I gave up a long time ago trying to describe it to anyone else. Giving a few examples of reviews verbally never works.  From my own use of the site (reading pages of funny reviews) I've worked out that a single review on it's own often doesn't stand up. But put 10-20-50 of them together and they feed on each other and increase the entertainment level. An good example of this would be the Chatterbox page; take a single review on it's own and present it to someone verbally and I'll inevitably get an "Eh?". And if I read a single one on it's own I often think "Hey, that's not bad" but it seldom generates more than a smile. But, if I sort the Chatterbox page by votes, start at the top and read, then by the time I'm half-way down I'm in stitches.  The jokes feed on each other, it's not necessarily each individual joke that's so funny, but the fact that so many people have come up with so many different ways of describing the same thing makes it probably the funniest page on the internet. I'd say it's similar in concept to a good stand-up comedian; the best best laughs are probably in the middle or towards the end of the routine, not necessarily because the funniest jokes are there, but the endorphin levels build up and it takes less of a joke as time goes on to keep the laughter going.
So, if someone wants to know what fwfr is, I give them some links, as follows (all sorted with highest votes at the top):-
a) Fwfr home page
b) Top 100/500 page
c) Chatterbox front page
d) My page 
e) Two of my favourite other fwfrers (I won't mention who, I don't want anyone to feel left out  )
and if that doesn't hook them, then nothing will.  |

I never stop telling people about this site. That's why I wrote this review of the site.

CL: THIS IS GREAT! 
BENJ: I strongly urge you to consider posting CL's site-review - with her permission, of course -- somewhere in the FAQs. I believe it would be extremely helpful to clarify those niggly niggles that torture newbiews.
Wotcha reckon?

Why, thank you Bafta! That's a lovely compliment. I have no problem with Benj putting a link to my article on the FAQs if he wants. In fact, I would be honoured!
