As soon as I heard about burning man, back in 1996, it had definitely jumped the shark. If this guy knows about it, it's no longer hip.

- hammock 10y ago2016: OP's blog post ruined Burning Man.
- pacofvf 10y agoI think we can agree that the guy at 2016 IAC ruined BM this year.
- cobookman 10y agoLol its like usenet. The first rule is there is no usenet.
- vt240 10y agoI've never encountered this sentiment regarding usenet. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting your comment? Do you mean that knowledge of, and participation on usenet is elite/special? I find it fascinating if that is what you mean. I was born in the 80s and never really had that feeling from anyone in my circle of friends; more like, "Hello! What is wrong with you? We have forums on the web now."
- oldmanjay 10y agoAround the time of fight club being popular, usenet was the place to find pirated media and software. The inspired formulation of the "rule" gathered steam because it seemed no one in authority noticed this while they freaked out about napster and descendants.
- vt240 10y agoHaha, got it, that makes sense.
- projektfu 10y agoIt has something to do with Eternal September, which is also Burning Man's "problem".
