Why the mirror?

The mirror

The mirror is a redundant copy of the Time thread on the xkcd fora. The posts and attachments and avatars and images are archived. It's more comfortable to read the real thread than the mirror. But sometimes you might prefer the mirror.

When is the mirror useful?

• The original thread doesn't work. You can still read and write from the mirror. Almost like from the real thread.
• When blitzing, you will see posts on old newpages. Some of them contain external images. They may no longer exist. On the mirror you can still see them.
