I have heard about a secret online design community called 'o8' or
sometimes reffered to as 'oheight.' I have read info on various
websites about it and I even saw it listed as an indexed reference
website in Joshua Davis' flash book.

Hi there,

The URL for the o8 secret community is:
http://www.lussumo.com/member/signin.asp?PageAction=signedout

It says: "In order to become a member of this forum, you will need to
have another member sponsor you."

Their help pages are viewable by the public:
http://www.lussumo.com/help/

How the site came about is at Design for Community:

A recent interview with Josh is at [studio]whiz.com:

Google search strategy: o8 and then "Meaningless and Shallow"

Best wishes,

o8 actually has an "army" site, because apparently they plan on taking
over the world.

The army site is located at:

http://o8army.com

In the "About Us" section, they say the following:
===
So you think you've found o8?  More than likely you've heard of o8. 
That's why you're here.

Let's face it.  You search google for "randy bunch of pricks" you're
gonna get a boatload of links that'll make your momma blush and your
pappa throw up.
So we know you didn't just get here by chance.

No. You've seen us somewhere.  You've heard about us from someone. 
You've already met us somehow.   And now you think you've found us. 
But really.....o8.....already found you.

You see.....you never see the pen first, instead you see a tiny little
blue dot on your fingernail and when you move your hand to look at it
closer you find that the entire underside of your pinky finger is
blue.  You look for a leaky pen on your desk but can't find anything,
then you go to the washroom to scrub the ink off and when you get
there you look in the mirror and there's an inch-wide blue streak
running down your left cheek.

You start to do a thorough full-body examination in the mirror,
checking each corner, contorting youself to get the full view, and all
else looks well until you take that final little twist to the
left.....and notice that the entire right butt cheek of your khakis is
covered in a torrent of blue ink.

You reach inside the pocket filled with ink and pull out the leaky pen
except.....it's not your pen.  And you have no idea how it got there.


You think you've found o8?
No. You haven't. 
o8 has found you.
Is that a dot on your fingernail ?
