During Matt Mullenweg’s recent AMA on Reddit, he was asked by aaronjorbin: Of all the WordPress community memes, which one is your favorite? Matt (photomatt) replied: DerpPress is pretty funny, and some days I miss WP Wank. Recently I enjoyed #thingswpdailywouldpost and the response: torquemag.io/things-wpdaily-would-post.
