   The other Keanu sites I've seen are pretty serious, and some are even   
   like shrines. Keanuville could be more interesting than   
   the majority of them because KV has a sense of humor and the potential   
   to be funny on a wider scale than it now is.   
      
   Instead it's set up in a way which ask its readers to relate to its   
   personal prejudices, engrossment with net kookery and old   
   flamewars, etc. Doesn't the interest in that sort of thing dwindle after   
   a few weeks or months? But the spleen and orgasm things, that stays   
   current and funny because it's about Keanu and it's funny stuff.   
      
   Instead of setting up Keanuville as a cybertown connected to Keanu films   
   and characters, which could be really funny and interesting to a lot of   
   people, it introduces itself as a satirical   
   fortress from a long-dead usenet war which means nothing at all to the   
   majority of people that click on the site hoping to see Keanu material.   
      
   Okay, I assume I'm still being satirized and ridiculed there years in   
   reruns of old garbage after everybody (except maybe 3-4 people) has   
   ceased to care. But all the same I wonder why so much potential is   
   wasted on the personal gripes

   Red DOG gets to be the last person in the world that gets to cry about   
   devotion...no matter who she's replying to, what the subject is, which   
   NG it is, etc, she's got us in her signature, begging for others to get   
   involved and to relate to her usenet flamewars.   
      
   SNAG!!!
