The Web was conceived in the Caf during Winter Term 2003. The basic concept was that every person at Knox except for virgins and people in self-contained sexual relationships, could be connected to one another through their sexual partners. The first, and perhaps only, physical copy of the Web included 120 people was last seen in the possession of Dan Morgridge. It came into being at a party thrown for the sole purpose of its creation on April 25, 2003 in the Hamblin apartment of Claire Rasmussen, Claire Leeds, Cynthia Barounis, and Agnes Csicsai. The Web was later turned into a party game, where players would sit at a party, point out other attendees at random, and connect them to one another, to everyone's disgust.
The concept of the web was revived by Graham Troyer-Joy and Courtney Meaker in 2004-05 and 2005-06 to include people who were only linked by making out or other awkwardness
Both webs bear some similarity to a web introduced as a plot device in th TV show "The L Word".
