    Or at least, like a lot of people mix up the purposes of downvoting and reaping.

    Makeshifts last the longest.

      Well, either way, the root node is in the archives, approved, searchable, and even highlighted in Worst Nodes. I just can't wait for someone to take that code, slightly modify it, and bring down a network for less-hilarious reasons than blazar did.

      The thing that really bothers me was that the node wasn't reaped because it wasn't malicious, but that it wasn't reaped because people didn't like my consideration text. Thats just stupid.
