Imagine a world where Geeks wander the streets, huddle reclusively in front of computers, and simply are without purpose or direction. You see, my fellow Geeks, there was a time where Geeks were split into pockets of physically challenged social rejects. Forced to struggle for contact through e-mail, snail-mail, and *gasp* phone conversations. That world, however incomprehensible, was what our world was before UberGeek and its parent site, Geekdom.

Geekdom was created by Jim Gowan (Eclectic Technologies) in 2002 as a meeting place for a small group of Geeks, many had not met each other but were members of Geek groups that knew the great and powerful programmer, Jim. Word of mouth spread and membership grew. Geeks chatted, blogged, and surveyed. Ideas of rule variants, game preferences, uber-helpful DM suggestions, and random useless information was all passed betweem the members. Where these ideas would typically be kept amongst select groups, Geekdom became the de facto melting pot of information. Geeks learned. Geeks were happy.

Despite Geekdom's awesome power, it lacked moderation. While the desired Geek Utopia lasted for quite some time, it was soon inevitable that moderation was required. Because Geekdom had been founded on its Utopia principle, moderation would be against all that Geekdom was meant to be. Sadly, the site was closed and once again Geeks were turned into the urban wilderness to fend for themselves.

The loss of Geekdom wore on the very souls of the Geeks who had partaken in the gaming community. The longing of once again reuniting Geeks through electronic means brought about UberGeek. Fashioned in a similar manner to Geekdom, UberGeek was created. However, the knowledge that a Utopian Geek society (as any Utopian society) is impossible, brought about the UberGeek policies. With fingers crossed, high hopes, and an overwhelming urge to eat Strawberry Gushers we wait for the success of UberGeek.
