• Meh. They give me that a lot over at MeFi too. Since there is a fair amount of cross polenization between the two sites, I just thought, well, you know, I'd try to be neighborly and all. (Note that I am not one of MeChat's creators.)
• Did taz design it? Because it's looking pretty fine. I nominated her design of viewropa for some weblog award, because I liked it so much. I didn't think that the blog that won wasn't as nicely designed, but it was a weird set of awards (not the bloggies).
• It is a taz design, yeah. Incidentally it reminded me that she sent me a MoFi design some time ago, so I'm going to try to contact the artist whose work is in her layout of the front page and get it running. I believe that was the holdup last time. I'm all for pretty site additions over practical. :) MeChat's a good idea, given the amount of downtime Mefi has had lately. And given the recent posts on there, it'll be worth a look when it's calmed down a little.
• sex sex sex sex sex.
• I clicked on this this afternoon and the first thing on the screen was a poem called , I think, "how to fuck a pussy." (its gone now, but now theres a picture of horse cock) I didnt care b/c it was my last day at that job anyway, but keep that in mind if you want to click on this at work. Also, its kind of stupid.
• Goddamn horse cocks. Is there not some kind of technology we could use to break their diabolical hold over our species?
• Looks like Cock found a new niche.
• Did you notice that the horse was twirling a hula hoop with it's right hind leg? I think the phallus was just incidental.
• as is mine when hula hoops are involved that horse can't be fully excited-- is that worth a trip to tijuana?
• Ghee, can you understand all the hula hoop over a flacid pony cock?
• Hey now, there's room on the block for everyone; no need to get hostile just yet. If people are all like "OMG METACHAT SOOOO ROX MOFI," then beat them up, but no need until then. I don't have much need for it (I waste enough time as it is), but I hope it works out okay for them.
• ...although it does get a point in that its cute little nickname could be MeCha. Rar.
• It's cute. Why not? The more the merrier - now I can be kind of a fly by night poster who occasionally drops in on THREE sites, bwah. Naturally I missed the dirty pix, of course, of course.
• But...won't this cause MeFi to wither...?
• MoFi had the exact same growing pains, which was why I imposed a 24-hour waiting period way back then. We had a user join called Cock who posted link after link to goatse, and a couple others besides, from memory. So I fully expect MeCha(t) to clam out soon enough to something, maybe, a little more like Everlasting Blort.
• Jesus, at least MeFi being down alot isn't just me. BTW, I wonder what the blue's problem is...poor code? Bad hosting? Painful lack of horse cock? I would have thought these problems would have been addressed in the years it's been up, but especially since the new five dollar entry.
• Matt's working on the issues now, but the funny thing about newborn children is they're quite time-consuming, even if you're just sitting there watching them sleep. He's supposed to be bringing in the new site redesign soon and I think from memory he's moving away from ColdFusion and maybe expanding the actual server hardware too. A full makeover. Hopefully the combination of all those things will lead to an almost completely stable Mefi.
• Yeah. I'm sure Matt's kid is dominating his time, as well she should. I don't think MeCha is anti-Matt in any way. But as for the comment "I would have thought these problems would have been addressed in the years it's been up," I think it's the fact that MeFi has been up so long that has contributed to the problem... I'm sure the code is pretty obsolete by now and after a while the bandaids just can't hold things together anymore. Add in the influx of five-dollar n00bs (like myself) and the system gets strained.
• Oh.... and they're cleaning up the nsfw stuff on the front page on MeCha.
• Yeah, no more images. Fine with me; I'm a verbal type.
• Certainly a gratuitous averment!
• I think the whole point is that they don't have to have the best of the web. They can just put up silly stuff for no reason, and have pointless threads with no deletion. I think it's a good idea.
• They can just put up silly stuff for no reason, and have pointless threads with no deletion. Isn't that our niche?
• Nickdanger: Of course. Let us immortalize it.
• hey, no reason to get all jingoistic about sites. they're young, yet. they could grow up to be anything, especially if you wanted to help shape it. isn't the nation of mofi or mefi or ___ at least of a communalist philosophy? Some mefi problems are sourced in a lack of unified philosophies, but for people who want to be so vocal in their individuality, isn't communalism an undeniable point of agreement on sites with public registration? Is it the change or the methodology employed that is objectionable? What if any are rights of protest? If you dislike something, do you care enough to change it? And why? Not having to worry about the few actual rules people use to beat others on the head, it could become anything, to those who care to be involved. It's all about how much you care, then what you're gonna do about it. Nature or nuture or do you just wanna see what happens next?
• It's nuture, no question.
• "--officer haughey, they're beggin to please it's really not their fault, it's just a social disease--"
• ethylene - do you think maybe you're taking this all to seriously?
• i think we need a new site to discuss it-- I suggest metamonkeychattytalkmetatalkinghorsecockmeta.com/meta but of course we will need somewhere to keep track of the outages of metamonkeychattytalkmetatalkinghorsecockmeta.com/meta because I bet they will be frequent...
• maybe you're inferring seriousness into satire
• the heart of the theorhetical or comedy?
• I'm depraved on account I'm deprived!
• I'm deprived on account I'm depraved!
• I wonder if ethylene is Etheral Bligh's MoFi name...
• I wonder if ethylene is Etheral Bligh's MoFi name... No, it isn't.
• hmmmmmmmmmm.....
• We know who Ethereal Bligh is here. And if you search Mefi's user page, you'll find ethylene's userid linked to one called philida.
• really?
