Pony update, stat! (Please? Pretty please?)
I forgot that I made that mockup, but I seem to recall some changes made after I did it being made that more or less satisfied my HUNGER FOR RECENT COMMENTS. I think it was just basically making the default page longer.
Not sure how much I'd use the tabs myself, now, being so set in my ways, but I still think they wouldn't be a bad idea. I do find myself wanting to check on my most-recents on the various subsites only more easily sometimes.

Super minor, but I wonder if floating that dropdown to the right and putting it on the same level as the 'Recent Activity on My Comments' H2 wouldn't be good...

Huge threads - can we make them smaller?
The pageload counter on my browser says 17.8 seconds to load the page, and this is with a four year old PC.
Well good for you! Now, how much bandwidth you got? 'cause you know, that might be a factor.
Snarkiness aside, the flat design as it stands is fine and, as mathowie in his wisdom suggests, an effective mild counter to the Endless Thread Wankversation Syndrome.

Oh, come on
There are a surprising number of people in this thread who don't seem to understand what Metafilter actually is. Or what it has been trying to be, for years, despite constant pressure from those who want to post a randomly chosen link to the latest news as an excuse to argue about it.
Not that that's precisely what orthogonality was doing, but you know, who gives a shit?

No.
Oh, it's so lame to tease people like this: I am made of pure faux-elitist shit, a big pile of it. I'm piling up so much poop, I'm gonna have to come up with some sort of filing system or something.

Yeah, I find that incredibly annoying.
Not as annoying as people complaining about how annoying they find it! HAH!

Although 'Quit Fucking Talking' would also be a reasonable, if non-canonical possibility.

Are you perchance spurred by this recent comment (which I just read while catching up)? Quoted for truth would seem to be the obvious interpretation.

NoScript Please
I love NoScript. I hate JavaScript.
Yeah, and those newfangled internal combustion engines piss me right off!
Seriously, how can you even use the web these days without javascript for all the swoopy yellowfade Ajaxification? Even good ol' old school Metafilter relies on it for core functionality like favoriting and shit.
I mean hell yeah I block ads, but blocking all javascript is just ridiculous.

Blocking all web ads is extremely short-sighted. You're making yourself slightly more comfortable at the expense of the websites you use.
Hey, I even block the ads on my own sites. To hell with me!

Mefight Club will have a contingent there, it seems. I'm not following the current thread in our forum, but there's been talk of it. Our tada! second Mefight Meetup!

I usually ask random likely-looking people if they're "friends of Matthew Haughey."
I've always imagined strolling into a bar and shouting 'I LIKE PANCAKES! WHO HERE LIKES PANCAKES?', but there's never been a meetup in Korea, so the opportunity continues to elude me.

What's in a name?
stavros is a Greek name, and a reference to the Crucifixion. Put it together with 'thewonderchicken' and you get an oblique suggestion that ol' Jesus took the easy way out by letting himself getting nailed up, and an invitation to consider the theological ramifications to such a heretical thought.
No, it was just a pub-crawl brainfart, like I say on my profile. (Except that I suspect the 'stavros' part bubbled up because of my friend Stavros Akritides, who ran the Irish... [more]

By the way, I dunno who runs politicalfilter, but pleeeease let me do a design pass on it! (unless you're married to the colour scheme, in which case never mind) Pretty please? I just finished my latest vanity project and I'm looking for something to mess around with...

I blew it after about 30 hours. I'll try again and probably use some nicotine replacement. I'm too deeply hooked to go cold turney, I hve to admit.
Pro-tip: Nicorette inhalers. Worked for me. You have to be OK with looking a bit goofy (or Jetsons retro-futuristic, to put a better spin on it). They really helped me with the psych and habitual motion aspect, especially while social drinking, as well as the weaning-off-nicotine aspect.
