A mysterious board of editors first published The Bunion (then called The Bonion) on ARPANET, an ancestor of the Internet, in 1969. The news site failed to become popular until the Internet became a worldwide phenomenon in the late 1990s, at which point it was renamed The Bunion, so as not to appear to have misspelled its own name.
Unfortunately, a failure within The Bunion‘s servers in 2007 caused the site to shut down, completely destroying 38 years’ worth of archives. A St. Bonaventure senior took on the project and created the second edition of The Bunion in 2008 to widespread cheer and acclaim. To this day, The Bunion prides itself on phenomenal reporting and being St. Bonaventure University’s least reliable news source.
LEGAL MATTERS | The Bunion reports on a variety of St. Bonaventure University’s events but is in no way a university entity. It is simply the humor-based capstone project of a senior journalism major (you can contact this mysterious person via the “Contact Us” button at the top). The Bunion is a satirical publication updated whenever the hell we feel like it, which is usually daily. The contents of this material are © Copyright 2008 by The Bunion and may not be reprinted or re-transmitted in whole or in part without the express written consent of the publisher. The Bunion is intended for readers 18 years and older.
The Bunion uses invented names in all its stories, except in cases where public and university figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental.
DISCLAIMER | The writers of The Bunion ask that readers have a sense of humor and understand The Bunion is meant for entertainment and humor only, and not to defame or libel its subjects.
