Note:
This website is primarily of historical interest. The main konspire2b network has been offline for a long time at this point. You can still download the software and use it to start your own konspire2b network, but do not expect everything to work the way it is described on this website. I do not want people wasting their time here. With those warnings in mind, enjoy!
