[edit] On capitalization
to the best of my knowledge, "bianca" has never been capitalized. not only can this be seen in their logo (which has remained unchanged for many years), but also in freeform's (one of the founders) referenced essay. the original author of this article went so far as to modify the quote from the essay to capitalize "bianca" upon including it in the article. i believe it is correct to leave the b lowercase.

[edit] "First" web-based chat-room
i am content to leave this (and even believe it), but it would be nice to have some references out there. surely wired or something has some hard facts (pro or con)? i could find at least one other contender in a quick search, but who knows. (sitelab) this also, of course, depends on how you define chat room. Jon Lon Sito 21:29, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] First 500 web sites
i am less convinced about the quote "one of the first 500 sites on the web", so have removed it. there are a couple places on wikipedia alone that give evidence to the contrary: User:Zompist/Early Web Info and List of websites founded before 1995. again, its subject to the definition of "web site" and the method used to count, but i think this text is a bit misleading.

Much of the detail of the demise of the sigght was not represented, so I added the additional info
[edit] bianca's demise
The message boards at bianca.com are no longer operational and have not been so since late 2004; this includes the original smut shack. You may read the messages which are there but you cannot post new ones or reply to old ones. biance's chat is the only part of the site which still works, although it is down at the moment and it is uncertain if and when it will return. biance's email address is supposedly still valid but I am unsure if anything gets through and/or who, if anyone, reads/responds since I have not sent anything.
[edit] Removing The Reef creation section?
What's the point in removing the section on the creation of The Reef? Is that in dispute? If not, it seems relevant to me. —the preceding comment is by Mattgrommes - 19:08, 27 September 2006 UTC: Please sign your posts!
(Yes, I'd say that the editorial section about how and why the Reef was created was completely and utterly false. If you'd like detailed information on the creation of the site, feel free to contact me. I have no problem clearing the air. Please understand that a lot of rumors run rampant when things like this happen. The truth may be told by the person (me) who created the Reef, along with the other Admins on site. It's not nearly as interesting or entertaining as the rumors (One more thing, I am not the one who took that portion out. That was someone else. Thanks. :) though....

[edit] Grammatical errors corrected
I retouched some of the grammatical errors in the last paragraph that describes the present operational status of bianca.com. It should read more clearly now. —the preceding comment is by Sandybeaches
