If you're checking out everything2.com, be sure to do a search for posts by Gritchka, who used to post here as NicholasW. His contributions to everything2 are awesome, IMHO.

It certainly looks interesting, WO'N - but how the heck am I going to have time to use it as well as keep going here?

Well, mm - we were hoping that the injection of new blood into the board would help to strengthen us all
I've grown older, more cynical and more crabby whilst on this board and I was looking forward to you inspiring me with extra strength and a new vision of the world!

What I want to know is why the two? I mean, you'd think they would have covered it the first time! It'd be like having The NeverEnding Story II.

For the same reason there's an "n" in reinyartnation®!

Thanks, Stretch.

Useless, unnecessary and wrong. I'll go with that.

Why "2"?

Aksherly, they answer that on their homepage. Everything2 is, apparently, the second attempt at a freeform, thread (called "node" there) "encyclopaedia" type website. The site does tell one what happened to the first attmpt, called simply "everything", but I couldn't be bothered to LIU.
