Elephant is dead, long live elephant!

Posted on 4:51 AM by Unknown
Due to joyous things last year like our Internet service provider not, er, actually providing much in the way of an Internet service, Nimbos and I have decided not to renew our subscription for www.concreteelephant.com.

It's not like we'd added anything to it in ages anyway, and it's been more of a spam magnet in the last couple of years than anything else. The original, paper version was a cynical effort to get Famous People in a pub to know who I was, and even to give me some work. Which it did. Hoorah!

Sooner or later - when the ISP finally realises that we've not paid up - Elephant will vanish from the Internet (to haunt the vaults at the Internet Archive ever after). So go have one last play on it now. It's not very funny, but it's free*.

And yet, like the Dalai Lama and vampire slayers, the death of one elephant requires the scouring of All Earth for a successor. The spiffing Millennium Dome, elephant has my very vote for that destiny.

The Dr was especially pleased with MD's detailed biography of CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, MR FROWN.

Oh, and just 'cos I'm lazy, I reserve the right to post old Elephant stuff up here, too. If there's anything that's still any cop.

* Dependent of what ISP package you're using, of course.
