The making of a Sim...


The Internet was young. The tyrant of the "Online Service" still reigned supreme. OPI was not even a notion back then. The sim was an immediate derivative of the popular Fox show, The X-Files.
On Wednesday and Friday nights (that's right there were two) the original Simsters met in an AOL chat room, with quickened pulses, and notebooks in hand.
Technology took a turn when the Public caught the Internet craze. To facilitate this hunger, and the sudden vacuum of AOL, the sim was moved to IRC, on the Undernet circuit. Due to copyright issues, the Sim was forced to change its name. The sim remained on Undernet until the evil Punty and Lag took over, as masses of people flocked to the Undernet channels - it was time to move again.
DALnet has been our home since then. But as time changes, so do people, and many of our original Agents are gone. Though they will be missed, a new breed of fresh agents has continued the vibrant spirit of XFSIM, into the OPI age. Good job, guys.
