That happens here?

Does the article say anything about the redesign?

Except that's not how Fark actually works...?

Define: "best stories."

NewportBarGuy: Define: "best stories."

Only the crap that I submit and gets subsequently greenlit qualifies as a "best story".


Everything else is garbage.

At least that's what I tell myself after my $5 paypal receipt comes in.

Because I always associate "best stories" with Gateway Pundit, WND, and stories about annoying fat people acting entitled from the Daily Fail.

"best stories"?? We are clearly Farked.

There are Admins and Modmins. Google doesn't use those.

I'm not sure all of us are human.

I was human at one time, but I got over it.

The number of people on Reddit would crush Fark if only a fraction stumbled onto the site.

For me, the signal-to-noise ratio at Reddit to too great for it to be enjoyable.

What's Reddit, I've never been out of the basement that is Fark?

AlwaysRightBoy: What's Reddit, I've never been out of the basement that is Fark?

Here's my proposal: AlwaysRightBoy should apologize for discounting the impact that Reddit and other Internet communities had on this article, or next time The Internet should remember AlwaysRightBoy thinks they don't count and should show them what happens when "The Internet" actively works to convince people to not care. Because if Reddit had put similar effort into convincing people not to care, the article size would have been far smaller than anticipated. And if you don't believe me, let's see how it goes next time if AlwaysRightBoy makes the wrong decision.

Hell, they could offer him a lifetime supply or beer and Hoodie's autograph and he'd sell out in a microsecond.

I hope they do. I'm pretty sure the place would change enough that I'd leave, but I can't imagine a better guy to give that kind of cash to. He'd most likely just start up some kind of clone, we'd migrate there and continue as usual. Or he would buy some small country and rule it with an iron fist. Either way.
