Dunno - you need to read everything before you can understand it. It becomes better the more you read it, I find. You could work your way down the menu reading every page, but you'd have to keep going back to check references that you previously didn't uderstand. I really have no clue where to start. Just read!
To fully understand the site, you need to fully understand the vast in-joke it's based around. This is baitly impossible, since you're not us, however, it's possible to come close to finding out as much as you can about the period 1996 - 2001 surrounding Lab6, around which this pirate yearbook is written. The best way of doing this is to read absolutely everything on this site, as you'll probably learn a lot (some of it has a point, as well as being a diary of near anarchy). You may get an idea of who the people are, but don't worry if you don't. The in-joke is accentuated by strange comments and pictures scattered throughout. Comments are the asterisk's, which you can click on to read. Some of the more unusual and odd pictures carry messages that may help you in your quest to understand The Joke.
Because of the history of this site, I have tried to design it with minimal use of graphics. The only pictures you'll see regularly are this yellow background, the Lab6 logo, and the pictures that can be found lying around the pages. By the final release date, I'm hoping everybody will have fast internet connections (ISDN, ADSL, Cable etc.) either at home or through somewhere else (say... a school). If that's true (which it probably won't be), the site will be incredibly fast. A-ha!
It's changed. The button takes you out of the Yearbook, and back to Lab6, while the box allows you to enter your password to access private sections (for OUR eyes only).
This is the fun of 1996-2001 in a DECENT form. We tried it once, but got a bit 'carried away' and ended up becoming some form of minor deity, much to our delight, yet much to our inevitable trouble.
Helping with the school yearbook was tried, but was unsuitable as it was found to be a MACHINATION OF SCOUNDRELS. That is, a zombie pleasing, no-jocular-whimsy collection of weak articles by squeaky GC's and laugh-happy Ped's, poking the very mildest of fun at the school. Unacceptable.
The EULA will disappear in 2001, when we've left the school for good.
The basic site is open to everybody now (still with EULA protection, unfortunately), but the passworded bits will remain hidden until the abovementioned release date, for the abovementioned reasons, as if abovementioned is a real word.
It turns out that the site may be made 'free' far sooner than expected. Hehe... not even the police will be able to get me!
At the beginning of January 1999, we thought it would be a good idea to start a newsgroup - alt.khs. They didn't like this as it would require thousands of servers to carry our tiny little newsgroup, so we just went and got a messageboard instead, which worked fine. This was the beginning of Lab6 - 17th January 1999. The initial site was just the messageboard and a bit on advertising (which is in the yearbook now, or will be as soon as it's uncensored), but it eventually grew to several articles, one of which was about the recent OFSTED inspection of our school, which got us into untold trouble for extracting only the bad quotes. However, after a couple of weeks, the site was back under a new guise, and completely alright, with all the private bits hidden away from the casual observer.
A bit later, the c0lonel busted us by having a good old look through our internet cache at school and finding some of the private area stuff, apparently. And yet nothing happened, so the site was once again back within 10 days. This time, it had the EULA, which protects us from pretty much anything they can throw at us. And so the story continues...
