Whenever Lee has some free time to sit around and tweak things, I suppose.

^^^ The finding braces cute part or the weirdo part?
I'm starting to wonder why Fox Entertainment even thought MyNet's original format of "all telenovelas, all the time" was even a thing, especially considering that it was launched in 2006, when soap opera ratings started going down the toilet.
The lack of brand recognition also kind of hindered its hopes. No wonder it's basically just a syndication service now.
Fun Fact: Fox actually sold MySpace to Justin Timberlake, who ironically was cast as Sean Parker in The Social Network the year before, which is obviously a movie that revolves around the creation of Facebook.
(Well, Fox sold it to him and Specific Media, but still.)

The main thing I remember about MySpace's heyday was the annoying embedded music players everyone put on their pages that blasted music every time you clicked on someone's profile.
Well, that and the horribly shitty HTML/CSS that people thought was so clever.
The music player thing kinda transferred onto Tumblr, though people are much better with the whole autoplay thing.
The crap CSS/HTML isn't as much of an issue since everyone just uses the themes from the Garden or by those indie themers that don't put theirs in the Garden to be rebellious or something.
I have a friend who we call Pick (who perhaps one of you may remember from his brief time on TVTropes as Beatles #9) who is a total elitist about memes, and it. Is. Hilarious.
Mentioning the jimmies meme practically sends him into conniptions.

Tumblr has its own share of annoyances, though. ANIMATED PONIES anyone?
Googling it, it basically seems to be "tumblr, but only one blog and only for memes".
Well
okay then.
I dunno, Pick was very hyped about a raid /b/ was apparently going to pull on it. He's been bitching about it for several days and I just thought of it now for some reason.
9gag? They take 4chan memes (and Tumblr ones) and label them as their own, then repost them on Tumblr without credit and rake in tons of notes.
This is almost exactly what Pick said, actually.
I honestly don't see how this could conceivably matter to anybody. It's not like individual meme-creators ever get credit anyway, it is really so important to know that the "jimmies" meme has been around since 2010? Not unless you're knowyourmeme.
Now, if you were a knowyourmeme archivist, I can see why 9gag's shenanigans would make your self-appointed job harder, but even then, it's not hard to just ignore what they say.
I didn't even know about 9gag until I saw a picture of Derpina on DA that mentioned it. I guess they swiped content from other places and "rebranded" it, Ebaums-style?
Also, I want to print this comic out and put it on my door at work:

FWIW, though, I will say that most of my frustrations with Tumblr are a result of dumb decisions by the staff, rather than the community itself. Things like not being able to reblog Ask posts, not being able to view sent Fan Mail, the bizarre smear campaign against Missing E...
My only big complaint about the community is that their preoccupation with social justice can get grating at times, even if I tend to agree with them.

^^^ I accidentally a word. I meant "reblog Ask posts".
^^ Missing E is a browser extension that is basically a bunch of Greasemonkey tweaks packaged up into one. For some reason Tumblr staff hates it and if you're running it they make you check a box that says they won't provide support for your account.

On the 9gag thing: I think it's probably when they post stuff like this on their blog without credit though that irritates people. Granted, if you go to something's 9gag page you might actually get a source, but only sometimes.
Now, this is understandable. I'd obviously get mad too if someone was showing my stuff off as their own, but if the stuff is so commonly uncredited that it doesn't matter, well, people probably shouldn't make such a huge deal about it.
You(9gag) are facing one of the most known english image board wherein the people over there are known for DDOS attacks, and some of them are HACKERS, and known for their internet vigilantism, They are responsible for Project Chanology, they trapped a pedophile and give the information to police, and etc.! 9gag should better watch out on what they say, 4chan is no easy opponent .
It's actually pretty horrible. Both from a standard story standpoint and from a "so bad it's funny" standpoint, because it's not funny, sans a single moment in the entire fanfWHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.
Give me the IP, the bandwith, the addresses, and the whole website, and I'll spare your accounts. Just log out. I will give you safe passage to Facebook. Just log out, and there will be an end to the horror.
I await your answer. You have one full day to decide.

They're like generic brand grills, basically.
Also, I am glad that I managed to save this from the old site.
hey there everybody, this is Lazuli.
I wonder if I should start doing Lets Plays.
I'm not sure how I would though.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
It wasn't marketed well, though. MNT's aesthetic being rather bland may not have helped either.
I don't do this often
I wonder if, soon, people will start using MySpace as a retro thing.
I could get behind that, I never had a MySpace back when it was popular.
Don't be absurd.
Next you'll be saying that Friendster wasn't a great thing.
Well, that and the horribly shitty HTML/CSS that people thought was so clever.

What exactly is Missing E.
Also, I follow a small handful of tumblogs. I stay the hell away from the REBLOG THIS IF YOU AGREE people. Same with Facebook, twitter, etc.
Call me apathetic, I just don't care that much about that kind of thing to be bothered to click 80 things a day.

People actually care about this.
I should not be surprised, but I am.
4chan is a thing.
I don't really pay it much mind, just because the assorted boards are so different from each other.
I find it hilarious how UBER POWERFUL certain members of /b/ think it is, though.
a weird wasteland that is
