About Mad Saxuality

Mad Saxuality

What exactly is Mad Saxuality? When we figure it out, we'll let you know. Just Kidding. Mad Saxuality is the corruption assoicated with band. Its when the senior doesn't get section leader or caption over the sophomore. Its when you can work your hardest, but if you're not the favorite you will never get what you deserve. Why the name 'Mad Saxuality'? If you haven't figured it out already, Saxuality is a pun about the Musical instrument the Saxophone and todays society of Sex. And hey.. it makes a cool slogan. What better way to attract people's curiousity!

Purpose

Right now 10eris's purpose is to bring out the topics of bands all over. Whether they deal with conspiracy, or just band members thoughts, its a braod range of topics that are allowed here.

History : The First 2 Years

This site layout and design was made by Andrew Festa(a.k.a 10eris the First). It was first created in November of 1997 as a site just to say 'Look I have a web site!' This was prompted by Josh Arden making a page before everyone else. No one accually knows for sure if Josh still has his pages for they aren't realy that visited.

10eris, was being over shadowed by Andy's AndyLand website, which used Geocities as it's server. Sometime in February, He changed to format to include band rumors, which hit big. After all, Expage provided an excelllent interface to jsut go in and add a rumor, as opposed of making HTML with GeoCities. "10eris's Page of Mad Saxuality", spawned "Home of the Divder"(now Joes's Jokes), which at first tried the same thing, but eventually became it's own unique page.

The one thing all the Expages had in common was their cheer for their section "Go Divder", "Clarinets Rules!", etc. The prompeted an anonomus person called 'bandmember'(who had origianlly prompted Andy to redo 10eris to Rumors instead of crap), to make his own site entitled "All Sections are Bad". He had what now one else had - a poll. His site got taken down a couple days later for saying some unfavorable opinons about certain people(who obvioulsly can't take a joke) In May, bandmember conviced Andy to add a poll to 10eris. The first poll : "What should I do with this site", started off everyone else getting polls too. The pages grew even more. Now each encorporated Polls, and more sites poped up like "Fruity Flutes", "The Guitar Player", and "The Drummers Page"

For a brief time in late June, Andy created the "Toms River HS South Students WebRing" had 10eris host it temporarily, and became the first site to join in on the newly created WebRing. In July, the Andy moved the Webring to it's own space in GeoCites where it could grow larger and allow students to join easily.

When Andy moved the webring, he passed the page to another (whom has yet to be identified). 10eris the Second, added Instrument Jokes to format. Prompted by some questioning of band ethics, He/she/it/them created 10eris's Opinions where anyone could write how they felt.

With Andy's help, He/She/It/Them, recreated the entire layout using frames, GeoCities, and Expage, to create the largest site on the webring. 10eris's SITE of Mad Saxuality was put right where AndyLand used to be.

Due to some server problems with Geocities (nicknamed GeoShities), 10eris was foreced to find a new address, and its now in its present location of Athens/Styx/8685. 10eris II gave up the reins when the interest was lost. (Maybe it was because 10eris I & II started seeing each other on romantic terms instead of working on the website). After short updates every once in a while, Mad Saxuality became old, and no one would take over. All the other expages fell of the face of the internet, and the webring was in a lull.

With some altering, Andy changed the webring and attracted more users, and he hopes to do the same with Mad Saxuality. 10eris II offically gave up the reins in December 98, and Andy took it over again, trying to spawn some life into it. Unfortuatly there was never enough time. He closed the site for renervations on 6/26 and it reopened a month and a day later on 7/27.

Now it has a new mission: To attract more people to the site, let them speak their mind, and let other people debate or agree with them in hopes some director is reading it and will change their ways. Bands everywhere are exactly the same, and maybe one day Mad Saxuality will be the start of something new...
