MetaFilter, Albania

MetaFilter: A small city in Albania? This is, to be perfectly clear, a link to a site designed primarily with the intent of getting people to link to it.

That was...incredibly stupid.

I approve.

would this count as a self-link, if it were wolfdog's personal mini city?

Well, at least we're ranked above Shit, Albania.

Swimming is the best form of exercise. Also, Jesus is the reason for the season.

MetaFilter unemployment is running at 41%. Is this a feature rather than a bug?

Wolfdog, don't you feel a responsbility to explain what the fuck this is?

No, Unemployement is at 41%. That metric is completely different from Unemployment.

Really, only motivation in posting this was I hope at some point it is possible to wage war against THOSE MACEDONIAN BASTARDS.

Screw MyMiniCity.com and Miniville.fr both. Do you know how many hit-and-run Romanian IRC spam bots #mefi has had to kick because some idiot keeps setting them to pop into channels to do hit-and-run myminicity and miniville autoposts?

Not to mention the day this meme hit 4chan.

That city looks like Chernobyl.

There's a 4chan city... in Niger (which is where you'd expect it to be for phonetic reasons). I haven't delved into it, but if it's anything like the site it must be full of meth labs, anime shops and porno theaters.

Wow, no crime yet. Okay, I'm gonna need some whores, some crack, and a shitload of guns. Is there a specific URL I need to click to get those things?
posted by effwerd at 10:17 AM on December 17, 2007

for real, is there some way we could have fun with this? or is it really just for purposeless linkwhoring?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm having fun trying to build houses by posting "what does '.' mean in a post?" to the news bulletin area.

Hello, sir. I am a Nigerian prince with US$20BAJILLION tied up in bank seized by coup. Turns out my people didn't like me keeping US$20BAJILLION out of their hands for no good reason.

This thing is retarded. You can't even do anything with it.

You can link to it. That's gotta count for something.

Astro Zombie only has one resident, which puzzles me, as there are four Astro Zombies.

Anybody else notice that this is basically viral marketing for some site called DinoParc.com?

I can't believe that this thread hasn't been deleted yet.
