[edit] OSDN

There's a reference to OSDN in the text, which I would like to explain, but the reference in Wikipedia goes to something called SourceForge, Inc. So, having investigated, I understand that OSDN means Open Source Development Network. So, why is OSDN mentioned at all? Will somebody kindly fix this sentence so it means something to the average reader? Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 19:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Has there been a coup?

I got the [censored] with Everything2 years ago with their 'all new nodes must be deleted' policy. However, I logged in a moment ago and apparently Dem Bones hasn't been running e2 for over a year now. Does anyone know what's happened? --Surturz (talk) 00:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Dem bones retired and was replaced by dann (now katherine) in 2005. See related blog post for discussion about the handover and The Power Structure of E2 for current info on who's in charge. --Muchness (talk) 01:07, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] broader in interest, although smaller in number

I added the "smaller in number" clause. Everything2 is now getting less than 100 logins a day according to the statistics block when you log in. I can't seem to link to that stats block for a reference unfortunately, but it is not OR. --Surturz (talk) 06:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Uh, that number would be the number of new users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.9.6.175 (talk) 18:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad. I forgot about the time zone differences, and thought that the stats were for the end of the day, when they were actually about half-way through. I reckon e2 is still smaller than when it started, but it would require verification to put that in the article. --Surturz (talk) 12:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Current Tagging

I'm familiar with the site, which I frequented heavily between 2000-2006, and I still visit it, though I'm not a "god" or other in group person there. Opening this section for resolution of the two outstanding tags. 74.78.162.229 (talk) 03:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tone

What are the specific complaints? I don't see anything above. 74.78.162.229 (talk) 03:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see. There are some fact discrepancies as well as language tone issues. Well someone else will need to address those; cleaned-up some stuff I knew to be flat false in the InfoBox. 74.78.162.229 (talk) 03:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

This site is a more spontaneous (from the beginning the users sort of took over with a relatively minimal direction from the site) and a less transparent one than wikipedia so I don't see how there could be primary sources for anything other than the founding of the site or the opinion of this or that group that has come and gone in the near decade it's been in operation. Footnotes for footnotes sake becomes idiotic at some point, so specific fact checks may be more appropriate here. 74.78.162.229 (talk) 03:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually see that this is stale so removing the tag. Also trying to fix some bolixed refs. 74.78.162.229 (talk) 03:23, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Facts

IIRC "the Interregnum" the time the site was offline was several months, not one as indicated. 74.78.162.229 (talk) 03:42, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
