How and when did BreakTheChain.org get started?
BreakTheChain.org was founded (under a different name) in April, 1999. It was borne of the same frustration that brings people here: getting the same chain letters and hoaxes from different friends and family and trying to explain to each of them individually what was wrong with them. Originally, it was a simple link list to articles on prevalent chains of the day. Over the years, with the support of millions of readers, the site has grown into a globally recognized resource on hoax e-mails.
