In my as yet completely unsuccessful attempt to revive an internet meme, I was somewhat sketchy on the idea of planets, mostly because they were not something I ever used. I suggested that they were automatic accretions, without detailed curation. I was wrong, as Fluffy pointed out when a group of us couldn’t quite get the history straight. Fluffy rambled about Planet Planet and set us straight.

Planet Quake … was a hand-curated collection of all the news about the game Quake.

TIL.
