You know how people used to put pictures of their loved ones in a locket, or in their wallets, or as a background pic on their phones? That's what they were supposed to be. (As told by a catholic friend)

JSON5 is seriously what I feel JSON should've been. Comments, trailing commas, hex numbers, etc.

Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here's everyone that upvoted this thread.

Huh. Turns out I had to clear cookies and site data, and now old is working again.

I've not logged in for a couple of weeks. Is old. deprecated now? Or is the fact that it won't load any comments part of the corruption issue?
