I don't think anyone working for fark is dumb enough to download a trojan attachment from an email. This has failed attempt at satire written all over it.

Fark.com, a thoroughly juvenile, and entertaining, social news site where users pick the headlines.

Well they have us pegged.

This article (and the previous one it mentions) both state how the users and Fox News go hand in hand... I guess it makes sense if the Farkers are leading the Fox Newsies into a chopper blade or something....

You'd think they'd get a more current picture of Drew, where he didn't look like he was 12.

Tell us what his TotalFark login is so we can all deliver an internet cockpunch to this shweenbag.

I heard Drew is selling the site to Murdoch for $1.3billion so he can retire to a small sheep far in the mountains of Nepal.

All I have are these Nepalese coins. I don't even know why I bought the place.

I saw Drew just a couple of months ago. He still looks 12.

With a receding hairline ;)

Curtis says he's "99 percent sure" it's Phillips -- and is now attempting to pursue legal action, seeking detailed data from Comcast, to remove his doubts.

And thus, it's unlikely Mr. Curtis will be commenting in this thread.

Other than to find out user's meat world identities, why would anyone want to hack Fark servers? TF is only $5/month, damn.

Fark isn't going to be bought out by NewsCorp, that would pretty much defeat the whole purpose of Fark.

Memphis Fox station launches blog aggregator
Posted July 30, 2007

WHBQ-TV in Memphis has debuted OnMemphis, a city blog aggregator. Web manager Darrell Phillips said the site launched three weeks ago and "it's doing well already and we haven't even begun to market it." Screen grab...

To be fair, Drew was awfully mean to the guy for submitting Phil Spector newsflashes.

/or was that someone else?

why would that be fake?

that was rather interesting, reading you dopes comments made me hesitate at first.

He was probably just trying to figure out how many alts you really have.

That episode, in turn, got some News Corp. executives interested in Fark, for whom the site might be a logical acquisition.

Seems like the next logical acquisition after the WSJ.

It sounds perfectly plausible.

He wouldn't be the only one using alt accounts.

You're probably right: Account created: 2007-07-18 22:15:20

STFU.

A look at either would be helpful to someone designing a social-news website.

Buuuullshiat!
