User:Goodkingnige

GoodKingNige was an experimental attempt to introduce anarchical functions into websearches. The username GoodKingNige (sometimes abbreviated to GKN) was used from various forums to post radical interpretations to standard posts - the generic rules being that a) no standards dictated by the host organisation should be broken; b) that inherent assumptions should form the basis of challenges; and c) that if the host organisation expressed discontent all contact should be discontinued immediately.

Responses to postings were recorded as were subsequent searches initiated by those who participated. In order to ensure that all responses were anonymous it had been previously decided that no record was to be kept of responses. This makes it impossible to verify the first search terms entered by those who visited the website upon leaving.

Sociologically, the GKN experiment provides valuable, but unverifiable, data concerning the responses of stimulated anonymous individuals to specific conditions.

GKN can therefore be considered an "art house experiment".
