Dubya's_Coke_Dealer: Ed Finnerty: Lose the beard, Wil. It's really annoying.

Makes him look like Jonathan Frakes.

Just last night, there was a commercial on TV which Wheaton was in and my wife asked, "Wait, was that Riker?" We went back and checked and it was absolutely Wheaton so she's now dubbed him "Mini-Riker"

Is that a ferret? I'd be pissed if someone stuck me in a gingham dress too!

I was talking to Wil this weekend, he stopped by my booth at Calgary Expo to talk Lego.

lake_huron: Cyno01: You know what bugs me? farkING SOCIAL NETWORKING BUTTONS ON PORN SITES! Who the fark though that was a good idea. Who the fark is intentionally gonna click "Share this on facebook" when theyre fapping. Im sick of browsing porn and then a wayward click and i have to go and delete the "Cyno liked Missy Monroe Jerkoff instruction @ Emplfix.com!" post on facebook immediately...

Um, uh, nobody here has, uh, ANY idea what you're talking about. Uh, right guys,?

I have a cold, I swear!

donnielove: 9beers: Why does Wheaton have a tag when he hasn't posted here in years? He's still around, I saw him on reddit not to long ago. Why did he bail on Fark?

farkers

That's my guess, too. Every day, I get a little closer to bailing myself.

Porn stars might click their own videos. Then they can endorse their own work. I could see ancillary services doing the same. The crew, Mr. Skin, people who review the films. You know, people who support the industry and are "out of the closet" about it.

And Tucker Max, but that goes without saying.

I can't stand that when you browse to Google, it doesn't set cursor focus on the search field anymore.
What's up with that?!?

JoeJitsu		2012-05-03 12:48:14 PM

Hey, I just checked and "wilwheaton

liamg

com" has suddenly come available. Maybe I'll snag it for the lulz.

Karls Marxley's Rise Up and Jam: unlikely: Weird, my YouTube seems to still have the old Thumbs-Up button

Same here. I'm curious if it's a 1-in-10 thing that they just try to slip in now and again? In which case, that's not a big deal.
Or maybe it's something else.
What are you talking about Wil Wheaton.

Yeah, A/B testing has become rather big lately. That'd be my guess as well.

Current Resident		2012-05-03 01:54:01 PM

So...Gizmodo posts a post by Wil Wheaton that Wil Wheaton posted on his blog yesterday and makes it look like Wil Wheaton wrote the post for Gizomodo.

That about right?

9beers		2012-05-03 02:02:46 PM

I'm not buying that Wil left Fark because people here were a bunch of meanies. Fark deletes comments, reddit doesn't. I've seen a lot more offensive comments on reddit than I have on Fark. True, they get down voted but they're still there.

willydwonka		2012-05-03 03:51:07 PM

The fact of the matter is that if a free service pisses you off by changing the way it delivers its free services to you, then you just need to get over it. This is not a big deal. Period. It's certainly not newsworthy.

Fark Me Runnin: xanadian: 9beers: Why does Wheaton have a tag when he hasn't posted here in years? He's still around, I saw him on reddit not to long ago. Why did he bail on Fark?

Because people here were dicks to him.

I noticed something awhile back: A very large proportion of Farkers who have nothing interesting to say but act like jerks (or, you know, aren't acting) have zero greenlights. That's made it very easy to pick off the worthless losers on here.

Turbo Cojones: Sounds like white people's problems to me...

"Ooooooh one Company doesn't interface exactly the way I want with one of their rivals....I'm going to write a sternly worded letter because I'm special!

Blogging=Whining. Full of sound and fury signifying nothing...

See what I mean?

cretinbob		2012-05-04 12:33:39 AM

Neondistraction: Probably because we're all assholes.

Exactly why. I think he does lurk from time to time yet.

Hebalo: I was talking to Wil this weekend, he stopped by my booth at Calgary Expo to talk Lego.

He came to your booth in CALGARY wearing a KINGS jersey?

By Canadian law I you were required to shirt him and beat the snot out of him. Did you do it?
