Why is Dr. J deserting us?

Dr. J also needs to make that paper.

I think he’s just spreading his wings, isn’t he?

I think he’s just going through the rebellious stages of adolescence right now.

He is just doing his bit marketing the site. Having a presence on those other sites allows him to spread the word about Fluther.

Also, when the site went down last week, they used Twitter to let people know.

Who is Dr. J?

Oh Marina – you’re no fun! Where’s the outrage?

@Blackberry Dr. J is the jellyfish with the glasses on the homepage.

Why do we care?

@pdworkin What are you, a nihilist?

You know those jellyfish – always floating around, never staying still. That’s why they’re so difficult (and painful) to catch.

It’s a big ocean out there. It’s time for Dr. J to explore a bit. But he knows where home is.

Oh my, I just heard the news…... Dr. J is leaving? That will cause me great issues with abandoment. By the way, who is he?

It has all the signs of a site about ready to disappear on us – yet again – oh nooooooooooooo

The interview I saw did not sound like Fluther was shutting down- just the opposite.

Maybe he’ll back someday after finishing his job in other site.

Am I the only one who uses sites other than fluther?

I just talked to Dr J and he’s not leaving any time soon. It just decided it was time to explore some other websites in the ocean. Fluther isn’t going away any time soon. We’re strong than ever and that’s official.

i am simply a curious man, @janbb, and so far I have learned nothing that inclines me to give a shit about who Dr J is and/or where he goes.

@timtrueman I think you forgot something. Just like Taco Bell’s burritos have “Meat™”, I think you mean “We’re stronger than ever and that’s official™.”

Sounds like marketing, and having alternative places to give updates if Fluther is down.

@downtide Ding ding ding! Always good to have additional avenues of communication when shit goes down.

Dr. J would never leave us! He knows we’d only track him down and make a PB & Jellyfish sandwich out of him.

Hah, they changed the banner. Your outrage got to him.

@augustlan Maybe we can put a tracking device on his tentacle. ;) Not supposed to sound dirty. I swear.

@Allie but it did.

He needs to spreafd his male jelly to impregnate more people, turning them into Flutherites.

At least she’s not going to MySpace.

Yes, Dr. J is a woman, you sexist pigs!

@sferik I disagree. Dr. J has a tentacle. Ask Allie.

Why does it mean he’s leaving?

@ubersiren What I was going by was on other sites, when people started making ‘announcements’ like that, the end was approaching It happened on wis.dm, Y!A, 360 Blog and on AB (which didn’t technically disappear, just transmogrified).

He’s not leaving and Fluther isn’t going anywhere. It was a poorly worded attempt at being cute while trying to say we’re going to start using Facebook and Twitter for fun, new feature announcements and any downtime issues.

No more talk about something that isnt’ going to happen!

Hahahaha, poor @timtrueman. So much hassle.

@timtrueman Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. xoxoxoxox

@timtrueman I’m sorry this caused a firestorm. I thought it was clear I was larking about; my sense of humor is apparently not always clear to others.

Glad to see that we’re going to be around. :-)
