Alphaville (circa 2000) forever rules as sim-anarchy's crowning achievement. Without moderation it quickly became saturated with the worst crimes people can come up with.

The Alphaville Herald was dedicated to it; the blog continued on for years, after the sim was shut down. This Salon article references the mag https://web.archive.org/web/20040217030353/http://www.salon....

Alphaville is one of my favorite pieces of internet history but it wasn't ever really documented. It's hard to find anything about it now.

I've never heard of it before, but the Alphaville Herald and all of its archives are still online: http://alphavilleherald.com/archives
