✨Reminder!✨ Mefi Bingo game is ongoing! Please tag your related posts with MefiBingo2024, so we can enjoy them all! (for convenience, there's an image in the post to refer to, which also links to a larger size for tired eyes).
... to highlight some great recent posts:
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.
Hey, it's Mefi Bingo! Be cool, get square!
As of November 1, 2024 ... the Metafilter Community Foundation exists as an officially registered Delaware nonprofit non-stock corporation.. Yay! In Metatalk, 1adam12 has a Quick Nonprofit Update from the Interim Board. (Also of site interest, some thoughts from warriorqueen on Seeking community in the face of the US election.)
Come on over for November's LinkMe thread! Share a link you think would make a good post and put it on someone's radar so they can make that post!
There's a few site updates, the first being news from the interim board on transforming MetaFilter from an LLC to a non-profit.
After that, there's the monthly site update!
Oh hey, the current LinkMe thread is here (for links that are interesting but may not work as a front page post, or beginning point / idea for someone else to make a front page post).
We're Old School, we're Vibrant, a Shining Beacon, we're a Time Capsule, a Digital Brigadoon. I guess you could say we are getting a little long in the tooth ... and claw.
MetaFilter started as a community weblog in 1999, later added question and answers, then music by members, jobs, projects by members, a podcast, and finally an area dedicated to meetups.
