the re-opened BB thread is now closed (and trolling posts deleted). RIP.

Yep, two years and I still miss it. It's just not natural to post on another website. But it doesn't seem to have affected Boing traffic at all. Probably better for the bloggers' blood pressure too.

why bother, craniac--you'd lose out on the company of all us other losers!

Man, it's been almost two years since this happened. I need to get a life.

BoingBoing is a labor of love that has also become a large public text. No wonder Cory gets pissed when people send him cranky email. You or I would as well.

If it were a corporation, the shareholders would have brought in beancounters at this point to "run things professionally" at which point it would cease to be boingboing.

One of the paradoxes of stuff that grows.
