I have to admit… I’m with @theodore604. I’ve been with BoingBoing since 1999 (pre-Blogger). Over the last few years: The superfluous animated gif feature has tanked performance on everything I try (Explorer, Chrome, now even 4k-Netflix-Capable Edge), every 10th article is trying to pitch a not-so-subtle associate link at me, and the quality has become such that it feels at times to simply be a delayed mirror of the Reddit subs that I subscribe to.
My young kids, who are all now adults, grew up with a little game: They would say ‘BoingBoing’ and I would immediately chime in with a lyrical ‘dot NET.’ Long ago, you see, boingboing dot com was a porn website and I didn’t want them to go to the wrong place. But I did very much want them to go to boingboing.net, since it was full of unusual information and rare finds.
I so very much miss the wanderkammen.
Which, I suppose, makes me a saddasaurus too.
