Jerry Decker runs Keelynet.com, which offers alternative health and energy information. Keelynet started out as a text file based bbs system in the late 1980's, and a considerable archive of files were quickly accumulated, which formed the subsequent basis for the development of the Keelynet brand. In 1995 Keelynet moved off its old bbs system, and embraced the brave new world of the internet. Limited use was made of the graphical possibilities offered by the web, but this change opened up the Keelynet brand for the first time to a truly global audience. The failure to make use of multimedia formats such a low bit rate audio interviews, remains a puzzling and ongoing omission of the website.
The enormous content advantage Keelynet had, and that fact that Jerry Decker was genuinely passionate about alternative matters, rapidly ensured that Keelynet became the center of the free energy universe. In fact, it was pretty much the only game in town, and as one of the early websites with a sizable and loyal group of followers, the Keelynet brand quickly became an internationally recognized trademark. During the heady days of the internet madness it is rumored Decker was made several multi million dollar offers for the url, which he always made a great show of declining. Of course, post dot com bust, the offers dried up.
However, in 1998 the Keelynet movement received a major blow, when Cheyenne Turner who managed the 'Eclectic Viewpoint' movement died. Decker said of her, "Cheyenne has been a major fountain of inspiration and source of information with her Eclectic Viewpoint activities. She is a major light on the scene, and has begun many careers and opened many peoples’ eyes to things most never become aware of." Worse still was the manner in which Cheyenne died, with her bone cancer a constant source of excruciating pain, while lung cancer slowly killed here, making her gasp for breath over even the smallest of exertions.Watching her die was said to have broken the heart of many of her friends, including Decker, and probably other members of the Keelynet inner circle.
Shortly afterwards, the internet bubble began to burst, and Decker found his multi million dollar website now carried little value. These two events together appear to have conspired to induce a mental breakdown of some kind in Jerry Decker, since the website went silent, and was hardly updated for a year or so. The near daily updates we were used to at one point came to an end, and the modern Keelynet seems more interested in page views and rankings, than the old fashioned pursuit of the 'eclectic viewpoint,' for its own sake, and it appeared Keelynet.com as a living entity was dead.
However, claims of the death of Keelynet proved premature, and a re-branded Keelynet.com website emerged. The new Keelynet was obsessed with page views and rankings, and it is a regular feature of the 'new' Keelynet discussion lists, that such data are regularly posted. So while the wonderful archives remain, I can not help but feel the spirit has passed on, and Keelynet is a tribute to something that is past, rather than a waypost to what is to come.
