The server chaos.taylored.com, later chaos.x-philes.com, was the primary mailing list server for the X-Files fannish community from 1995 through 1998, and still hosts some X-Files related mailing lists through today. The server is privately owned and operated by Chael Hall.
The server has also hosted Gossamer archive-related functions, including a Gossamer main archive and all administrative functions for Gossamer.
