Will the corpse of this site linger like Gawker.com? Also, what do you think they’ll call the next one?

So...

Thank you. I sometimes feel like I get way too long but when I love something I want to talk about it. It’s nice to know someone actually reads it.

Haha. Hahaha. I’m a weird, mostly lurker that came to Splinter at least once an hour, and probably more during Gawker’s heyday. And now I can’t keep from ghouling around its corpse :(

The last post. 😢

Nope, Bad Janet is incapable of being kind without having her face melt off.

Where is the Commentariat heading next? I’ll miss reading all of you guys’ cogent comments, witty retorts and punny bon mots. Reply in the comments

Splinter died on the way back to its planet?

Wow. I mean the dick move is not surprising but, still, what a dick move.

Yeah, I was also blindsided when I went to check the morning news. Just out of the blue...

The new ownership sucks and sounds like it treats the writers like shit.

We should probably share this on the other sites. I know I will.

RIP Splinter:

You know, that reminds me of a historical tour I took of my town once. Some of the older building have little plaques on them with the names of private fire departments. A few of them have two or even three of them with different names. Apparently, when the town was built, there was no public fire department and you…
