Goatbob is the creator of The Goat Pen, but could never have created the site as it is without the early support he received from the rest of the staff. What started as a little side-project in junior high eventually grew to become what it is today, but in 2002, the site began to really take shape, and this was because of the help of the rest of the staff.

Originally, The Goat Pen featured a few random stories and a few senseless hints for random video games. It wasn't until Bugging Sephiroth, The Amazing Final Fantasy Race, and the website's forum were created that the site truly began to grow in popularity. The site went through many facelifts, and now looks as it does today.
