darkness were distributed in local high schools and record shops . it later became a web site on geocities which housed a variety of humorous articles and rants . barr also registered other sites on geocities under several aliases and made them all a part of the visionary darkness web site . after a few years of building up the popularity of these sites barr registered the i mockery.com domain name in august 1999 to house all of his humor sites under the same roof and to avoid geocities increasingly slow performance . the i mockery name was created as a spoof of all the corporate web sites
