After six long years, I can finally say:
Massive thanks to Mysterious Kevin for all his help making my return home easy and painless. I couldn’t have done this on my own.
Please note that the first time you comment (whether it’s with a WordPress account, or your Twitter, Facebook, or Google login), you’ll get tossed into moderation while it waits for me to ensure you’re not a robot or a dick. This should only happen once.
first. haha. glad the sites online.
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: First person to leave a comment at WWdN in over six years.
Another comment per your request from the land of the big red +.
So after wilw on Twitter most of these “missing years” you can reach beyond #140
WWdN FTW.
Welcome back!
Yay! Glad WWdN is back!
I just watched the Leverage “The Last Dam Job”, I am so hooked on this show and it’s your fault! I only started watching because you were on it. It’s a lot of fun, and I’ve fallen in love with the whole cast.
A glorious reawakening. I can also confirm that account creation is working as well.
Sweetness! Welcome back wilwheaton.net. Good job Wil & Company!
Woot!! Well done Wil!!
I’m just seeing if I can post with my Twitter account.
I’m going to bed now, and since I’ll have to approve comments, don’t worry if you don’t see yours for 12 hours or so.
Thanks for coming here, reading and commenting. I hope you’ll dig through the archives, because there’s some stuff there I’m really proud of.
Welcome home, sir.
Ohhh and thanks to a new plugin, I can sign-in (and so can you) using Google, Facebook, or Twitter! Hooray for not having to create any new accounts!
I’m only commenting because i can login from billions of sites without creating a login :D:D
btw, surely we are up to dot NET 3.0 ? 2.0 has had many revisions but no major release candidates … its slower to update than a Debian distro!
I considered making this 3.0, but Exile was really just one version between 1.5 and 2.0, and since this is the first major revision to WWdN in six years, one number seemed more appropriate.
Hence, 2.0.
the internet is barely at web 2.0, so I would tread lightly trying to step past it to 3.0 😉
welcome back wil!
Home again, home again….
Hurray!
/Drop kicks the site across the server.
Woot!
Glad to see you back here, Wil!
Boo-yah!
I have to admit, I totally copied the layout of wilwheaton.net back in the day to create craigsteffen.net. wwnd has now evolved twice since then, and craigsteffen.net three times, but I’m immensely please to be able to post here (and from my twitter account, even).
Thank you, thank you wil for not making your layout the type that makes you click on every frakking entry to see it in its entirety. I hate that design choice–I like being able to read all the entries all together.
Welcome back, sir. See you on the internets.

Welcome back!
Umm… this appears to be not accepting my WordPress login, I’ve had to use my G+ id.
Laughing at your avatar changing with every comment 🙂
Please feel free to remove the rest of this comment, as I’m not here to promote my work, merely offering a helping hand:
I’ve created a not shabby social sharing plugin; http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/social-sharing-toolkit/
If you like, I’d be happy to make a customized version to you specs
Great, so now I have to change the bookmark AGAIN after changing it to the exile site only a few years ago? Oh bother…
Welcome back!
Excellent. Bring the wit!
In all the time that you were in exile, I kept the page as my bookmark and then clicked through. I squee’d when I saw what was to occur. Things look very nice.
Good to be back, Wil. This will be glorious.
Kick the tires and light the fires, Wil. Looks like it’s working to me.
Yay, WWdN 2.0! Mostly looks good, although the pictures at the top seem to be quite pixelly.
Congratulations on the triumphant return to WWdN!!! I myself might be returning to my original url vortext.net at some point, I haven’t decided yet and I don’t own the URL right now, some redirect webhosting site has a page there. If you want to see my effed upness you can look it up in the Wayback Archive.
My current blog is http://vortexian.wordpress.com
Its always nice to see a good WordPress layout. If I don’t get my domain back I’m going to pay the 100$ a year for deluxe webhosting.
Oh wow has it really been six years? I suddenly feel old.
Welcome back!
Welcome home, Wil.
Time to open the web store and start selling “WWdN” brackets 🙂
Oops, meant bracelets…
Very cool. Gimme a shout if you need help with anything in particular. Glad to have you on WordPress! 🙂
otto at wordpress.org
Congrats on the successful move. It’s like exile was your estranged teenage years and you have now come back, after realizing that your parents weren’t idiots, to where you belong.
Welcome back. You’re officially back in my feed.
It’s back! Congrats on your hard work! I’m a web developer, and I have yet to make a website of my own because I know how much of a pain in the ass it is. 🙂
Huzzah!
Glad to see you up and running again! Have fun storming the castle!
Yay! Welcome back!
Huzzah!
Sweet! WWdN is back! On my birthday No less. Great birthday present from @wilw
I am totally not a dick. Welcome home, Wil! Look forward to hearing more about your life, loves, and career. 🙂
Good to have you back here again, Wil. I followed you In Exile, of course, but as we all know, there’s no place like home….
I seriously never thought we would see WWdN again! Welcome back!
Welcome back!!
Welcome home, Wil! I always hoped you’d come back to WWdN. The monkeys are very happy about your return!
This is me applying for moderation so in the future my robotic dickish comments sail right through. Ha HA!
Welcome to the Future! Glad to hear that you showed the computers you’re the boss. Keep those posts coming!
Welcome back to your old/new home! I have been following you from site to site since almost the beginning and have greatly enjoyed the journey. Keep on writing!
So glad!
Now that it is letting me log in (sorta) and comment: Welcome back, Wil! Amusingly, just about a week or two ago I removed WWdN from my bookmarks, seeing as you had been in Exile for so long. I figured you weren’t gonna come back. And then, bam! 😀
Wil, I started reading WWDN waaaaaay back in September, 2002, when I was surfing the net at SDSU one day before class. (Yes, that’s precisely 10 years ago.) I googled your name after wondering what you were up to, found WWDN, and was immediately hooked. It was amazing to be part of your Posse, and I loved your message boards (I still miss them!).
Welcome back!
Wilcome back, WWdN!
Welcome back, Wil. Good to see you @home again. I especially like being able to go back through your blogs, all the way to June 19, 2003. Raising a toast in your honor, in celebration (it’s Ayinger Brau-Weisse).
as requested am posting to be approved, I do not post much but once every 6 years or so I have something silly to say.
