I was on a mission to discover this new thing called cyber space and probably typed 'design' in altavista.digital.com (search didn't even have an own domain then) and newstoday.com came up.
or maybe someone on irc (I used to hang out in the undernet) told me about this forum on the www.
I liked it because it was well designed with the functionality in the 4 columns and had all this amazing content from designers who liked computers from all around the world. also the public voice was something new to me, I could ask stuff and get answers here.
a big chunk of my knowledge about computers and design came out of this site. there were not a lot of coder / designers around me irl at that time. I think I learned Illustrator from lifeinvector, asked a lot of AS2 questions and later AE questions here and always got better answers than my teachers had in design school.
- Weren’t lifeinvector and transfatty an item at one stage?mort_
- might be the case, they prob. dated or posted something about it in public voice.uan
- I also recall one night somebody was desperate or hungry and transfatty ordered a pizza for that person. that virtual community story blew my mind.uan
- Ha, sweet. What a gent!mort_
