Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.
It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.
I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

That and half the commentators were about as interested in and fans of sports as I am of the Oprah Winfrey show. I want people who cover sports to be enthusiasts of said sports. Also, watching women play sports is akin to watching a Freshman or Middle School boys team play. It's just not compelling to someone who loves excellence.

That is literally true: if you take the best women in the world in nearly any sport, and train them full-time for years in state-of-the-art facilities, their peak performances will by roughly comparable with those of the best 12-15 year old boys in after-school programs.
One of my colleagues told me the other day that the women's something-or-other team essentially went on strike for higher pay a while ago because the men got paid so much more than they did, although the women were much higher ranked than the men. I said, "Have them play against each other and they'll see why."
I don't watch sports because who-gives-a-crap, but why should people who play at the JV boys high school level (like female Olympians do) receive the same pay and recognition as the men who play at the world-class level?
Notice the difference between female "athletes" and female "soldiers." We integrate the sexes in the military because politicians must face voters, while you never see that in sports because there's money involved. If that doesn't put the lie to women's alleged political powerlessness, I don't know what does.
