it was a good run, everyone

Anyways I think it’s the lack of content that brought about the slow disintegration of spame, since no one new ever comes in. I would have been willing to spend some time on a group project but I never had a good idea for what that would be. Is this place worth the effort to try to preserve?

yes, i think it is

i have a few cool ideas that i just dont seem to have the energy to complete. daniel and i enjoyed doing the podcast, but he had to finish his doctorate (what a loser) so we put it on hold

overall, the problem with this forum is a few things:

1) it has no anchor, like explosm.net
2) it has no no blood, partly due to having no anchor
3) the community in general has been reduced to low effort zingers and slapfights
4) the community in general does not have the energy it thinks it does to support itself

when daniel and i mentioned we were starting a podcast, the thing i asked for everyone to do was just SUPPORT it. listen, comment, etc. alienator my man is probably one of the few (john also) who actually did this... its what we need, to have comments and so on to keep us going
