Hey, yoz! Thanks for the shout-out. That is probably my favorite post of mine on the site (out of 100+ and counting). So wonderfully serendipitous and fun. Ever

Hey, yoz! Thanks for the shout-out. That is probably my favorite post of mine on the site (out of 100+ and counting). So wonderfully serendipitous and fun. Everything about that game is a joy. I was actually looking back into some of the Starlight Lines forum stuff a few months ago when I discovered with dismay that the original URL (starlightlines.com) was down. I was thrilled to figure out you'd managed to resurrect it! (Did you ever see that email I sent you back in September?) Anyway, the story of that hidden community is so great, I did my level best alerting anyplace that had originally picked up the story for a correction on the new URL so people could know it was still around. Apart from the fine folks at H2G2: http://h2g2.com/feedback/A388334/conversation/view/F47997/T8310537 http://h2g2.com/feedback/A388334/conversation/view/F47997/T8... ...I didn't get much success -- including no response from Kotaku UK when I mailed them offering help for their pseudonymous writer on H2G2 who had been asking for leads on the apparently dead forum: http://h2g2.com/entry/A452125/conversation/view/F55683/T8309967 http://h2g2.com/entry/A452125/conversation/view/F55683/T8309... It's good to see he ended up doing something with the story after all -- though it would be nice if he'd hat-tipped the MeFi thread where he apparently lifted that "sentient tomatoes" quote from verbatim (unless of course that's just a favorite turn-of-phrase of yours). Lately, MeFi needs all the Google juice it can get. Cheers, and thanks for all the great stories!
