From Wikislippy

groups.msn.com/Mississlippy (d. 2007) was an internet site hosted for free by Microsoft. It was not so much as a site as it was more than just a website. The site focused on user activity. Users could submit jokes, pictures, and more.

Creation

groups.msn.com/Mississlippy was not actually created by an official Mississlippy employee. The site was launched by Liliaku who helped launch the original Mississlippy.

Features

Some Mississlippy features were first used at groups.msn.com/Mississlippy. For example, the site had a message board. The Mississlippy message boardwhich is currently used was not introduced until April of 2008.

Takeover

In 2007, groups.msn.com/Mississlippy was acquired in a hostile takeover by Microsoft. Mississlippy claims that the takeover was so hostile that there was no notice prior to the takeover. After the takeover, the site was replaced with a [[[404 Error]] saying "Page Cannot Be Found." The employees at Mississlippy originally wanted to file legal action. However, they were too lazy and just decided to move on.
