ROFLCon Summit is a spin-off of the wildly awesome biennial ROFLCon. It'll bring together the leading generators, preservers and advancers of online culture so they can talk about where it’s all headed and what it means to everyone else. It's an open discussion about why the very same communities that are good at making dumb, funny things online are having a real impact on the world. Join us on October 1st, 2011 in Portland, Oregon for the first-ever ROFLCon Summit to address the incredible potential of the Internet, virality, the blogosphere, and beyond!!!
Oh cool. You should talk to people about the anontalk style sheet and all the good it has done for the world.

So is he a faggot like everyone says, or is he a pretty cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything?

Ask him why he kept /int/ (the board for discussing who is white or not based on their nationality; an utterly worthless cesspit of inane bullshit) but destroyed /new/ (the board that COULD'VE been used to report on things that actually matter but had became a "racist" board because of nonexistent moderators).

She probably would have appreciated you just offering it to her.

Ding ding ding! (And, moot very tactfully asked her about it)

Any memorable quotes?
protip !!pMmAiEwOm (OP) replied with this 15 years ago, 6 minutes later, 10 hours after the original post[^][v]#224,915
@previous (K) paraphrasing…
moot: why did you close it?
Sherrod: I got bored and didn't like what it had become
moot: why so abrupt, then? Don't you feel beholden to your users?
Sherrod: no, it was my site.
Andy Baio: why not just release an archive of the content?
Sherrod: it'd take too much work and I just ran the site—I'm too chickenshit and I'm using the DMCA safe harbor exceptions as a cop-out. If I released it, I'd be liable for the content. (She was actually choking on millions of dicks at this point)

He seems to be kind, calm, and thoughtful. It's clear he has developed strategies for fending off hordes of obnoxious people.
For the last few panels, he sat by the tech and AV crew where nobody could bug him. He watched, laughed, and shot photos.

Yep! It's all recorded and should end up at archive.org

I really want to see the looks on her face. I'm actually somewhat surprised that she agreed to appear at all, given she probably knew she would get a metric fuckton of shit if she did a panel.

Cunt.
So what other Interfucks were there?

Sherrod is (unsurprisingly) unapologetic and steadfast about her power to make her own decisions and not care what others say. It's an odd personality to witness.
The intro to the panel aludes to a private conversation between the moderator and panelists about their backgrounds. It seems as though Sherrod had likely made it clear she wanted some assistance with criticism.

Chris seemed humored about the ponies and shrugged it off. He said he didn't really understand it, and that it was clear how people were doing it and namefagging to piss off others.

Thanks for that link. Will be checking it periodically with hopefully some YT updates.

Do you mean to say that she wanted the moderator to keep the hatefulness from the audience to a minimum level?

Yeah, that's what I could suss out of it. Every mention of ED was structured to avoid leaving her vulnerable to audience hate.

On a side note, what did she have to say about ohinternet? For example, any news, future plans, etc.

Sherrod: it uses the semanticwiki plugin so non-technical people can contribute. [she then moves on…]

Sorry for all of the questions, bud. Did anyone bring up KnowYourMeme at all (even if not related to Sherrod)?

Here’s a pic of him giving Sherrod shit, btw.
(this is where he sat for the last half of the event; it was his anti-neckbeard strategy)
