Anti-social Software: Network Your Nemesis-es!

June 13, 2005 7:46 PM

Nemester"an online community that connects paranoids, egotists, villains, and monomaniacs through networks of competing agendas and incompatable ideologies", (and the ideal social web for MetaFilter members).
From the entertainingly paranoid Lyle Zapato, who previously brought us Metric Time (MeFi'd), the Republic of Cascadia homepage (MeFi'd), the Pacific Tree Octopus (MeFi'd) and the Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie (Re-pea-ted-ly MeFi'd). Via my closest enemy, PreSurfer.

"You cannot join at this time unless you are an enemy of Mr. Zapato or an enemy of his enemies (up to three degrees of enmity) and have been E-Taunted™ into joining." Come on, SOMEBODY at MeFi must be in - quonsar?

This site has been in beta since at least last December.

Actually it's been in beta since May 2003, which is why I'm so surprised it's never been MeFi'd... It is SO us.

Christ, I wish I could sign up.

I guess I'll just go browse alt.conspiracy.new-world-order instead. Fools.

The web has done more to help the growth of public circle-jerks than any other force in history.

presurfer is hosted at meepzorp, where we often sit around in our aluminum foil deflector beanies and dine upon fresh pacific northwest tree octopii. but no, i'm not on zapoti's n-list.

Thanks for the post. Mr. Zapato (aka Zao Shoo) will rue the day he amused me so, with his clever content and eye pleasing graphics. Is it just my lack of a Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie, or does this Mr. Zapato bear a striking resemblance to the notorious Cascadian skyjacker DB Cooper?

I'm working hard to make an enemy of PreSurfy in the hope that he can send me an E-Taunt. But if you keep calling him zapoti, q-man, you may be on the fast track... Maybe we could license the software for a NemeFilter?

My evil self is at the door, and I have no power to stop it.

The skyjacker DB Cooper? So that's where Nemester got its seed capital...

Ow. You owe me a retina, Mr. Bluesky.

(That's got to be one of the most annoying backgrounds ever. I think I'll put it on our tech support pages...)
