Cripes... "...a mascot we call the Propeller Professor. With his fashionable beanie and goatee..."
Now we have Maynard G Krebs dropping bennies helping us on the way to propeller cool.
When did this place become "propeller" again?
And what was it before?
I'll second the "cautiously optimistic".
Hopefully, it will mean an end to the crap spammers and the sock puppets. Otherwise, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I'm still wondering why AOL changed the name from Netscape to Propeller. The Netscape Band name was well known and I would tell folks to come to Netscape and join this new social news site they have. But once the name changed, folks was like "What's Propeller?" etc. etc. I was turned off myself for a while, but I'm looking forward to the new upgrades Propeller (aka Netscape) will have.

Ah well, this time it was the single one that vanished..
RIP..
Speaking of which - are virtual public executions of spammers and sock-puppets on the new bill-of-fare??
And, according to defined criteria, of our nemeses??
If so I think I could start learning to knit and play Mme Defarge.

(NEW?) I've been learning how to think ahead when I post comments. JUst post "New" and then when it registers twice edit the second post to "Improved."
Yes ind, I too forsee the nostalgia for the days when a burning desire often becomes a wild and raging fire.
And, when an impetuous and cras retort gets posted twice or even three times. Will the character building through utter humiliation be lost forever?
Ha! No worries, huh?

Looking forward to test-driving this new baby!
Hope that you'll also be looking for lots of feedback and that propeller will be a continually evolving medium..
For example, how about some international development, taking into account of - and benefitting from - the simple fact that the www is precisely that and that there's a whole planet out there that's already spinning too.
And when is D-DAY??!!
