darkwave.org.uk has been providing services for the UK net.goth community since 1995. It is a completely non-profit organisation, funded only out of dishmops pocket.

There's a whole bunch of people who have contributed to the net.goth community in some way or other - try checking out the alt.gothic or uk.people.gothic FAQs for more of them. Don't forget that we keep a list of the top twenty site content contributors - so if your name is there, give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy the warm glow of smug satisfaction you deserve.
Finally if you ever see me down the pub, just remember that you probably should buy this poor overworked soul a drink, eh? ;) |
