I read it every now and then. It’s a lot slower than it used to be, at DeadJournal.

It _is_ a sanitized version of 4chan.

4chan has some astonishingly intelligent posters in it as well as the usual lot. I forget which subboard to look at but it’s something like “robot 9000”… that often rivals the dope, frankly.

I’ve read it. It’s sometimes funny. ABout the only time I wander back there now is if someone mentions it and I get a burr up my ass over seeing if I’ve been Snarked. But, in general, I kind of hate it on account of the old SDMB\_Anon LiveJournal days … that was just viciously idiotic.

Meh, believe it or not, I don’t care. It’s not like I can say anything to convince you.

Someone DID once post there pretending to be me. Said Fake-Guin was acting all butthurt about how they were treating “me/her”. It was pretty funny.

How long WAS it on LJ before it was shut down? A couple of months?

I didn’t even know what it was. I almost voted yes, thinking it was an _ahem_ snarky nickname for the BBQ pit, until I saw a post correcting that notion

You’ve said before that you post there just to play around. I don’t think that you’ve posted any of the real horrible stuff. You also posted non-anon in the LJ/DJ days.

Maybe a year and a half total between the three or four incarnations?

Where did I say that? Are you sure you’re not mistaking me for someone else?
