After 20 years of free information, lulz, shock videos and thoughtful flames and discussion, The Temple of the Screaming Electron is shutting down. TOTSE, or totse, or &t, was one of the largest text-file databases on the internet. Topics ranged from Anarchy to drugs, to politics in general, and so much more. If you want to know where a young radical got started, it was here. The sheer multitude of input from thousands of people was an amazing thing, and even though everyone got pwned at some point, all the n00bs had some sort of strange, masochistic/sadistic kinship with each other. I'm sorry to see it go. It was one of my favorite places to go in the internet.

Wow! I've never heard of that. What exactly is going on to make it close its doors? It sounds like it would be a really cool place to check out.
The site manager is just burnt out from all of the upkeep. It was my favorite place to hang, and I'll miss it, but I wont forget it.
:(
I wish that I would have known about it before. I would have definately gone to it. Is there any other places like it?
Sadly, I really dont think that there is. the copycat sites are just populated by stupid people, and they're not fun anyway. I wish there was...
That sucks.
