impasse: Fark would probably die if Drew announced "Hey everyone, starting tomorrow things are going to get more strict around here so my new advertisers and owners won't leave. Oh, here's the new layout too."

If they said it like that, yeah...

Still, keeping things in the dark like that only works as long as the secret is kept--and, as they say, "Murder will out"

ftp1020: You win, but I sailed through school without a single snarky comment from the other kids about my name. They sure as hell won't!

I personally wouldn't wanna fuck with a guy named Storm. I might take my chances with the other guy.

When I hear someone named storm I think of American Gladiators. Am I alone on this?

I do believe the pricipia discordia has an allegory about it in there. But, then again, I don't recall much of the discordia perfectly anymore. Which is one of the reasons I've put off rereading it. The way it's currently mixed and masshed up in my brain, I think, may get closer to the meaning than the actual text I picked that up from.

muninsfire: You'd be surprised. On the surface it looks like a joke, sure....but there -is- a core in there.


Clap for both the pun and the statement. When I actually have a copy, in those moments before finding and giving it away, I always kept it right at the front of the shelf of religious writings. It really is quite deep at times.

So Time Warner owns Fark? (If that advert is legit) No wonder that site is nothing but sunshine and gumdrops now. No wonder there haven't been any anti-MPAA stories going up. That would be bad form now wouldn't it?

The funny part? All those FARK tag stories and headlines making direct reference to Drew. If only the kiss-asses knew, Drew ain't part of the picture anymore, you're brownnosing up the wrong tree.

So far I've found only "This made Eris angry, and so She fashioned an apple of pure gold** and inscribed upon it KALLISTI ("To The Prettiest One") and on the day of the fete She rolled it into the banquet hall and then left to be alone and joyously partake of a hot dog" (on a page containing also "REMEMBER: KING KONG DIED FOR YOUR SINS")...

This makes me happy :) It solves a lot of issues I think we have had with Fark :) Good job.

The best part of it is that I don't know - I like Drew. It didn't make sense to me some of the stuff going on. It didn't seem like his personality. Now I know it's a corp or whatnot running it, or some other influence, makes Fark fair-game to me all around.

Dunno why. I just feel that way.

Ok, now I read the linky.

I hope he does go down in flames, for allowing his Mods to shadowban people (etc) all the while, taking their money and allowing them to think that they were part of the community when in reality, they were on the outside looking in.

And all of the other crapola that happened this past year.... he allowed it. If you own a site, you need to be responsible for what goes on there, and if people are complaining to you that it's being mismanaged, you damned well better get off your ass and fix the problems. Especially if you're ripping people off.

Drew what did I do to you, man?

Why did Leah, Kari, Su Anna, and Art et al and their fanboys harass and stalk me and my youngest niece?

What did I do that was so wrong, sir?

Comments I made at TF were thrown in my face at Fark lite. How did that happen without violating your commenting guidelines.

I joined TF in Feb2002 right? I sponsored my first liter in June2002 didn't I or I'm lying right?

I tipped you over $200. I never complained or asked for a refund when I sponsored someone who had already been sponsored. I never asked for special favors like naskar, jj money and other mooches.

Long enough to garner enough users to pull a good price and then sneak off to the next site.
