I know you were wondering: SDF stands for Super Dimension Fortress, or at least that's what they tell a noob.
"a networked community of free software authors, teachers, students, researchers, hobbyists, enthusiasts and the blind. It is operated as a federally recognised non-profit 501c7 and is supported by its members."
...
"Our mission is to provide remotely accessible computing facilities for the advancement of public education, cultural enrichment, scientific research and recreation. Members can interact electronically with each other regardless of their location using passive or interactive forums. Further purposes include the recreational exchange of information concerning the Liberal and Fine Arts."
...
"Members have access to games, email, usenet, chat, bboard, gopherspace, webspace, programming utilities, archivers, browsers, and more. The SDF community is made up of caring, highly skilled people who operate behind the scenes and in the underground to maintain a non-commercial INTERNET."
SDF is a bizarre part of the internet / well-kept gem of a secret. Bob Odenkirk hosts his website there, which is something I wouldn't have expected.
I should also note that Tom Ellard of Severed Heads (sevcom.com) has been an active member of SDF since 1995 as well. ;SMJ
