Q. Just what is X-Ville?
A. X-Ville is a fictional (probably...) place where anything can happen. Basically the point is to have a laugh and to have fun. Lots of fun.
Q. How did all this X-Ville stuff start?
A. X-Ville started life sometime in Octoberish 1996 as the X-Files Chamber Of Commerce, and exploded in popularity into full blown X-Ville by December.
Q. How do I join X-Ville?
A. Well first of all, you have to be able to subscribe to the alt.tv.x-files.x-ville newsgroup. If you can't get that, then I'm afraid you simply can't join X-Ville, as there's no way for you to interact with the other residents. If you are subscribed to the newsgroup, then I'd suggest first of all, that you read all the posts for about a week, and decide on your persona then. When you're happy with it, simply post it to the newsgroup (alt.tv.x-files.x-ville) and you're ready to start interacting with the other residents!
Q. Who's in charge of X-Ville?
A. Quite a few people assume that because I run the homepage, I own/run X-Ville, I don't. No-one does, it belongs entirely to the residents.
Q. How can I find out more information about X-Ville?
A. [Self-plug mode ON] Simply browse around the site.[Self-plug mode OFF]. We also have a channel on DAL-Net, #X-Ville, which, last time I checked, Mortis was in charge of.
Q. What are "Trolls"?
A. Trolls are people who post offensive, boring or stupid messages to the newsgroup. Previous examples of troll postings include:
Q. What are "'Shippers"?
A. "'Shippers" (relationshippers) are people who wish Mulder and Scully would just end the tension and jump into bed together.
