Via Jason Kottke, it appears that Suck.com has – after a long time with no new content – turned in to a porn portal. (More info from waxy.org.)
If true, it’s the end of an era. Suck was one of the first online content sites – some call it a webzine; I don’t consider it such – that just got the web, what it could do and how to present content online.
Well, Suck.com has been gone for some time now; only those who were on the Web in a big way before the March 2000 dotcom bust really recall it.
But it’ll be missed.
On the other hand, I hope someone got a great price for the domain (pointing or otherwise). Suck.com – while it means something to the old Webbies – is probably something people surfing for porn try just for shits and giggles.
