MoFi on Linkfilter Next stop: Daypop

  • There goes the neighborhood...
  • And I for one welcome our new Ant Overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a howling monkey poster, I could be useful in rounding up other liberal geeks to toil in their underground sugar caves.
  • Am I not cool because I never heard of these?
  • I thought I hadn't heard of linkfilter, but I typed in my stock name and password, and it logged me in. And I still don't remember the site... /dull story
  • I thought I had no debts, but some guys from the bank arrived at my home, took all my stuff and warned me I still owe $100,000. I still don't remember having any debts... /fright story.
  • Ok, I faked that. I do owe $10,000 but no one has taken anything from me... still.
  • "I thought I hadn't heard of linkfilter, but I typed in my stock name and password, and it logged me in. And I still don't remember the site..." root/god are not exactly uncommon....
  • forks...: daypop is the dimwitted uncle of blogdex, and linkfilter is the inbred cousin of fark.
  • It's when we get on the frontpage of MetaFilter that we'll know we've arrived. Or that its all over...
  • Be careful naxo - if you say mean things about the other mammals, they might not like us (scroll to the bottom of the linkfilter comments). That said, this is so like getting in the society pages. The nouveau riche aren't so nouveau anymore.
  • sorry - please mentally remove the unecessary "so" before the "like". I must have been momentarily channeling a Californian teenager. (And preview must be read more carefully)
  • I was also wondering - is it time to change the front page yet? It could be in the FAQ that monkeyfilter began as a place for mefi lurkers, but it really is so much more. Aside from the fact that our links are terrific (thank you to all), but at 358+ members, I think we might be in the critical mass for success zone.
  • Sir! I would be honored to be an inbred relative of fark. If only my blood were that royal...
  • when's the debutante ball?
  • It's when we get on the frontpage of MetaFilter that we'll know we've arrived. Or that its all over... Well, then I guess we've arrived. Better cut holes in the bottoms of those tuxes and backs of those dresses. We're Big Time now!
  • It wasn't the first time, and I imagine it won't be the last.
  • Oops, I didn't see the new front page blurb. Please ignore - and looks great. : )
  • Nah, jb, I changed it because of your suggestion. Sometimes I actually respond quickly. Most times I sleep on it. For, like, a month.
  • Well, then I guess we've arrived. And yet, I still have to explain what the heck MonkeyFilter is to friends and family.
