We're there, just in an alternate dimension.

We're not so much a country as a mobile cuddle party, with caravans full of kittens and rabbits. We're like the gypsies of the island.

Wandering gypsies, distributing whuffles wherever necessary.

That's because it's the same as the enchanted isle of Brigadoon.

This is one of the many islands in the Filter Chain, which doesn't fall under the sovereignity of Metafilter proper and thus doesn't appear on official maps.

And if MetaChat were not a separate island from MetaFilter, the trolls would kill off all the bunnies.

Sooner or later, somebody will draw a larger regional map with MeCha, MoFi and Matt's 23 other websites... but not me.

And then somebody will create a Google maps interface to it, and then, then we'll be posted on boing boing.

"MetaChat is a land forgotten"

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Yeah it's stupid-retarded that jobs and projects are in there but no MeCha. Where's Remixed, for that matter? The wiki? Mofi???? FREEQUONSAR.COM?????????

MeCha is not on the map because it's on a different planet.

We're like the people in Dawn of the Dead living in the mall, with the entrance to our living area hidden behind a fake wall so the zombies won't find us.

(Shhh.)

Uh...Brigadoon wasn't an isle...

Hey, if we get added in, can I get my own little corner of MeChaland named Storyville?[preens]

I call Bonobo Heights.

Oh, OK, brigadoon was a village. Oops. For some reason I remembered it as an isle. Ah well...

BRIGADOON!

posted by drezdn 16 May | 10:34

Ah, so that's what Brigadoon is. It's mentioned in Four Weddings and a Funeral, and I've been mildly curious about it ever since (but not quite curious enough to ever look it up).
