Illuminati Online - interesting find

Hey how is this for a strange occurance of events?

I read somewhere that W's web hoster was called Illuminati Online, so sure enough I did an internet search and came up with this:

www.io.com

Obviously no Bush reference, and it appears they changed their name to PrismNet, but still have that wonderful pyramid there.

So I dig a bit further and look what I found:

1) See the little faded dot at the bottom left of the PrismNet page. Click on it.
2) Brings you to a webpage called www.sinkingquagmire.com (Iraq reference?)
3) Highlight the whole page with your mouse, all the way to the bottom. It will make a second invisible "dot" appear in the middle of the page. Click on it.

A very massive e-mail list of who!?

Very bizarre.

Weird. How did you figure this out?

I have no idea, just pure chance. Once I saw I could click on that tiny dot on the main page, I knew something was fishy there.

Talk about weird.

Actually Illuminati Online was a ISP based in Texas owned or at least partnered with Steve Jackson of Steve Jackson Games maker of the Illuminati and New World Order, and GURPS Role Playing Games. I used to live in Texas and had an account through them. They were bought by a company and call it PrismNet. the
www.io.com... is for prior Illuminati Online customers.

for the original before being bought.

Really cool service actually.

-edit-
Correction. SJ Games was only doing business through them. Sorry.
Also they were Illuminati Online only until 02/24/01 when they became IOCOM
web.archive.org...://www.io.com/
between 02/23/02 and 06/04/02 they became IOCOM Corporation
web.archive.org...://www.io.com/index.html
web.archive.org...://www.io.com/
and www2.prismnet.com... is the new site.

Enjoy.

Interesting. Have you tried e-mailing anyone. Not to assume that you'll find anything remotely called a source, but the response might be worth the effort.
