Removing some of the more negative blogs from my page. I'm trying to be far less grumpy these days, and I figure the world (and me) is better off without my grumpy ass hot takes.
That place has long been a s$*@ show IMHO. It's one of the reasons my site has a space for me to rant.
my hope is that this ends up driving people back to dedicated forums. im very sad to see communities focused on various things converge to a subreddit when they have a forum for the thing (first thing that comes to mind being the haxe programming language, which has had a huge chunk of community information cut off by virtue of people using the subreddit instead of their own existing and somewhat active forum)
The X-Files fan page instantly made a usenet post referring to Krychek as “Ratboy” pop into my head, with an associated image of Mulder in the back of a truck- I started watching halfway through and caught up in reruns, so I’d try to piece the myth arc episodes together through newsgroup discussions. It was weirdly specific nostalgia!
just fixing some links. i copied and pasted many incorrectly.
