It's a slow day on //CryptoNet//. In fact, it's always a slow day on the self-professed 'Largest cryptid-hunting forum in the UK!'((Other, more enthusiastic people have claimed CryptoNet to be the largest criptid forum in the world, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary)), where self-professed Cryptanoraks, conspiracy wonks and - supposedly - ordinary people meet up to discuss the latest supernatural and conspiratorial goings-on in the UK. | It's a slow day on //CryptoNet//.

With the growth of the internet to new, unprecedented levels, new users have been making their way onto the site for a while, and with it the community has grown to the point that [[encounters|small, IRL meetups]] have been starting to occur. Not that it's been easy to coax some of the more paranoid members out of their hidey-holes. | With the growth of the internet to new, unprecedented levels, new users have been making their way onto the site for a while, and with it the community has grown to the point that [[encounters|small, IRL meetups]] have been starting to occur.
