I'm legit bummed out by this.

I understand the reasons behind it, but it's still sad that the original website will be closing down.

FOB wasn't just the home for all of Michael's podcasts for the past 17 years, it was a resource of information, particularly the Death and Return of Superman era.

The website Fortress of Baileytude will be going away in early November. Full details in this post but the short answer as to why is real life and money. This will not have any impact on my current shows as they are hosted through Libsyn.

OTD: "Mirror, Mirror" premiered, introducing the mirror universe (and the agony booth and Spock's beard) on #StarTrekTOS. That universe would later be revisited on #StarTrekDS9, #Enterprise, #StarTrekDiscovery, #StarTrekProdigy, and in a training exercise, #StarTrekLowerDecks.

Explain your username:

I wanted a name that was a reference to both Ghostbusters and Spider-Man... Then I remembered there's an episode of The Real Ghostbusters called "Venk-Man," in which Peter temporarily becomes a superhero.

(I also liked that name because it has a hyphen just like Spider-Man)

Explain your username:

So it depends because it has evolved.

When I was starting on online art it used to be some variation of "MahiGyal"

Mahi- it's a fish.
Gyal- a play on "gal" a term for folks who are fond of gyaru, and wear the fashion
The fish but is because I played splatoon competively
