mymems was fake right? There's no way it wasn't created by Jan or Sam.

If anyone hasn't seen this, I recommend watching it right away. Its easily the best part of kstv season 1

Here's some courtesy autism because I liked MyMems.

All the actual content on MyMems has long been removed. Unfortunately, none of the public archivers (e.g. IA's Wayback) have a snapshot at a time when any of it was still present, making this all harder to look into. Going by memory, I believe there was an update to the site between the filming and publishing of the KSTV episode because what Sam showcased was very different from what I experienced: a complex web of pages strung together as a proof of concept, very similar to a corporate project pitch. I distinctly remember a badly-tiled lightning background which was never featured on KSTV. This all appears lost to time, though. It's also not relevant to this case but I wanted to make a record of it.

Now, the Wayback Machine isn't completely useless. While it doesn't have a snapshot of the few months during which the site actually had content, it does have a much earlier snapshot featuring a completely different site, right after the domain was purchased off of a domain reseller ( https://web.archive.org/web/20140517155347/http://mymems.com/ ). This site was for "Rent-Ready FAST!", a would-be computer service operation by one Ben Engel. An ad for this service was taken in the October 15th of 2015 edition of some local newspaper, The Konawa Leader, with the same phone number. See picture.

That site was likely originally hosted on rentready.co, a URL featured on the early snapshot from the previous paragraph. That domain, in turn, only has snapshots featuring the MyMems site ( https://web.archive.org/web/20150324011035/http://www.rentready.co/ ). However, it was only snapped in 2015 and onwards despite being registered in 2013. It's likely that Ben abandoned the RRF website to host MyMems and that both domains pointed to the same server for a time. Consider that both sites are made in the same style and with the same tools (Visual Studio Web Form Editor). Ben Engel also shows up in the credits for MyMems as a "Technical Consultant": http://mymems.com/credits.html

If it's a troll, it's very elaborate considering the tiny audience and the timespan (2013 to several months after the release of KSTV). My thinking back when KSTV came out was that MyMems started as a school project and was thrown at the then-current crowdfunding meme by an over-optimistic kid. Given my gay little investigation here, this stance has not changed. I'd guess that Ben was either a teacher of Aaron Anderson (the MyMems guy) or somehow a friend of the Anderson family.
