Well, THAT Sucks!

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.
