theory for which I have no proof

[qwantz]

I HAVE A THEORY, and that theory is that Wikipedia has killed the fan page. Now, the itch to make a site about Show X, with Show X pictures and favourite sound clips and episode summaries is too easily scratched by adding to the Wikipedia page about Show X, or even just reading the existing Show X Wikipedia node

You should write a song about it.

[derobrash]

I concur.

If Qwantz does not, I most certainly shall.

Feel free! I don't know how to express myself in the medium of song

I like to think of it as uniform organization housecleaning the Internet.

Good theory and I agree. Clearly there is much less amateur web design period because of things like MySpace and Facebook.

The only reason I've joined both MySpace and Facebook is because folks I know are on both and I need to network.

I miss those! I spent my adolescence wandering from Geocities fansite to Geocities fansite. Where have they all gone?

[qwantz]

Here's the first hit for "Geocities fansite"!

it's pretty much the ideal form of geocities fansites.

Noo! It doesn't work for me. Wtf, internet.

This theory would be more plausible if it featured a very tall and smarmy man twirling his mustache.
