- pre-fall 96:
Scrye-L, a mailing list about the magazine Scrye, established. Few people care, fewer join.
- Around the fall of '96:
Since traffic on the list has since slowed to nothing some of the subscribers, or should we call them "inhabitants," of the list take it over. They convert it into its present state as "Silly-L," a mailing list community-thingie where anything goes.
- fall '96-spring '97:
Traffic on the list increases immensely, sometimes to 40 or 50 messages a day!
- July '97:
I join the list, and wonder why everyone's writing about some kid named Casper and his sticky keyboard. I was using Juno at the time, and wrote in using 3 or 4 different names.
- August '97:
I attempt to gather an army and take over other mailing lists in a similar fashion. Stupid people tell on me and access to Juno from my computer is mysteriously cut off...
- Fall '97-Winter '97:
I have no idea what happened because of my lack of email, but apparently the list slowed down quite a bit, cause when I finally did get email again, no one on the list answered me.
- Late January '98:
With the return of Ernie, the list has been reborn!
- Early Feb:
The conquest of MTG-L is again called for! Let's see how it goes this time.
- Friday, Feb. 13:
Conquest of MTG-L is called off, due to possible retribution of the citizens.
- Mid-late Feb:
Those idiots didn't realize I called off the war, so they emailed Hotmail with complaints! Bah, how pitiful. Unfortunately, my account "fulgore999@hotmail.com" was destroyed. Also, subscription status of Scrye-L has been closed because of our threat to WOTC, the company that owns the MTG-L mailing list.
- March, '98:
Ernie has gone into hiding. Jasper, "Atrifix" and I have emerged as the dominant voices on the list. The list doesn't really talk about stupid stuff anymore; mostly it's a home base for attacking other lists. I encourage anyone reading this to go to America Online's web page and download the AIM Instant Messenger. My screen name's Bommerman5. This how we communicate, offlist.
- April 6, 1998:
A dark day in the history of Silly-L. The mailing list, Scrye-L, has been deleted. We are a people without a home. Casper, now chief of Silly-L "Intelligence," quickly scrambles together a rough list of the people currently active in Silly society. We continue sending messages without the benefit of a list.
- April 11:
Silly-l is back! Casp discovered www.coollist.com, where he got us another free mailing list, silly-l@coollist.com. I also formed silly-2@coollist.com, with a more complete subscription list than Casp's. No one can stop us. We have been attacked many times by the NetSec and WOTC. They've deleted accounts, closed and erased our list, and even threatened to sue! We will never be defeated.
- May 20:
Due to problems with Coollist constantly breaking down, I have created yet another Silly-L! This time, at http://www.onelist.com. The link to join the new silly-l is below.
