1. TinyURL links I guess this is just me, but I absolutely hate those things. If I was reading a website that my favourite little sister created, with TinyURL links on it, I would still feel uncomfortable clicking them. This is partly due to not knowing where they lead, but also because I am only temporarily blessed with a high bandwidth connection. I would normally have used a telephone line and every click takes forever to actualise. Seeing where I am heading helps me make a decision on whether I am going to follow a discussion point or not.
2. Timing While I laughed at parts of this article, I have a concern about where it could lead. It could be a little close to the bone so recently after the whole Grokwar debacle. For this site to be seen as an entity in its own right, rather than a ANTI-(enter you gripe here) type of environment, I would recommend that this article be postponed until such a time when more roleplayers in the original Grokwars can laugh about the whole scenario.
I am not going to be as presumptios as to point out which parts were funny and which I felt were leaning a bit more to the malicious side (As I am convinced that any percieved maliciousnous was just that: My Perception.)
I love a good satire... but one always walks such a fine line... my personal opinion is that this one should not be published yet.
But a small part of me would be pretty happy if the people who were actually part of the Grokwars (representatives from both sides would have been ideal, but that is just plain wishful thinking) were to vote otherwise
