Why Illuminati Online Is Better Than The Government
This is a deep cut . . . those who joined the Conspiracy in the last couple of decades will not remember Illuminati Online, the ISP that grew out of the SJ Games BBS. It was born, it grew, it thrived for a while. But it was definitely a thing. We gave a lot of people their first connection to the net, and we had fun.
While unpacking this afternoon, I found a stash of old IO T-shirts, including one that I am definitely going to wear again. Alas, IO is no longer with us, and the government . . . well, it is more like it was than it ever has been, if you get my drift. So I stand by my T-shirt.
