Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Editorial blog — coverage is a curated post, not a directory listing
- The old public submission form ('Submitterator' / suggest-a-link) was retired because human spam overwhelmed it
- Current realistic routes: email the editors at [email protected], or engage on the BBS community (bbs.boingboing.net)
- Advertising inquiries go to [email protected] — a separate paid channel
Prepare before opening the form
- A link genuinely interesting to BB's culture/tech/weird-news sensibility — they post 'anomalies, curiosities, and eyebrow-raisers', not launch announcements
- A short, descriptive note explaining what the link is and why it matters
- Your email and the URL you want credited
Workflow
- Draft a concise tip describing the link and why it fits Boing Boing
- Email [email protected] (editorial contact per the current contact page)
- Do not send follow-up reminder emails — historic guidance explicitly says not to
- Alternatively share in the BBS community where editors participate
Watch for
- Don't look for a submit form — it was killed by spam; only contact/BBS routes remain
- Historic guidance said email submissions were never posted when a form existed; the situation has now inverted to email-only — expectations should be modest
- Product-launch pitches are a poor fit; BB covers culture-worthy things, not standard SaaS launches
- No paid-placement-for-coverage route exists (ads are display advertising only)
