Fark is and has been for a very long time my number one time wasting activity at work. I have a number in the 7000's now, and my original handle (the same as this one) was in the 3000s (lost/forgot my password or got bumped. Not sure which.)
It is true that Fark used to be much better. There were times that I would attempt insightful debate and wit. These days I use it as a combination extension of the Nonsense forums and a way of dispersing agression. I post a couple of times daily, sometimes more. I have been both lauded and reviled.
This is a much more sedate, civil place. It has continuity that Fark never had, and a better overall grade of people. Not that there are't fine people at fark, but they are awash in highschool asshats and people indistinguishable therefrom.
