Welcome to Gormaticon.

We're currently in Stealth, soon to enter Private Beta.

Add yourself to the beta key list. (We hate spam as much as you do, etc.)

I wouldn't do that.

Looks like another incarnation of Red Kore.

When I google gormaticon, the phrase only appears in a pdf document, one of which was attached to a unforum post.
And that pdf document refers to Red Kore.

Red Kore? I'm afraid I'm unaware of what you mean.

We even had a separate Forum.

It was (back in 2003) an "experience". Several of the community members even got laynards, but as near as we can tell, it was more hocus pocus that "experience".

It claimed to transport you to another dimension.
And none of us here were ever transported.

Ahhhh, I see. Well, by the time I made the post I'd already submitted my email, so I can't really avoid that but I suppose we'll just see what happens.

Hello.

Thank you for your interest in the Gormaticon Private Beta programme. We're as excited as you are about getting things moving. It's all coming very soon.

While we appreciate you may have some questions, due to the overwhelming response to the signup process, we're currently unable to respond to any inquiries.

(And besides, we're in Stealth.)

But your thoughts are with us. Additional channels will be opened at appropriate times.


The Gormaticon Team

I just went back to the site and noticed some new links. I don't think they were there before. They link to a short blog-esqu page.

gtsh running at last…

Suffice to say, we're delighted Smile

Certainly could have gone into Private Beta without it, but this'll make things a whole lot easier.

Yesterday, we opened ourselves to the world. (Or at least, as far as we can for now.)

#requests for Private Beta keys have already exceeded our wildest projections. This bodes well!

Beta key signup is available through the home page.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure what all that means. I guess we'll just have to keep an eye on it.

Well I guess that confirms this is Redkore related.
It also looks like he is trying to act like he's not involved. Link

Not anymore. There's a note on his site and on the gormaticon site saying that he's been hired "as a product development specialist."

While I have no real interest in this... whatever it is, I did think that line was pretty good.
