Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: World's Worst Website finally killed

[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Goodbye, Grantland. You had absolutely the worst writers in the history of the Internet. ESPN killing the site without almost any warning is the best thing that company has ever done. I can't speak to how ultra-concentrated and distilled the shitty writing was. It was as pretentious as Pitchfork, as pearl-clutching as the comments in Metafilter, as unfunny as xkcd and navel-gazing as Deadspin. Simmons made sure that he didn't hire anyone genuinely funny and he worked hard himself at being a bore. The Internet is a far better place today than it was yesterday. Sure, The Masked Man and Rany Jazayerli were and are awesome, but they were amazing before Grantland. A SLIGHT INTELLECTUAL BENT I stopped hate-reading it a while back but I'm glad there's justice in the world. This is not the Portal of Evil getting deleted. Grantland was not the awesome B-side track that only certain people really knew about. It personified writing as garbage and now it's gone, hopefully forever. The Internet wins. The fucking end. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey! [/quote]
