The FreeBSD Diary Gets A Facelift

JunkMale writes: "The Diary face lift has been completed. Not only has the look/feel changed, but it is now running on a colocated server, giving me much more control than I had before. Also included are new features, such as user feedback on an article-by-article basis and newsfeeds from other sites. My thanks to Bean for her work on the graphics side. It is much appreciated."

It looks good

Maybe now they will start posting more, it's been ages since an actual article, story or tip was posted there

hahahah this is so funny. I really like the nutty math this guy uses. So funny. I just hope some newbee wouldn't take this seriously, they would look really stupid if they spread this, oh well. Thanks for the laugh.

The "they" is generally me. I've been busy. What with moving from one country to another, starting a new job, and doing the upgrade.....

Re:Too much, too soon: *trolls* are dying

[zentex]

Please remember, yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Troll community when last month the FBI confirmed that Trolls account for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all netizens. Coming on top of of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that Trolls have lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Trolls are collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent ZDNet comprehensive networking test.

You don't need to be a Ms. Cleo [mscleo.com] to predict a Trolls future. The hand writing is on the wall: Trolls face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Trolls because Trolls are dying. Things are looking very bad for Trolls. As many of us are already aware, Trolls continue to lose market share. Green ink flows like a river of blood. Anonymous Trolls are the most endangered of them all.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

Troll leader AC states that there are 7000 Anonymous Trolls. How many Trolls with names are there? Let's see. The number of Anonymous versus Named posts on /. is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Trolls with names. Fake Troll posts on /. are about half of the volume of Named Troll posts. Therefore there are about 700 Trolls with fake names. A recent article put /. Editorial Trolls at about 80 percent of the Troll market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Editorial Trolls. This is consistent with the number of Editorial Troll /. posts.

Due to the troubles of Trolling, abysmal sales and so on, CompuServ went out of business and was taken over by AOL who sells another troubled product to Trolls. Now AOL is also dead, its corpse turned over to another Troll-Lover.

All major surveys show that Trolling has steadily declined in market share. Trolling is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Trolling is to survive at all it will be among Anonymous hobbyist dabblers. Trolling continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Trolls are dead. (and if they don't die, I will kill them).

NO SPORK
