I used to spend a lot of time on Fark. But I haven't visited the site in years. Why?
It just got kind of boring. Separating out the Boobies posts was probably a mistake; kind of like separating out the yeast from dough. And the stories in general got less interesting. Or...perhaps the rise of blogs is part of the reason. I get a lot more out of reading the odd little stories that my friends recommend, than out of the stuff that Drew picks.
Plus, let's face it: there ARE a lot of trolls and idiots among the Farkigentsia. They used to be a lot funnier, in aggregate.
