Sweeet.com

Sweeet.com was a South Park fansite managed by Juz (Justin Trevena) from 1997 until September 3rd, 2002, best known for its image galleries.
It was well-known for offering dozens of 3-D South Park wallpapers created in 3DS Max including recreations of scenes from the show, parodies and spoofs, and much more. These images were re-uploaded and redistributed throughout the internet at the time. For a period, it also featured tutorials for art software, a personal blog, logo-based merchandise, and for a period, it offered web hosting for other South Park fansites and an e-mail service.
While relatively obscure today, it was instrumental in the early days of the fandom, and much of the original fanart can still be found on Google Images. 
==History==
The exact date the site opened is unknown, but April 11, 1998 was the first date when Juz created/uploaded a 3-D image based on South Park as he later cited in the FAQ section.
On October 6, 2000, the Sweeet Network hosting service and other associated sites closed down.Sweeet.com (November 9, 2000)
In February 2001, the site underwent a significant re-design, trimming some pages to focus more on the images and including a banner of the four boys in Juz's 3-D style based in previous images, and a logo including a blinking Timmy Burch as a version of Professor Xavier from X-Men, a parody the show would itself use over a decde and a half later in South Park: The Fractured But Whole.Sweeet.com (January 24 2001)
On May 25, 2001, Go Timmy Go founder Catpoo became a staff member at the site as well, and the site promised to cover more South Park news generally.Sweeet.com (May 16 2001)
After updates slowed to a crawl in its final year of operation, Juz announced the site's closure in September 2002:
I'm sure a lot of you have been expecting it, and I'm sure there's a lot of people who have been wanting it - but I've finally decided that it's time for Sweeet to end it's run. 
It's been over 4 years (creeping up on 5) of hard work - and I've met a lot of people over this period (Some great friends now) - but it's now come to the point where I can't dedicate any time to the site, and I've lost that "spark" that I did have (as is obvious by the lack of updates recently). 
So this will mean I will shut down Sweeet.com. This will also mean shutting down esweeet.com (email), and gotimmygo.com. 
I might end up reusing the sweeet.com domain name for a personal site (not decided yet) or something - but it won't be SP related. 
Oh, and to the few people I still owe a picture or 2 to, I'll get them completed as soon as I get into my new house. 
I will post again later tonite (my time) as right now I have to leave for work.Sweeet.com (September 30 2002)
The site was so significant that its closure was even mentioned in a South Park Studios news post.
===Legacy===
Juz has since re-uploaded a selection of the work between his personal DeviantART profile and a SweeetSP profile, and made four additional images in later years, most recently based on the season 15 (2011) episodes "Ass Burgers" and "Broadway Bro Down". Juz reflected while uploading an image from a later episode:
Just over 9 years ago (September 2002) I shut down my South Park fan site Sweeet.com. I used to create a whole bunch of these 3D SP images (do a google search, there's heaps of them), and did so for about 4 or 5 years. At it's peak the site was getting 3 million visitors a month!
But of course, real life came along and I lost my interest in making the images and decided to shut the site down and let them die a peaceful death..
Of course I kept all my max files, so a few weeks back I was having a look at my old stuff and found all my old models and map files. Looking at them after 9 years and seeing how crappy they were encouraged me to fiddle a bit with them to see if I could make them look a bit better...
And for the fun of it I decided to make a new wallpaper/image.. Hope you all like it!
