website advert. Sorry guys, no hugs from the Heresiarch today. Go hug yourself, OK? NB: anyone thinking grouphug.us is about some kind of group therapy or something needs to take a look at their front page before voting. [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 01:27, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*KEEP. I have been to the website for ages and I think it's hilarious. I like the site. Yes, it's not exactly group therapy, but there is a sense of "Sharing" going on, as anything said (true or not, some of the stuff is hard to believe, but then again, [[Truth is stranger than fiction]]) is read by somebody somewhere. Sorry that it does ruin your faith in humanity, but just pretend those entrys are fake. Gonna remove [[Bash.org]] because it's not a site that you like either? --[[User:The Inedible Bulk|TIB]] [[User_talk:The_Inedible_Bulk|(talk)]] 01:37, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
*I feel icky saying this, but '''keep.''' It's a pretty popular site, according to Alexa. Needs a better (less misleading) article, though. [[User:Gwalla|<nowiki></nowiki>]] — [[User:Gwalla|Gwalla]] | [[User talk:Gwalla|Talk]] 03:11, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*It is pretty funny, and it's more popular than most sites that get listed on VFD ([http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=Grouphug.us Alexa rating 90,226]).. but I still say '''delete''', I don't think Wikipedia would be enriched by 90,226 articles on subjects such as this. —[[User:Stormie|Stormie]] 03:20, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
**I clicked your Alexa link, and it's telling me that the rating is in fact '''88,832''' A 4 thousand increase since VfD, and we're getting rid of it? Explain that to me. --[[User:The Inedible Bulk|TIB]] [[User_talk:The_Inedible_Bulk|(talk)]] 06:27, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)
***Exactly. When a listing on VfD alone causes a fourfold increase in the ranking, one must question the notability of this site. [[User:Thesilverbail|Deepak]] 14:41, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. A mere description of a minor website, not telling the reader anything that he or she couldn't learn in thirty seconds by visiting the site, has no encyclopedic value. If there were significant information ''about'' a website (involvement in litigation, the President mentioned it in the State of the Union address, somebody committed suicide because of it, etc.), then I could accept an article even if the site fared badly on Alexa. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 04:29, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*90,000 is too high. Delete. [[User:Meelar|[[User:Meelar|Meelar]] [[User talk:Meelar|(talk)]]]] 05:01, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' It may be fun, but if this is all there is to say about the site, then it's unworthy for inclusion. [[User:ClockworkTroll|ClockworkTroll]] 06:35, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*'''Delete''', and help distinguish Wikipedia from DMOZ. --[[User:Ianb|Ianb]] 10:22, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*Delete: An article about affection and alienation in the Internet age and all the ways people have attempted to use the inherently impersonal medium of the Internet to recreate and reincarnate the person to person world would be fun and in-depth, and it would include a ''discussion'' of this site, among others. [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 13:41, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*Delete - [[User:Texture|<font color=red>Tεx</font>]][[User Talk:Texture|<font color=blue>τ</font>]][[User:Texture|<font color=red>urε</font><!-- TANSTAAFL -->]] 15:34, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*Oh, do me a favour! '''Delete.''' [[User:Deb|Deb]] 17:55, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*Ugh. Unless this article gets a major rewrite, delete. [[User:RickK|Rick]][[User talk:RickK|K]] 20:03, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
**So you're saying since it's just a stub it's bad? Eh? --[[User:The Inedible Bulk|TIB]] [[User_talk:The_Inedible_Bulk|(talk)]] 00:47, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
*<s>Delete</s>. I would wager that, since it isn't a discussion site, it's doomed to never become more notable than it currently isn't. How many teenage entries on "I really want to kiss <nowiki>[name of person]</nowiki>" could anyone possibly stand to read? <tt>[[User:Func|func]][[User_talk:Func|(talk)]]</tt> 22:55, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
**It's by an [[iran]]ian, I guess that makes it sorta notable. But then again, if you want to see teenage entries, just surf [[bash.org|bash]] for a few hours. We have an article on that. --[[User:The Inedible Bulk|TIB]] [[User_talk:The_Inedible_Bulk|(talk)]] 00:47, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
**<nowiki>[sigh...]</nowiki> '''Neutral''', (and I'm removing VFD from my watch list, coming here is somehow depressing, <nowiki>[I don't know how you do it all the time, Geogre]</nowiki>). <tt>[[User:Func|func]][[User_talk:Func|(talk)]]</tt> 00:57, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
***Shoot, man, VfD gives me the illusion that I'm ''helping.'' The thing that depresses me is New Pages patrol. That makes me very, very sad, and I can only do it in short bursts. Here, I keep thinking that I'm helping to set the world aright. (And there's a medicine for that, I'm sure.) [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 01:39, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
***I'm sorry if I upset you, I was just expressing my opinion, that was not meant as a personal attack (as you seem to have taken it that way). --[[User:The Inedible Bulk|TIB]] [[User_talk:The_Inedible_Bulk|(talk)]] 01:29, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
****Oh, no... I didn't take anything as a personal attack. I concede that the points you made are strong enough that I would prefer to be neutral rather than cast a delete vote. I was just making one of those dramatic "asides to the audience". <tt>[[User:Func|func]][[User_talk:Func|(talk)]]</tt> 01:51, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*"I was supposed to pack a parachute when my company was assembling a space probe, but I forgot." Heheh. Weak delete, can't see prospect for much expansion. [[User:Lacrimosus|Lacrimosus]] 08:35, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
**I was hoping for some expansion myself, because this site is funny, yet there is not much background info. I was hoping a lot of info would "pop up" like it did for [[Something Awful]], which has barely any of that information available on its own site, at least that I can find. --[[User:69.92.23.31|69.92.23.31]] 02:45, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. --[[User:OldakQuill|[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak]] [[User_talk:OldakQuill|Quill]]]] 15:35, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' only if the article improves; more discussion on the phenomena of random, anonymous confession in the Age of the Internet would be interesting; qv [http://www.tired.com] and [http://slate.msn.com/id/2103823/]. Even if an article on the site itself can't be made into a wikiworthy article, the concept surely can. --[[User:Rossumcapek|Rossumcapek]] 03:26, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
