 Forum Posts: 4842 Comments: 381 Reviews: 13 | ink - yes, it is. Read the current posts on that site and... got a bit emotional. These are moments when I love the internet. Of course, there can be said a lot about the shift of attitude and herd mentality and how it takes just the right nudge to get the snowball rolling... and that it could shift with 180 degrees again in no time... but let's enjoy this while it lasts ;) forgive my skepticism. Connie's influence, I guess. | ||

| Forum Posts: 1364 Comments: 153 Reviews: 0 | It's already shifting. Now it's more about extracting Keanu from the Keanu-on-bench photo and pasting him into all sorts of different photos. I LOLd at first, but now I see the comments starting to shift, too. We may be able to push it back in the right direction if the SWAT team moves in, stealthily, and write some comments here and there on Reddit. There are several Keanu threads there now.
I've already started, hopefully more of us will follow. Right? And then there's also the http://thankyoukeanu.com/ site, where I really would like to see some more thank you's while this wave of Keanu love still rolls. | ||

Forum Posts: 10 Comments: 1 Reviews: 0 | Hi guys! I just got an email from Anakin McFly that was submitted at thankyoukeanu.com and discovered this site. I'm the guy who designed the thankyoukeanu.com site and just wanted to drop and personally thank all of you who have submitted your comments so far. I had no idea Keanu was such a stand-up kind of dude and I think it all makes us feel a little better knowing there are genuinely awesome people out there doing good things with their lives.
I'm moving thankyoukeanu.com to a dedicated server as we speak, so you can probably count on it being around for a while. Like another redditor said, good job being ahead of the curve on this one. :D | ||

| Forum Posts: 4842 Comments: 381 Reviews: 13 | Funkelbie - on this one ? heh ;) :D
thank you for setting up the thankyoukeanu.com site and for the work you are putting into it. I submitted a comment too, so I'm looking forward to see it posted once the site is available again ;) and man, am I glad the Internet is beginning to see the light ! ;) at least for a while...

| Forum Posts: 4842 Comments: 381 Reviews: 13 | another thread, courtesy of twitter http://gawker.com/5557791/keanu-reeves-almost-unbelievably-nice Funkelbie - maybe some of these comments could find a place on 'your' site too ;) | ||

| Forum Posts: 1364 Comments: 153 Reviews: 0 | The http://thankyoukeanu.com/ site is still down. Gone. :-(
Edit: Now it's up again! I guess it was just "down" in my cache. | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3076 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Yeah, Funkelbie mentioned that the site had too much traffic and went down due to overload; might be back soon though. | ||

Forum Posts: 10 Comments: 1 Reviews: 0 | It should be all fixed now. I'm working on adding a development blog to the site so visitors can keep up with any outstanding issues or plans for new features. I also created a Twitter (twitter.com/thankyoukeanu) where I'll be posting new submissions and information relevant to the site.
Also I think I'm caught up on submissions now. If anyone submitted something and you don't see it on the site, simply resubmit it and I'll get it posted as soon as possible. | ||

| Forum Posts: 4842 Comments: 381 Reviews: 13 | Funkelbie - the Keanu fandom has you ;) :D
I've witnessed the genesis of WINM and now I'm watching with fascination how 'your' site grows and improves with each day. Thank you, man. "the strange and wonderful people of the Internet" indeed ;) got a complaint about my post there, though. it shouldn't be signed 'Dave'. don't have split personality ( not yet, at least) ;) :D | ||

Forum Posts: 24 Comments: 4 Reviews: 0 | I'm all for not liking the pap that tried to sue Keanu but the racial and homophobic comments are so uncalled for. It really makes me sad when people go that low to insult someone. Just hate him because he'a a pap not because he's hispanic. Gross! FYI: I'm talking about the comments on the fake Keanu encyclopedia @ http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Keanu_Reeves | ||

| Forum Posts: 1364 Comments: 153 Reviews: 0 | The whole nature of the encyclopædia dramatica is rude/offensive/ironic, but they're trying to do it in a humourous way. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't. :-/
On an entirely different note, Guardian UK has now, as (one of?) the first "real" newspapers, caught on to the SadKeanu meme: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/jun/13/keanu-reeves-outpouring-of-love | ||

| Forum Posts: 491 Comments: 111 Reviews: 0 | In Spain we have a saying: "No puedes pedirle peras al olmo", which roughly translated would be: "you cannot expect to get pears from an elm tree". The meaning is clear, isn't it? | ||
