Some fans have pointed out that the Wayback Machine has not cached copies of our original site.

Apparently there was some type of restriction that was enabled in our user settings which prevented this by default

Since we still have the files, we might be able to do a "vintage" version of the website in the future.

2026-04-05 We completely overlooked that the site views would reset! Topping out at 347, we are now resetting the counter back to 0 for a new era!
2026-04-05 Thanks Thank you Angelfire and Lycos! (as well as Vito and Benjamin!) We couldn't have done this without you!
2026-03-02 RIP Thanks for the emails everyone! We were already well aware that Angelfire is permanently closing its services on April 5, 2026. Which is why *drumroll* we're going to be moving to the official isjoegelsasleep.com site! In terms of this update page and our Scary Stories section, my stepsons have graciously offered to help setup some Google forms and tables for migrating over the content and submitting new content! It will probably look a little different than the current layout.

2020-12-24 RIP Yet another golden age of the internet is passed! With the end of Adobe Flash Player support in browsers at the end of the month, our JRPG "Defcon Joe" we're back in contact with one of the developers, so while we would like to get the game partnered on Steam, there might be some delays.
2017-01-05 Fireworks 15 years of an amazing journey! Sorry it's been so long since we've updated. Adult life hits quick and we haven't had time to prioritize the site in a while. We're sorry to see that Fileplanet closed its doors in 2012 - the Joe Gels UT and JO/JA skins are unfortunately no longer available. We'll see if we can dig up a copy somewhere, but it was a few computers ago!
2009-06-25 RIP RIP to the King of Pop.
2008-08-15 News Roundup! Sorry that things have been a bit slow on the site recently, we've been a little busy with side projects, but are talking about any new features we want to have on the site.
2007-05-04 Important! The YTMND site "dozyjoesrailroadhorror" and its content is NOT owned by us!

"Madness? This is...IsJoeGelsAsleep!"

2006-02-16 Missle We are pleased to announce the release of "Defcon Joe"! Set in the Cold War, the US and USSR have to work together against an eco-terrorist group set on waking up Joe Gels.

2005-11-17 Cake Happy Birthday, Matt!
2005-04-17 Missle We have stepped into the world of game development with our idea of a new flash game "Defcon Joe". While it's still in the storyboarding phase, we're aiming for a JRPG set during the 1980s against the Cold War. We're always open to suggestions, and if there's anyone out there with Adobe Flash exerpience please contact us!
2005-04-16 Some good guesses! But no, we aren't looking to self-host or create a forum. We're still a pretty small team, and that's a little too much for us to handle at this point.
2005-04-15 Some exciting news coming out later this week!
2004-12-06 Christmas Christmas has come early! Our diehards have been working hard to bring you 3 gifts this year!

2004-10-02 Ghost User stories need to be read and approved by us first before they appear! We felt this was a necessary step to avoid unrelated/unwelcome content. If you email us your story, we've gotten it!
2004-10-01 Fireworks October is in the air! In recognition of our 2 year anniversary, we will be opening a new page, "Scary Stories". Here, users can stretch their creative muscles and submit and view their own Joe Gels scary stories.
2003-05-24 We've opened our images page! If you have any sleepy Joe Gels content you would like to submit, email us!

2002-11-15 Thanks 200 visitors! Wowza!
