About The Site

Whether this is your first time here or you if you are returning from the previous instance of jayfraud.com, we welcome you with open arms (just watch your wallet!)
The story of jayfraud.com is a rich tale that began during Jason’s time at Pennsville Memorial High School, where what would later become the makings of this site would be incubated and refined. During those days, Jay (known to the world then only as Jason Ford, or Fordo for those in the know) used his graphic arts talents to host a Geocities site that detailed some rather humorous adventures in High School. Highlights of the site were the Teacher’s Death Match and The Beuhler Files, chronicling an ongoing battle that he and his friends had waged against a rather senile substitute teacher. Eventually, the graduation came and went, and this change took Jason to the University of Vermont.
In the crisp mountain air of Burlington is where the “JayFraud” persona was formed. Jay moved his site over to UVM’s servers and chronicled his interactions with his good friends like Captain Pete, Erika, Greg, and Theron. Although he loved all of his friends and the whole UVM experience, it wasn’t fulfilling his educational desires. It was a risky and rather bold move to make, but Jay left behind the big college experience and transferred to DeVry University back home in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, PA.
While it may not have seemed like the best idea at the time, Jay ultimately found his place in Philly. Making this switch was the final catalyst not only in Jay’s higher education career, but also the transformation into a true Internet personality. It would be remiss for you think that this transformation was completed without outside influences. Along with the life long friendships made in Vermont, there also were forces that were found in Philly and they were strong! It was in Philly that Jay partnered up with Jordan, Rightley, Ryan, and the rest of what would come to be known as the 14J/15D Unit.
The original jayfraud.com site was a portal to post pictures of their parties, classy celebrity ladies in their undies and a forum almost certainly designated to planning the next party; or what you would call a virtual Fraternity House on the internet. Being that it was a site all about Jay and his friends, Jordan suggested that jayfraud.com was “everything you needed to know” about them and the rest, as they say, is history.
Like so many other aspects of life, all good things must come to an end. Everyone graduated, went their own ways and moved into the working world. The time to post party pictures and planning the next party gave way to getting up for work and meeting deadlines. With this, jayfraud.com folded like a bad poker hand and the domain name allowed to slip into the hands of a cyber squatter away. During this time of internet dormancy a lot of things happened; jobs changed, people moved, apartments burnt down, houses were bought & sold, engagement rings were given, and children were born (mine actually). The one thing that never changed, however, is the friendships that were forged in college and through jayfraud.com. They were never lost, and still maintain to this very day.
Due to this lasting friendship (and the fact the URL was available again), Jason has decided to relaunch the site in the form of a portal for friends to converge once more. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the re-launch of jayfraud.com!
