Ashes to Ashes, Blog to Blog: The IvyGate Year in ReviewHere we are, wrapping things up for the school year, and what more Ivy way to do it than with a big ol' dose of gazing lustily in the mirror? Here's three ways of measuring the year's top content.

I. COMMENTS As of this moment, we've written 572 items this year, and you've posted 5,751 comments -- almost exactly 10 per, a really outstanding number for which we are truly grateful. We want to thank the vast majority of you for keeping things lively, and in the interest of limping past the finish line without touching off a shitstorm, we'll leave unsaid our thoughts on the distinct minority that amplified the stereotypes of the Ivy League.

Without further ado, the Top 10 Most-Commented-Upon Items:

(God, we're a one-hit wonder band. Subtract Aleksey and you get these extras:)

II. TRAFFIC The most objective look at what people consumed most, according to Google Analytics.

(Wow, we're worse than Right Said Fred and The Knack put together. Subtract Aleksey and you get these extras:)

III. PERSONAL FAVES And then there's the items closest to our own shriveled, blog-black hearts. In reverse order of appearance:

Aaaand that should do it. Final notes: 1) We never got sued, WTF? (Knock on wood.) 2) You know that scene at the end of The Paper Chase where Timothy Bottoms realizes what it's all about and paper-airplanes his grades into the sea? This does not feel like that whatsoever. 3) If you're interested in reanimating our corpse, aka guest editing, get in touch.

    oogliboog: that’s it? you took the time to post *that*? oh yawn! trite, hackneyed, overused… whichever term you prefer. nine lines to make a lame unfunny joke.

    and why am i investing time to reply? because i’d like to stop you before you waste more of my life with your weak attempts at humor and your un-snarky comments.

    if you’re going to crack on a school, at least make it funny.
