Re: How to Figure Out Which Bored is Best for Me?

Part of the Free Association theory that I worked on for years is the possible formation of many independent "meetings," and there can even be more than one "top level" meeting. Key is cross-membership, and if a group excludes members because they are part of a "competing" meeting, they cut themsel...

Re: How to Figure Out Which Bored is Best for Me?

There are philosophical differences between the two boards with some personal skirmishes that flare from time-to-time. The Internet is big enough for more than one Wikipedia criticism site. Unless the Terms of Service on WPO has changed, there are no loyalty oaths required for either site.

Re: Is Reddit evil?

I got a much closer look at how such companies operate with Quora, which has the best writing on the internet, my opinion. If you know how to use the site, otherwise you will see piles of junk. Jimbo was one of their "founding lights", and I fully expect that he baked another dysfunctiona...

Re: Is Reddit evil?

The founder of Reddit is preparing (or was preparing?) for the Apocalypse? How ironic.

The forum will be down for a few days while they backup, upgrade, restore, re-add customizations and reopen.

Re: Wikipediocracy site broken

Some of the posts in threads have disappeared. All text is in a larger font. Refreshing briefly brings up the "Root" errors Kumioko is talking about. That's what I'm seeing in Firefox, anyway.

Re: Worst blog you have ever seen?

Long ago when I was in college, I had a Xanga blog and someone left a comment on it. I went to the commenter's blog and found it belonged to a troubled 14-year old girl. Most of her blogs were rants against her "bitch" mother, her school, and her mandatory court orders. A lot of black and ...
