BeDoper is dead, long live BeDoperer!

Following the disappearance of SandwichBoy, and his acolyte, Stephen Butters, a group of disgruntled BeDoper readers have eagerly declared BeDoper dead, and have already crowned it's successor: BeDoperer.com.

After getting acquainted of BeDoper.com demise, Stephen Butters's ghost logged into BeShare trying to figure out what was going on. Partial log follows:

• StephenB's Ghost: "But... hey! I was about to start to think of writing something... not fair!".
• dr_evil: "Too little, too late".
• SandwichBoy: "Besides... you're dead already so... stay put, dude!".
• SandwichBoy has disconnected.
• StephenB's Ghost: "Was Jason logged in? Sneaky bastard!".
• BeOS_MrX: "I say BeDoper is abandonware (the site hasn't been updated in almost two years) and thus we're LEGALLY entitled to do with it whatever we want".
• StephenB's Ghost: "You should have attempted to contact us first!".
• [everyone at once]: "We did! But even the BeBits admins are easier to reach!".
• StephenB's Ghost: "Point taken... Who will write the content then?".
• BiPolar: "Don't look at me, I barely speak Broken English! Mike S. did it before, he can do it again!".
• mikesum32: "What? You told me Eugenia had already signed in!".
• StephenB's Ghost: "Drrr!!! That's scary, dudes!".
• (...everybody is thinking hard...)
• mmu_man: "Emacs!!!".
• (...uncomfortable period of silence in the chat window...)
• (Not quite MIA) Technix: "Mmm, ok. What about Bernd? I bet he has enough free time now, and that dude is fuuuunnny!".
• DaaT's sheep: "Bbb... got an ideeea: maybbbe we can geeet Tom Halweirdo on bbbooard!".
• Tom_Halweirdo: "Is Thom, with an H!. And I'm not doing it. My humor is too fine for that".
• (...eyes-rolling silence in the chat window...)

So, there you have it. BeDoper.com is dead, it's succesor has been designated. Still, no one knows who will run it, who will write for it, who will read it, and for how long it will stay online... What else did you expected from a communal BeDope re-rebirth?.

Go back to your regular schedule. Nothing else to see here.
