Fuckedcompany served an important role as a reality check on some of the more idiotic aspects of the bubble. As an entrepreneur who was active at that very time I really want to thank you for providing a bit of a backdrop against which my strategy made some sense. I realized early on that 'go big or go home' would probably translate into 'go bust or go home' and I felt that the huge number of businesses that ended up in the 'go bust' bin versus the ones that made it turned the whole art of running a business more into something resembling a lottery.

So I agree fully with not bringing it back but if we ever get into another out-of-control over-hyped dumb money situation then I really hope that you or someone like you will do a re-run of fuckedcompany.com.
