A snarky fake Linux terminal for your website. Members can sign up for the LAN in it.

Operations
What it does
Press the backtick key on any page and a shell opens where pages are folders: ls, cd, cat, find, grep, pipes, aliases, history, Tab completion and error messages with attitude. With the Event Manager, members sign up and pick their seat from the prompt; with Store Credit they check and pay their bill. Our home page runs it inline in the hero.
In action
The 404 page is a shell
Whoever lands on an address that doesn’t exist gets a full-screen terminal with the 404 as ASCII art, a remark and suggestions for similar pages.
In action
Attitude and access
Polite, mildly snarky or super snarky. Who may open the terminal, and each command, is set per group; mandatory mode makes it the only way through the site for guests, while search engines and screen readers still get the normal page.
