Welcome to the new RAWilsonFans.com!

by quackenbush on March 30, 2012

Over 10 years ago, I discovered that I could save word documents as html files and upload them to my ISP user home page, and RAWilsonFans was born out of the alt.fan.rawilson FAQAFUQ (Frequently Answered Questions and Frequently Unanswered Questions), the Crowley article from The Realist, and The Chocolate Biscuit Conspiracy mp3s liberated from Napster.    Marc “elmyr” Lutter developed the original FAQAFUQ with the help of many of the alt.fan.rawilson regulars back around 1999-2000 and I always felt it needed a more prominent presence on the web.    Over the years, I’ve received contributions from a variety of folks across the infosphere and wish I had kept better records on all that.   Wilson-heads Eric Wagner and Michael “RMJon23″ Johnson deserve special mention for their extensive help, advice, and contributions, and now RAW blogger Tom Jackson deserves a shout-out for his recent efforts in analog to digital conversion.

A few years ago, Joseph Matheny began hosting this site on the Alterati servers, and now he has converted the base site to this new platform.  With the new platform, we’ve gone through and updated all the links and content, and added a wealth of new material that has emerged over the past year or two.  Take a look around and fnord.

The Prophets Conference, 2000

April 4, 2012

Here is Wilson’s talk at the December 2000 Prophets Conference.   I appreciate Richard Metzger’s commentary on this appearance as I recall that Wilson was banned from appearing the next year due to the organizers taking offense at his swearing.   In fact, somebody once posted the rejection letter “they” sent him to the usenet group alt.fan.rawilson: Dear [...]
