Contents
On the internet
Litso has been around on the internet since 1996 approximately. Having used a range of nicknames in the span of years, 'Litso' is the one he identifies himself with since 2004. Ever since his access to the internet Litso has been interested in webdesigning and programming, resulting in the creation of a wide scala of websites ranging from personal webpages, Marilyn Manson fanpages, forums, weblogs (currently the main function of his homepage Litso.com) and wikis.
His interest in the internet and webdesign led to studying "Communication & Multimedia Design", where he learnt not only how to design websites but to function as a medium between companies and the actual webdevelopers, advising them on how best to communicate their message using web applications.
Litso is currently an active member of the Babalon and Provider Module forums, the MansonWiki and the MansonWiki forums.
Marilyn Manson
Litso first got interested in Marilyn Manson after watching the video for "I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)" in one of his theology classes in 2000. After borrowing the album Mechanical Animals from a classmate he got familiar with what would become his favorite band (and album) ever since.
After downloading loose tracks to get to know more of the music he first started buying the official albums and later also all other kinds of albums and merchandise. His collection currently consists of over 150 official albums, singles, EP's and LP's. His favorite items are the blue and white double LP of Mechanical Animals, the limited German tour edition of this same album (with a drawn slipcase and 20 page booklet with drawings from the "I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)" video) and the even more limited 10" promo version of that tour edition. He also owns a range of t-shirts, posters, action figures and other kinds of merchandise.
Litso attended six concerts of the band, being 2003/06/15 Nijmegen, Netherlands, 2003/12/14 Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2005/06/02 Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2005/08/20 Biddinghuizen, Netherlands, 2007/12/12 Den Bosch, Netherlands and 2009/12/07 Amsterdam, Netherlands. He has never met Marilyn Manson in person, but it is still his aspiration to meet him one day.
The MansonWiki
The MansonWiki was an idea that Litso formed in early 2006. His original idea was to create his own website from scratch, including a self-made content management system, including a wiki-based encyclopedia on Manson, a tag-based and user-submitted photogallery, forums and an online Marilyn Manson radio station. This idea lost his attention after a while and nothing became of it until a member of The Heirophant forums started a thread in March 2007 suggesting there should be a Manson Wiki, similar to the by then already successful Nine Inch Nails wiki. To realize at least part of his idea of an ideal Manson community website, Litso started creating a wiki immediately, first on his home server and later on his own domain Litso.com.
The first weeks the wiki was hardly visited or contributed to, the only contributions existing of pages copied directly from wikipedia. This was done to make sure at least a few pages were there to invite people to help editing them and creating new pages, and after a while nothing much happened and Litso hardly visited the wiki at all anymore. It was only after checking back on the site end May 2007 and noticing the user Rtiztik had been adding and editing pages on a daily basis he got inspired again to contribute actively to the wiki. Shortly after that the website was moved to it's current domainname and has been growing in articles and visitors ever since.
Currently Litso is in charge of the technical aspects of the MansonWiki, developing new features and doing general maintenance.
