Happy Birthday, The World Wide Web Posted: 9 months ago by pocksucket
13th March, 1989, Tim Berners-Lee laid out his thoughts on setting up a system of accessing a vast repository of knowledge from remote location.
From this paper, The World Wide Web was born.
Thinking about it, I don't think this is The World Wide Web's birthday. I think it's the anniversary of when Tim Berners-Lee got busy with The World Wide Web's momma.
Which was presumably a server or something.
Eeww.

New Rome Is Falling Into Disrepair Posted: 2 years ago by 2manyusernames
A few years ago, a number of brave intelligent men and women from the land of JaxWorth set out for the shores of Nova Roma. This was the New World discovered in the 15th century by Roman sailors traveling across the Pacific in search of a route to trade with India.
Basically it was a shared-world created by Donteatpoop, Icepigs, and others. They imagined a world where Rome never fell and went on to discover the continents on the other side of the globe. Little has been heard from the colony for 2 years. Mayhaps there is yet hope to determine their fate?
