# Before b3ta I was drawn into a website back in 2000ish
called twentythree - now that REALLY was a strange site perfect for conspiracy lovers to try and work out. Pretty much that site led me to B3ta initially.

The best thing about it all is that now the site www.twentythree.co.uk/ is just some default low fi fish and chip shop website - like in the movies when you try and take someone back to show them the conspiracy and it's all been tidied away like it was never there. So they won't believe you and think you are crazy!

But then as you walk away dejected the camera lingers on one remaining piece of evidence that you missed.

Edit: Synchronicity was a huge aspect of the 23 thing, which is what the reply I make below alludes to happened when they live event was cancelled.

Just before this thread I posted this reply to a links thread www.b3ta.com/links/288362
"3. Fractal time and the I Ching
* 10,000 years ago humans began domesticating plants and animals.
* 500 years ago we invented the printing press.
* 100 years ago we began driving automobiles.
* 50 years ago we invented the computer.
* 30 years ago we landed on the moon.

Okay, but by that reckoning 20 years ago we should have landed on Jupiter. 10 years ago we should have begun riding unicorns and by now we should have evolved into care bears."

A few hours later this is posted on the links board - www.b3ta.com/links/MIT_Technology_Turns_Humans_into_Carebears

# Oh it was sooooooo much more
the messageboard was on a site called theclothesstore so there was if any the viral marketing side, only it was more just the owner of that site was friends with the people behind it and let them use the hosting.

Now, looking back I see it as an incredible ARG that wasn't an ARG like you know now because the term wasn't coined and it had no marketing function. It was just straight up mysterious. The KLF got me interested in the 23 thing and the illuminatus trilogy, but i wasn't deep into it all. It was something interesting though.

There's so much to this site and story I could write a book on it.

# Here is a post of an event that totally blew peoples minds
www.theclothesstore.com/ubbzs/Forum8/HTML/000885.html
(the link above is different to the text in this post, the rest of this is background to let you know just how bizzare the events in the post were)

The site had a live chat thing you could use and people would shoot the breeze in there, on the 23rd of each month events started to happen. It was imposible to tell who was part of the site and who was just a participant. There was one person though - Scribe - who was the voice of the site. There'd be occasional webcasts of audio and choppy webcams of odd things.

Finally, after over a year of slow uncovering, discovery and friendships forming a small community built up around the site, and working out what the hell it was about and what it was there for. Scribe announced a LIVE event and that the people behind it did these live events as a seperate but related thing. We may get to descover some more details, great. A few people from 'the filter' (the chat room) had met up seperately or drawn friends in, but now was the chance for a lot of us to meet up.

This was before b3ta so anyone who's been to their first b3ta bash will know the feeling - only multiply it by 23.

So then this event gets cancelled mysteriously a few days before it was due. Bah it was just a tease. Oh well, several of us decided to meet up anyway in London. At a bar called The Foundry. (with super strong KLF connections)

That's the background, read the post now.

There were 3 'gates' to work through on the site. I guess nowadays pretty basic puzzle solving, and trial/error. It wasn't meant to be a puzzle people could solve though. that was the beauty. It just was a mysterious garden you could wander around. Finding new areas, new flowers blooming as time went on.

All scattered across the world by the winds of time, like seeds from a dandelion clock with 23 heads. No doubt all germinating new and even more invisible puzzles in our own small way.

I like to think and am certain it's so, that from some strange perspective there's a pattern in where we go.

# oh, harsh
I've had pretty positive responses on the whole in my time here, but a while ago I considered setting up a second account as a social experiment, because around that time I was getting loads of grief about 'well women get fawned over ON THE INTERNET and you get people being nice because you posted 'naked' pictures of yourself'.
To be honest I can see that you get treated with less leeway as a noob, and there is a certain amount of non-serious pandering, but I was very curious to find out once and for all if a 'male' newbie, who has read the FAQ and only makes small mistakes, rectified and apologised for, really would get treated that differently to my experiences.

Edit: Sorry, the link there was that I was curious if I'd get a front page if I was using a different username, and I'd be pretty gutted really.

# Back then everyone was a noob really.
There had been no b3ta bashes so other than some Londonites you just went on by what you saw and liked. I hadn't done that much worthy of a front page until then anyway, but it was nice to fill up the 10 FP's then retire the account. Just as an example - 1 FP was of a streaming webcam of a pub the night of the first mini b3ta bash (not of the pub the b3tans were at though) :)

It is interesting actually, since my other account was Ann Onnymouse. I didn't think about it but some people must have thought I was female with that name. To me it was just a play on words, but maybe it affected some people's view.

I'll admit I treat men and women differently in real life, not exaggeratedly different and not always deliberately, but not the same. On b3ta/the net I just go by what I see, there's no way of knowing either way most of the time anyway.
