I just mentioned the snarkpit in another post, then realised that perhaps I ought to delete it as it probably wasn’t appropriate in the thread… then I thought that may look like a conspiracy. So to get it out in the open, do you read the snarkpit? ---

I have in the past but haven’t in a long time and have no interest in going there again. It was curiosity that took me there in the first place, after about a week the curiosity was satisfied and that was that. It also was super boring by the end of that week that my interest held out: -Let’s all whine about Person X doing something we all hate -Let’s all whine about Person Y doing something we all hate. -and so on -and so forth -ad infinitum ---

Quite. It probably suits a lurker’s mindset more than a poster’s 😉 ---

Lurkers can read the SDMB too though, so when you compare them side-by-side, one of them is going to be inherently more interesting. So I suppose regular posters might not enjoy the snarkpit as much as someone who lurks, but the material get rehashed even more frequently than recurring threads here on how to do simple tasks on Facebook or something. EDIT: A fun possibility of the snarkpit would be to reverse snark on yourself. “That god damn n00b covered in bees is so hot… his smile just makes me weak in the knees.” 😉 ---

Some one linked to it during the lost weekend and I went a read a couple of threads. It didn’t hold my interest enough to bookmark it and so I don’t even know the address any more. ---

I used to look at it a bit, but it got boring pretty fast. ---

Some of it was pretty funny at first but you couldn’t search and it was difficult to navigate around. It’s been months… okay, a year. ---

When I open the Dope, I usually hit “New Posts” to see what’s going on. So occasionally a thread title interests me and I stumble in. Once recently a politician burned me up to the point that I gave folks a place to discuss him in there. But in general, no, it’s not my style. ---

I used to read it four or five years ago on Livejournal, before it even became a snark community and was more about run of the mill gossip, and I followed it through a half dozen iterations (and two or three dozen short lived splinter boards), until it became the SnarkPit on Deadjournal, but I think I’ve only read it once or twice in the past couple years and don’t even know how to get there anymore. ---

I do when I’m really, really bored. Oh, and when I found out they were hacked for doing some shitty stuff to some of our (and the splinter boards’) people. I was happy to find that people were calling out the shitty people there, too. Oh, and when I do something stupid, I like to see if I get anything. Even my recent debacle got maybe four posts total, since they absolutely cannot stay on topic there. Still, more than I’ve gotten in the Pit… ---

It uses a hidden link to get in like a kid’s treehouse club. You should see some targets that already have holes in them. Those are already used. Locate a fresh target and click on the 8 then the 9 then the 9 below it then the bullseye. Click the head to make the kill. It will open the forum if you do it correctly. ---

It used to be at [http://snarkpit.deadjournal.com/](http://snarkpit.deadjournal.com/) – where you can still read the threads up to September last year if you’re curious. ---

I must be doing something wrong. I click on the link. I see three targets, two of which are shot up already. Underneath that is a Members Only link. Do I click that?
