About a week ago I did a 'Print Screen' of the MVA list. I just thought it would be kind of neat to have a time capsule type thing, as Ubersite (especially its authors and their hits) are always changing.
I was inspired by the Mozilla Tab Info pic, with its embarassingly dated layout, including the Most Often Reviewed list (some having as many as THIRTY reviews!). It reminded me that Ubersite capitalizes on random, chaotic, unpredictable, flexible, bizarre human behavior to generate a website that is, in fact, better than your website. But that's old news.
I didn't attach the screenshot but rather a bastardised Photoshop'd redux of it, for easier viewing and speculation as to the true meaning of a constantly-altering hit-oriented environment. Enjoy!

It will be someday. And that is the point. Right now it is of little or no value, but it will provide a permanent window to the way things used to be in the Ubersite future.

I'm not really sure what's entertaining about this post.
Nothing, for me.

Alright, here's the deal. Do the same exact format and reformat it everyday for the next 4 months or year or so. Then at the end of the year, turn it into a flash movie so it's like a time-lapse thing. If you need help with the flash movie, talk to me. Or you can just make a .gif animation.
Then again, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

I read it twice and I couldn't manage to like the idea of this.

This is a very good idea Ingsoc. In fact, you could take a screen shot of it every day and have like a daily shot of it. It's kind of like that one guy who took a picture of himself every day for I don't know how many years.
