what do you know about TOTSE=the temple of the screaming electron?
ChatGPT
TOTSE (Temple of the Screaming Electron) was an early online community and website that existed from the late 1980s to 2009. Here are some key points about TOTSE:
Origins: TOTSE began as a Bulletin Board System (BBS) in the late 1980s before transitioning to a website in the 1990s.
Content: The platform was known for hosting a vast array of text files on a wide range of topics. Some of these were controversial, including guides on hacking, drug synthesis, and other fringe or underground subjects. However, it also had content on more mainstream topics, such as philosophy, religion, science, and technology.
Community: Over time, TOTSE developed a dedicated online community. The forums were a significant part of the website, and users would discuss everything from politics to personal stories. For many, TOTSE was a place where they could freely express themselves and discuss subjects that might be considered taboo elsewhere.
Closure: The website was shut down in 2009 by its founder, Jeff Hunter. While the reasons were multifaceted, increased scrutiny, the possibility of legal issues due to the nature of some of its content, and changing times were among the reasons cited.
Legacy: After TOTSE closed, several spin-off communities and websites emerged, created by former TOTSE members, to continue the spirit of the original site. Many users remember TOTSE as an iconic representation of the early, "wild west" days of the internet, where content was less regulated, and communities were more tight-knit.
Controversies: Given the nature of some of its content, TOTSE was often a point of contention. Some saw it as a bastion of free speech, while others criticized it for hosting potentially harmful or illegal information.
It's essential to approach the legacy of TOTSE with a nuanced perspective, recognizing its importance in the history of online communities while also understanding the challenges and controversies it faced.

What is the the most popular spinoff off TOTSE?
ChatGPT
One of the most notable and popular spin-offs of TOTSE is Zoklet. After TOTSE closed in 2009, many former members migrated to Zoklet to continue the spirit and discussions that were characteristic of TOTSE. Zoklet had similar forums and discussions, but like TOTSE, it also faced its share of controversies due to the nature of some content. Zoklet itself eventually shut down, and the community dispersed further.
That said, while Zoklet was one of the primary destinations for former TOTSE members, there were other smaller communities and forums that popped up over the years. The nature of the internet means that communities often fragment, evolve, and move to different platforms over time.

Zoklet is closed.
ChatGPT
Yes, Zoklet did close down some years after its inception, much like TOTSE before it. After Zoklet's closure, the community once again dispersed, with some members migrating to other forums or creating new ones, and others possibly drifting away from such communities entirely.
The closures of sites like TOTSE and Zoklet highlight the transient nature of many online communities, especially those that delve into controversial or fringe topics. But they also underscore the lasting impact that such communities can have, as former members often reminisce or seek out new spaces to recreate the sense of community they once had.

What about NIGGAS in SPACe?
ChatGPT
"NIGGAS in SPACe" (often abbreviated as NiS) is one of the spin-offs that emerged in the wake of TOTSE's closure. It was created as a space for former TOTSE members and others to congregate, share ideas, and continue discussions. Over time, like TOTSE and Zoklet, it developed its own unique community culture and characteristics.
It's worth noting that the name of the site, "NIGGAS in SPACe," might be seen as controversial or offensive due to its use of racial language. As with many online communities, especially those that have their roots in the earlier, less regulated days of the internet, it's essential to approach them with a nuanced understanding of their historical and cultural context.
If you're interested in these communities or their histories, it might be beneficial to engage directly with former or current members to get a first-hand account of their experiences and perspectives.

Fuck I don't even remember that shit.
Fucking LOL
My experience is it will give different answers depending on how you approach inquiries. it's kind of buggy. it will appologize if you tell it that it is wrong and then it will suddenly pull up other information. I have some PDF and Full Thread jpgs I saved on a disc some months back.
It's interesting that Speedy aka Darth Beaver was mentioned. not sure why. I think someone programmed that shit into it. it was related to I think Electronic Chicken or NirvanaNet but not Totse.
My understanding is something something American Systems/Blackwater n G getting into trouble and his drunken night of talks of Order of the Eastern Star (which used to be Black Masonic Wives but then White Wives wanted to join too and then none white Male members being apart of that)
American Systems is what Jeff Hunter designed his A'lpha Application Program?
thats what a person in Berkeley told me. SUP Spec, say some more BS
