Unfortunately it didn&#8217;t manage that but it did keep me occupied in my spare time through much of 1999. I put the site online on 10th March 2000 after a previous attempt to launch it on the 1st January that year. My initial intention was that it would be a rolling news service, constantly updated with all the latest Toyah happenings. Some people said the idea would never work. 19 years, and thousands &amp; thousands of posts, later, I\u00a0like to think\u00a0it did!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30407 aligncenter\" alt=\"dscape20d\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dscape20d.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dscape20d.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dscape20d-300x109.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if I&#8217;d known the hate that would be directed at me over the years I wouldn&#8217;t have bothered. In 2012 I almost closed Dreamscape when things got particularly unpleasant, and recently there has been an undercurrent of nastiness again. On a far more positive note, through this site I&#8217;ve made fantastic lifelong friends who I really treasure. There were some fake friends too but they, thankfully, fucked off. Grrr, I always have to end on a negative lol!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30408 aligncenter\" alt=\"dscape20a\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dscape20a.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dscape20a.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/dscape20a-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In less than two month&#8217;s time Dreamscape will enter it&#8217;s 20th year online.
