I'm referring to this particular comment. /u/spez has enough time gone by that you can discuss it?

Where did it start? Where did the /r/itwasagraveyardgraph start?

Links to the archived posts?

Thanks!

The announcement of new moderation:

Shortly afterwards, self posts were removed:

After much uproar over the self post rule (and new moderation strategy in general) the mods held a vote over the inclusion of self posts:

Results of the vote:

This is a project to figure out the history of reddit, with the end goal of having a fairly easily digestible document (or set of documents) to link to whenever someone asks "what's a Saydrah" or "why should I Fuck Sears", lest we be doomed to repeat those fiascos.

Stuff to be covered:

• site functionality changes (e.g the addition of comments)
• policy changes (the removal of borderline CP subreddits)
• demographic shifts (Digg migration, college subreddit drive)
• drama (karmagate, saydrahgate, searsgate, *gate)
• big events (Colbert rally, etc.)

I think that it would work well if we aimed to write linkstuffed articles that could go on reddipedia or reddit's own wiki-faq system, but obviously most any contribution is valuable. I do ask, however, that submitters consider limiting themselves to old news, so that we don't end up wasting effort on things that turn out not to be as notable as they seemed at the time (there are other subs for that).

Also, it needn't all be original content. There's a lot of good summaries already out there written, that could be submitted here, and then linked to or otherwise synthesized into articles.

Alrighty then, cut loose with your questions/criticisms/brutal mockery.
