eXceem The Free Community

eXceem is a popular freebie forum. With over 26,000 members it is probably the largest freebie forum in the world based around referral sites.

HISTORY

eXceem was started in 2005 by Trevor Edwards. The original site was infact not called eXceem at all but was another site he designed so he could get a free iPod Mini. Using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine the image below shows what the orignal free iPod Mini site looked like. (As it is an archived site some images are missing.)

Free iPod Mini Site

Once he got his free iPod Mini he decided to change the site into a place were other people could get help with their referral’s. That was when eXceem was born. Below you can see what eXceem originally looked like near the start. (As it is an archived site some images are missing.)

Over the years eXceem has suported many different freebie networks including the Giveaway Network, Interclickz, ForFree4U, Freepay, Freebiejeebies, Real Incentives, Kudos Network, Xpango and many more. Most have come and gone but some are still around.

The mods and members at eXceem have also come and gone, though many who have been there from the start are still active members. The community has also grown in size over the years and is now a large and very active community.

EVOLUTION

Since 2005 eXceem has evolved into what you see today. You can see it evolve for yourself in the gallery below:

WHY THE NAME EXCEEM?

Why the name eXceem you ask? Well at the time there was a very popular file sharing bittorrent program called exeem, so it was a delibrate spelling error to get easy traffic when people searched for exeem and misspelt it.
