Hey, this is sort of a quick recap into how I got the name "Asylum", and some insight
into what I did with myself a few years back. I'm actually copy-pasting this text
from where it used to be a LONG time ago, and I'm trying to edit it to find any mistakes,
but I'm sure your brain will still find tons. Anyways, Enjoy.
It all started sometime in 1995 (that year is "a little" foggy). I was calling BBS's (only those of advanced intelligence know what REAL BBS's are, and NO they don't have anything to do with the internet) and decided to download a Program called Renegade. I worked many hours on this program, ultimatly giving up. But much ground was gained, I established a name "The Rise of Darkness", well, a TEMPORARY name at least. I guess that wasn't THAT much ground, but, then again... It sucked. And I didn't have a dedicated line for it. So I scrapped Renegade and went right to work on a program called "PCBoard". Now, my highly elevated intelligence told me that "The Rise of Darkness" was not the name I had in mind. And after many seconds of pondering I came up with the name "ThE AsyLuM". And a Legend was born. Some of you from the 5i4 area might have heard of it. It was a pretty good warez board that sometimes gave away too many free credits. But all in all, it was a very successful venture. I started getting 0-2 day warez at one point. Contentness was mine. But, all good things must come to an end, and inevitably, so did this. My BBS inevitably lost it's uploaders, and I shut it down. Here is an advertizement from my BBS before it shut down. Now as we enter the Information age, I had to give up with BBS's. They were a dying breed. And by now, most of my friends already had it. So I had to abandon base. And so after having it for a month or two, on Monday April 13, 1998, I made my webpage. But I ran into a stalemate. The name "ThE AsyLuM" belonged to so many other sites. So I had to take another name, but it had to include AsyLuM somewhere. So I came up with AsyLuM Inc. (With a little help from "Sanitarium Inc.") Finally, Today being the 6th of November, 2001, the site is going under a MAJOR overhaul. Despite the fact that the old site did not work what so ever I decided that I coudl still salvage some of it. So what you see before you is a mix 'n match of what the old site was, and what the new site is going to be (will never be??). Well, I hope that these moments we've spent together were spiritually uplifting, or, something of the sort. (from last update: Yeah, I have nothing to say here. All's well in the history dept.) |
