Just wondered who it was and if they posted?... Seems odd to have been a member for so long and not to know.
Oh my god! a wooden goat!. |

Well I had my suspicions, but didn't want to say in case it wasn't. I wondered if he knew this site would become so big?...

All good things start small, although this small thing has boomed! Good going, Laffen. Respect to the mods who help to keep this site the warm friendly place it's known as on other sites. Well done!

im curious about something. ESATO means (only touch [trust] a sony ericsson) so this site came out before SE was SE, then it was just Ericsson. so did Esato have a different name? (or did it not come out before SE came around?)
Its good to be back! |

@ECS yeah i wondered that as well. was founded in 2001, and Esato was started in 2001, so im presuming there was already knowledge of the merger when laffen started the site |

right (and hopefully for the last time  )
in the Answers to the most common questions on Esato Forums (FAQ style) is a section as follows...
Bonus Question: What does Esato mean?
A. "Only Take A Sony Ericsson" as stated by laffen in this thread
now, if you follow that link you find the following from laffen

It's funny how some topics seem to come back over and over.
Let's get this straight right away:
Esato does actually not mean any thing. He announced that himself at the Esato gathering we had here in Norway this spring. It's just a 5 letter word that is easy to say in most languages and just happened to be avalable as a .com domain at the time. Where he got it from as still a unanswered question.
Only Take A Sony Ericsson is a meaning that came later, wether it was Laffen or a member who came up with it I'm not sure of. But Laffen has accepted it as the meaning of the name.

I hope that resolves this whole story in one post!

So what was his motivation to start a forum based on a new mobile company with no real reputation?  |
