I really did think, though, that the proudly-printed web address in that elusive edition of Fortean Times was indeed an initial Dundee Uni hosting of a rough web-version of magazine extracts, and at least
some sort-of FT Message Board...? It did receive proper billing in the magazine (which for FT, in the house-style we love, which was of course understated-but-seminally-significant : and many of us even back then knew it It Was Something Big)
This was
so long ago, companies around that time (such as Audi- see
https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/web-design-history/audi-com-the-first-partially-responsive-website-2001) were able to generate marketing interest just by sheer dint of possessing & touting these curious cryptic internetwork location address thingmybobs, and displaying it within their tv, cinema & print advertising. Magazines were being printed in that era which consisted (oddly) of thousands of fractured URLs and attempted absolute IP addresses, and strange website 'reviews' - with liberal lashings of AOL, Netscape, Compuserve.....I wonder if FT's pixelated production prototype was ever cited (or slated) within one of these circularly self-sacrificing paper periodical directories?
