Sounds unnecessarily confusing. If you visit a place a lot (a pub for example) it doesn't become your home, so why would visiting a page a lot make it your home? I understand the page part though. Still, Game's "home" is at Tendo Box but is it his "homepage"? I would say that it's more like a council flat, you don't own it but you do live there (and only because it's where you start your journey).

It is his homepage.

The term "homepage" is widely mispercieved. Technically, it means your favourite website, somewhere you access regularly and has lots of links to other sites, like a portal. It's basically, the page your browser loads up initially and the site it loads when you press "home". For example, I have the FOG Prime as my homepage.

However, many people, especially webdesign amateurs, use the term "homepage" for whatever site they have created. Where this came from I don't know for certain, but I giess it's because many people used to create portals or link pages and use them as a homepage. I did the same thing with my Blog*)NATION weblog. I had that as my homepage for ages because I could access a lot of my favourite sites from there.

Therefore, Tendo Box was Game's homepage because it's his favourite website and his browser loads it when it is started.

(PS The URL for Blog*)NATION is http://www.blognation.f2s.com . Any suggestions for additions welcome.)

Well that's just a symantics error. You didn't create it and you don't live there.
