A penny for your thoughts isn't worth it...

Posted November 28, 2003 11:04 AM.

Intriguing Barbelith fact: Each post currently costs around 1 pence (UK), or precisely 1.6213519580942878523322524320279 cents (US). If we had more posts, then that cost per post would actually decrease, because - at least at the moment - we're paying a fixed cost for bandwidth and storage. It's on that basis (and the fact that Barbelith is now open for new members once more) that I invite you to join immediately. The cheaper we can make each post the better! Although, having said that, only high-quality intelligent posts or highly witty comments are acceptable. Why not consider it an alternative to trying to sign up to Metafilter, only with more in-jokes and a weirder moderation system?

that's all very well for the rss turncoats, but the *normal* people don't see it.

No to menation that conversation on Barbelith is better and more fun than on MetaFilter.
