Since when does MeFi have its own source icon on Fark?

As long as I've been going there; the Last-Modified header on the graphic is Jun 5, 2002, which might be the creation date.

For quite a while, I believe, but don't read too much into it. Hell, Jack Chick has his own source icon there too.

So is this "Fark" something that I'd need a computer to have heard of?

Lol.

Not much to add, but They've had that tag for a long time. There seems to be some overlap between mefi and fark, actualy.

Nope. Nor to fellate a hobo in the park.

ten bucks a month gets you what is essentially vip access. you get to see stuff before freeloaders do, and you get to see stuff freeloaders don't.

i'm sure there's more, but i'm not a member.

Thanks, but I was kidding. I didn't realize that people actually pay for that. Yikes.

Hey, that Fark metafilter tag is what got me to check out MeFi to begin with (all thos many moons ago). I was peering in through the MeFi gates for the longest time ... and then Matt said, gimme $5 and I can sneak you in. I was in like flint ...
and I forgot the point of this post ... maybe it was Matt got $5 from Fark having a MetaFilter tag.

Fark? Never heard of it.

I also would like to impress upon everyone the fact that I am too sophisticated to read Fark.

being a totalfark member is really the only way to have a meaningfull discussion, actualy. Threads are usualy filled up with TFer comments before the prolies get in.

I'd sign up, but I'm afraid I'd spend like 20 hours a day pooring through all the crap :P
