was @mos before psurkit??? I just remember psi getting me to join psurkit
waaaaaay back in '96 (or was it '95???) when there were only about 10
people on it. That was a cool list - a real nice feel to it - I think it
became quite an important part of people's lives actually (oh god what a
sad-arse...) - specially when ?Lily - was it you? - suggested we all
introduce ourselves - which we did and became one big happy family.
After a year or two we got a few people coming through who didn't lurk long
enough first to get the feel of the thing, and the atmosphere changed quite
a lot (for the worse - more insult-throwing rather than reasoned argument),
but I don't think it really imploded under the weight of anything bad - I
think Psi just got bored with it and decided to kill it off. And then he
decided to create psecret initially so promoters could talk about promoting
and try not to overlap with each other's gigs - and now it's sorta a place
where people get into deep and meaningful discussions about all kinds of
things - when they're not too busy on Re:Act, that is.....
I never experienced the joys of wreckage - what I saw of it sounded too too
bitchy for wordz - but it's good fun lurking on React...and Psecret..
