help anyone who wants to make his own link indexing site. They can take lots of examples from my code on how to create their own sites.
