Years ago I had been working on a new Insult code base that fixed some of my pet peeves about the system. When one of the servers died I lost the will to move forward. Of course, giving up leaves a void and even with Calliander’s fine improvements my pet peeves still remain and my interest is still not there.
My desire to have that void refilled is getting slowly stronger, though probably not strong enough for me to do a fucking thing about it.
Writing a base system for what these days gets termed as a social network (like it or not) is more than just thankless. Every change made to the system may improve the experience for 98% of people but that 2% that hates the change are majority of people that discuss the change. I respect that and accept that. So I do nothing.
In the decade since the site was built, I’ve learned a lot about the world and the internet. Too much really. Understanding the true cost of building a system out is not a realization I wish on anyone.
But at least this site is about friends… the core value is nothing more than building a realm for friends to vent and bitch.
And so now I get to that wonderful point of a post where I no longer have any idea what my original point was. Shame on you if you are still reading.
