One of the hallowed traditions of alt.gothic is the Netscrape. Traditionally this was held in September, to catch the influx of clueless newbies who had just got net access at university. Later it came to be held once every six months, as that was the only way to keep up. Now it's back to once a year, appearing regularly in February.

Throughout most of its lifetime there has been a designated Keeper of the Netscrape. The first of these Keepers was Oddlystrange. In later years the Netscrape came to be looked after on a rather anarchic basis, with regulars being encouraged to post one when they felt like it. This system led to several disputes when competing versions were published simultaneously, and when various people said that other people's Netscrapes were stupid, so it was eventually abandoned.
