| This network and conference is designed as an experiment in erasing all the lines that appear in the other networks as to what you can and can't say. Its purpose is to allow flights of fantasy and violent profane and pornographic humour to be developed by the users. It's purpose is to find out what happens in a group electronic environment when rules of conduct are eliminated. It seeks to attract expressive users with vivid imaginations who are tired of what they think is mundane in networking. Which to a real extent is BANAL BULLSHITTING.... Its secondary purpose is to provide an electronic meeting place for some of the sickest motherfuckers who have ever used a keyboard. |

Sign up for the mailing list. Loosen your screws. Might do you some good.
If you can't be offensive, then why bother?
Bytebrothers was originally an electronic sewer from back in the BBS days (pre-Internet), actually a support conference for software written by Jimmy Pearson (the late, lamented Head Devil). Since an unmoderated conference on one of the stuffy BBS message networks tweaked too many higher-ups, we soon found ourselves cast out and formed our own echomail network, LuciferNet.
Like a monster created by a mad scientist, no one could figure out how to kill it off, and the conference grew legs and crawled out of the BBS sea once the Internet became available to ordinary shitheads like us, first as alt.bytebrothers, which lasted about three seconds (something about creating a new top-level domain pissed off even more stuffy admin types) and then evolved into a couple of mailing lists.
LNet had/has nothing to do with Lucifer and everything to do with unrestricted free speech and outrageous humor.
FYDITM!
