The site, in 2002
A fact-checking site that looks into urban legends, rumours and viral claims. It began life as the Urban Legends Reference Pages.
David Mikkelson took the name from a family of unpleasant characters in William Faulkner's novels, first as his username on Usenet. By 2010 the site drew seven to eight million visitors a month.
In 2002: Known well enough that a television pilot, Snopes: Urban Legends, was filmed, though it did not air on major networks.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
