It got inhaled by the NSA. There's a rumor about that some
of you aren't Mericans, and you've been talking about
government and explosives and airlines and religion and
whatnot. |

Looks like the domain name wasn't renewed on time.
I've goofed that up before. It's sort of a pain. No big
deal really, since you generally get a grace period of a
couple of months to renew after it expires before it
goes back into the pool of available domains, but it's
one of those “kick yourself” kind of moments. They
usually send you several warnings before it expires,
and generally I'll blow them off and not deal with it
until disaster strikes. One year GoDaddy actually
called me to remind me to renew my domain, and I
still managed to let it expire on me. Durrr… |

yes- thanks [ytk] always check the *news* page. Glad all is well now. |

If we could extend this question... |

I was a very loyal reader of HB at university, long before the Great (HB) Crash. Many years later, with my own account, I can't help but notice that the number of contributors seems much lower. It's rare to see 20 votes for an idea today, whereas that seemed to be a minimum at one time. |
|

Like certain old Usenet groups, it seems the educated classes stopped posting once the internet hit critical mass.
2) Whimsy doesn't play well in a mix of bad politics and bad economies. |
|
| |
But really, there's a lot more I don't know. |
|
| |
Trick question? Are you saying it should be all video or archives of video chats today? |
|
| |
Almost impossible to remember where at university I found the HB. But the general tone and several ideas and people on the place always stayed with me in some way. |
|
| |
Your wisdom needs a lot more whitespace. |
|
| |
Read the "news". ooooops! |
|
| |
I too roll my eyes with the rest whenever one of the old
favorites comes on, but sometimes I can't avoid diving in
anyway. Nearly always somebody has an original point to
make. |

//the halfbakery is now just half-baked thinking about everything rather than whimsical inventions// There are still plenty of halfbaked inventions here. Just ignore or mfd those that aren't. |

And all the fish. Don't forget all the fish. |

//Art is for layabouts.// |
|
| |
I always thought it was humanities and languages
that were for layabouts. |
|
| |
True artists, the creative engines behind society,
are generally hardworking. If you doubt this, go to a
McDonalds and see for yourself. |

//Art as a surplus in human thinking// Laughable backwoods drivel. What does human thinking mean? Keep going.... here's a bigger shovel to help out with that hole you're digging. |

//offered to sell me the domain name// |
|
| |
Did you try and buy it? If so then, I, for one, welcome our new [2 fries] overlord. |
|

It doesn't actually let you buy the domain name
immediately after it expires. It just lets you join a “waiting
list” to buy the name after it goes back into the pool,
which occurs something like six weeks after it expires. I
think if they have multiple people interested at that point,
it goes to an auction. But if the original owner renews in
that six week period, all bets are immediately off and it
goes back to business as usual until the domain expires
again. |

It may, or it may not be said oft enough here, but I do
love you guys. |

They wanted like seventy bucks... |
|
| |
Who's got that kind of scratch lying around? |
|
| |
I would have gone halfers with you as long as I was a co-overlord. (or would that be Vice Overlord?) |
|
| |
We would first have needed to form a committee to determine titles, and then the cost per share after incorporation... that's where the big bucks would have been. |
|
| |
awww [zen_tom] gone all sentimental on us!! I love you guys (and gals), too. My life would not be complete without this place!! It would be nice if there were more people or some of the old hb folks, but we have to make due with what is. |
|
| |
Indiscriminate love and kisses from me, also. |
|
| |
A giant bear hug from me, too. |
|
| |
Well I think you're all weird. |
|

sp: you're...
Oh God I'm turning pedant. must... resist. ... |

that's okay; were all thinking it. |

On the subject of low bun rate, it could be a sign of honesty. |
|

Certain members, whose names I shall not mention, allege they have more than 1 ID. In which case multiple self-bunning might be possible, even though it might result in blindness and hair growing on the palms of the hands. |

In fact, there's something in the FAQ about not having a pretend flame-war with yourself. |
