In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move" - Douglas Adams
THE SITE
The beginning of the DMT-Nexus however was one of an urgent need. The DMT-World website had just disappeared and one person called BlackClo thought it was needed to fill the void with a new website dedicated to DMT, this became the DMT-Nexus. The site was hosted at
www.blackclover.com.au (now defunct).
ME
One day, I came home from the pub with just one, nagging, thought in my mind: "Is this all there is? There must be more and I need to find it!". With this trivial mind-bubblegum set that I was chewing I knew I had to change things. I had heard of this strange substance called DMT and I HAD to know more about it, the time had come to get involved.
So began my search for the spirit molecule.
ME AND THE DMT-NEXUS
When I first came to the then DMT-Nexus it was still very small and there were barely people posting. Five posts a week could be considered as a good week.
The person running the site was a modest man with his heart in the right place, once you read his posts you knew he was something special.
I read all the info on the forum, asked some questions and started my DMT journeys.
However, after a few months it was clear that the DMT-Nexus was growing and that a lot of people were reading the forum. The monthly limit of available bandwidth was steadily reached faster and faster, up till the moment it was not viable anymore. This was the moment that I offered to Blackclo to host the DMT-Nexus on my own server, plenty of bandwidth there. Blackclo happily agreed and the whole site was moved. This was also the time I registered the dmt-nexus.me domain.
THE TAKE OVER
After the movement of the site to my server the DMT-Nexus had all the space to grow and so it did. While the DMT-Nexus was growing steadily Blackclo got more and more concerned about the DMT-Nexus and if he was doing the right thing with a site like this. This reached its climax when Blackclo told me he wanted to stop with the DMT-Nexus.
As I told Blackclo before, the site was completely his and I would comply with all his wishes, even closing it, changing it completely or handing it over. I asked him one thing however: I asked if I could keep the forum since it was my sincere thought that it would be a terrible thing to waste. At first he wasn't sure about giving the forum to me but later on he agreed that this would be best. What also changed was that he decided to create his own, new, website and that I could keep the DMT-Nexus domain.
This was the start of me as the administrator of the DMT-Nexus.
AFTER THE TAKE OVER
Since then the DMT-Nexus has changed a lot. The pages behind the front page changed, a Wiki was added, the forum got cleaned up and got many new subfora, we slightly shifted to focus from DMT only to also include other entheogens, projects were started like the Hyperspace lexicon and the Enigmaticus, an Attitude and FAQ were included and as our latest great addition we included a chat function.
WHERE TO NOW?
With the DMT-Nexus we will continue increasing and spreading our knowledge of DMT and other entheogens. As a hint I can already tell you that something big with 'expanding resonance' will be added to the DMT-Nexus projects collection soon.
I'm sure I missed a lot of things in this story, I hope the other mods will chime in and add their story to it and maybe in time I will add more of the blanks. I hope you enjoyed reading it.
Kind regards,
