RIP to a real Website.
While not my actual real last post, emotionally my "final cohost post" was written days earlier. It's mirrored over here, which brings me to the fact that there is a mirror. While the cohost page may stay up, redirecting to the Internet Archives's Wayback Machine, I have my favorite posts archived over here.
I'm not going to dwell here on what a tragedy(It's a HUGE tragedy) and loss it is that cohost couldn't survive. Instead I'm going to highlight some things I did there that I enjoy. Allow me to recommend a few posts.

We'll see which ones of these actually ends up working for me. Anyways, until next time...

Many features of the site are just as vulnerable for abuse and anti-patterns than anywhere else. It's strange.... There is no reason a post on Cohost couldn't have the notification shattering virility of a good tumblr post. It's a cultural difference. Taking away certain numbers isn't necessarily the same benefit to ever...
