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)

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)

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)
 * If you ever browse through you only ever get stuff that's 5-10 years old. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.41.68 (talk) 07:21, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed this as well. E2 was my Wiki before there was a Wiki. It had a couple things I think worked well...the pool of related links at the bottom of each node (wow, I remembered the slang!) was cleverly generated. Man, though -- is it truly being used more now than it was during what I think of as its heyday? This talk about a site that (yeah, despite the open-source "no money!" kinda vibe of the arrangement) used to rival Wiki in *my* mindshare ) was basically bumming for spare server space....well, sorry, not-a-messageboard, but its striking.  Of course, Wikipedia begs too -- but instead of begging for a little chunk of server in a college somewhere, it begs for $30 million ;)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.56.24 (talk) 05:41, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

Site down?
The site seems to be down. The last snapshot at the wayback machine is from Jan 2011: http://web.archive.org/web/20110108152202/http://everything2.net/--200.83.246.105 (talk) 17:00, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Sold for how much?
Also the date seems suspect, needs a source. 72.228.190.243 (talk) 21:29, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Falling traffic
This article could do with some mention on how popularity/traffic has massively fallen over the last 10 years or so? 82.152.144.89 (talk) 17:49, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Twice Incorporated?
The first paragraph on the History section details to some extent how E1 was incorporated twice into E2. I don't have the slightest clue what that means, and what I suspect it means, seems redundant, or perhaps slightly oxymoronic. I think that would be a point that could use clarification and/or elaboration. 125.253.100.87 Torsov (talk) 09:30, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
