Just in the last couple of weeks, I've really been thinking about how much I hate the modern internet, how its turned into something that's just distasteful on almost every level, and how much I miss the old amateur internet. And I, too, had stopped checking the NIN Hotline a few years ago. I used to check it every day (remember how Meathead kept us all going through those long, silent years between TF and WT, when we were all semi-convinced that Trent was never going to make any more music?), then every week, then every month...

I just checked it for the first time in...a good while...and seeing that leviathant has come to basically the same conclusion about the modern internet made me feel great.

(I actually checked it because I was looking for that sister-site that had all the old promotional flash doohickeys from the TF era, like one.swf and the sound-grid thing from TDTWWA. Is that site still around and part of the NIN Hotline web ring?)
