If you’re like many of our readers, you’ve got Ars Technica bookmarked and hit the front page a few times a day.

The short version

  • But for others, a compelling story is what brings them here for the first time.
  • And the discussions sometimes keep them coming back.
  • Since its launch in 1998, Ars Technica has been known for its depth of community.

What happened

If all you’re doing is checking out the front page and the discussion threads that sit beneath each story, you’re missing out on more than you realize. We’ve also spent some significant time and effort cleaning up ancient markdown and HTML tags that made some of our all-time classic forum threads almost unreadable.

Why it matters

Now you can read the story of Fugly the Octopus , the time someone accidentally swallowed the 7 key on his keyboard , or just another customer service rant —in all of their original glory.
