This site is an offshoot of Portsmouth Teen Reading Group’s wiki, teenreadinggroup, began by Dave. We would begin by talking about the books, but would find ourselves talking about other issues, such as politics. One day, a comment thread that had been about changes that wetpaint had made to site evolved into a discussion on world domination. This was all very well and good, until one day, a person calling himself Bill Gibron came amongst us, and ruined the safety and tranquillity for all…

“how dare u stand up for rights and freedom ?! u make out as if America doesnt protect us all - u fukin communists ! Id gladly bend u all over and give u the spankin u deserve that ur parents didnt give u - and a haircut cos u probably all are a bunch of smelly hippies ! If u wanna know how a real American feels and acts then check my site www.billgibron.wetpaint.com


shame on u”

we did not like this, as I am sure you can imagine, so we began to talk about him, about how evil he was, about what would happen to him when the revolution came, about how he would never find himself up against the wall, because the wall was too good for him, and all those like him. But there where problems. There was nothing to say that this was the real Bill Gibron, and we where unable to slag him off on a public site. We also realised that it was pointless talking about world domination on a public site, as people would see what we where up to, and may not like it. And so, this site was born. A private site, where we have absolute control over entry, where we can be free to be ourselves, without the concern of people like Bill.
