Darn - I was hoping this meant that it was coming back. I think that one of my earliest non-game memories of the Internet is reading through the memepool archives.
- joshu 15y agoI would love to reboot it, but I can't come up with anything that isn't delicious (as it was) and reddit on one end, and BoingBoing on the other.
- gt384u 15y agoI think you give your own creation too little credit. I would have never found Peanuts by Bukowski without you, and that was worth all my internets. I never saw it on reddit, never saw it on slashdot, never saw it on digg. Anyway, thank you for running memepool as long as you did and keeping it up for others to enjoy. I used to love Lowbrow around when you were actively posting and I'd be curious to re-read through their archives archives, but they're gone from what I can tell.
- alaskamiller 15y agoKinda ring true, Peanuts by Bukowski didn't surface on those sites but I ended up seeing it on Tumblr a few years back. Interesting how good content ripple through the online communities.
- MonkeyIsNull 15y agoMemepool was awesome because it wasn't one of those sites, how to put it -- much better signal to noise ratio, maybe? My god, man, BRING IT BACK!!!!!
- rdl 15y agoDo a memepool + halfbakery + kickstarter + 3d printing as a service + airbnb + Justin.tv + Darwin awards thing. Total vertical integration.
- bascule 15y agoStrongly agree, Memepool was a great well-curated archive of stuff I typically didn't see anywhere else. I <3ed it.
- joshmillard 15y agoHeartbreaker!
- sveinbjorn 15y agoHow about something that is memepool? It's greatness was in the quality of the content rather than anything else.
