Do you miss Grovelbot's Big Board?
That was a unique idea in the realm of website fundraising, and we had a lot of playful fun along the way. Some people posted political slogans, other people posted silly messages or pictures of pets.

One day, Liam Gallagher appeared on the big board and made his way across the squares, giving pause to readers and posters alike with his international megastardom.

Score one for Oasis.

1. Yes, that was fun
Why don't they do it anymore?
Does it take up too much bandwidth
now that there are a lot of google ads?

:shrug:

2. They could accomodate the ads with a separate big board.
One big board for the people.
Another big board for the corporatists.

That way, you can see what the sponsors of DU have to say, along with the sponsors of BushCo.

NOTE: This post is sarcastic.

3. I miss Grovelbot, where the f*** did he go?
I will never forget him popping up in the middle of a thread about my brother's funeral, demanding DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU'RE DONATING TO THE DU!!! OMG I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair. :o
