Sunday, May 9, 1999 12:57:47 AM - After several false starts over the years, the site that would become Farlops Industries goes online at Tripod in late 1998. The records are sketchy before that but, it began as an experiment on CompuServe’s member pages in 1996. Then it was variously called the
Ministry of Information and the Disco Temple of Comedy. The public’s response was mild at best, alarmed at worst and, as such, it’s early history is best left buried.
