i've poked around there just now, and have completely forgotten just how.... ancient the old WP looked. it was a relic.

Olive Oil Mom got pissed off at the moderators on WP, and started here own rival site called "Right Planet" patterned after Wrongplanet. And it attracted a few folks (all apparently one time, or still current WP members). But its died out pretty much. Even OOM herself never visits it anymore.
yeah, that was a lot of fun. fond memories.
(not really)
i posted on her site once or twice.
I posted a couple of times under the name "Spikemarlin".
Yeah...the whole foundation of her rival website was her momentary anger at WP. Not surprising that her site is fizzling (like momentary anger fizzles).
And also not surprisingly she found that she couldnt run the site without instituting rules of her own that were pretty similar to the rules she was fleeing from on WP (on her site she goes into double talk about her site's 'non rule rules' which are little different from WP's rule rules!).
