I was around then, and I was/am interested in things like this, and I paid zero attention to these things because I didn't know about these things, because things like these just weren't well known like they are now. there weren't entire categories of Wikipedia articles about things like this. there weren't widespread communities welcoming new users or lots of YouTube videos explaining everything and getting viewers excited. yes, that was the time to be into Inferno and projects like it, but the entire internet was a different place. Maybe I just wasn't looking in the right places for this stuff or maybe I was too invested in other things, but I recall these things being terribly hard to penetrate even if you did find out about them.
