No social experiment re-run can ever be as interesting as the first time, in the same way that a second play-through of a game or movie is never as good as the first
That's just the nature of doing things for the first time - you discover more when you've never done it before
But the nuances were interesting here, eg the way the community (despite 5 years of changing demographics and users) basically "remembered" the rules it created for itself 5 years earlier. That, itself, is really interesting
I also think this run was more collaborative and open to art and sharing - look how much more art there is this time, and how much more open communities (particularly flags) were to sharing their space
Visually, Place 2.0 is much nicer to look at than the original
There's nothing here!
