Bjarne is introduced: ”kjams everyone”
Stajl is rebuilt, everyone registers again and the mascot Bjarne appears: ”an apricot-coloured little blob”.
I drew Bjarne with a great inability to draw nicely. Maybe that's why everyone loved him.
- ”Stajl Plejs is run entirely as a non-profit, which means nobody is making loads of dosh from you surfing here.”
- StajlRadio broadcasts around the clock, live by the users on Saturday evenings.
- Bjarne: an 8-year-old tadpole figure from Krokom; his mates are called Fuffe, Barkis and Disco (FAQ).
- Lindstedt (Framtidslöftet 2025): Bjarne is ”a naively designed tadpole figure drawn by Eriksson himself”.
