Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

With love,

don't make it user-controlled though, that can be exploited and encourages groupthink

have it determined by a perfect rational artificial intelligence algorithm

it would be nice if there were an actual requirements document for a migration to a modern codebase

i know there's a lot of cruft and old code around and all kinds of crazy hackish behavior, but a specific audit of those things would help people understand exactly what was needed, and what could be dropped/rewritten

like, i'm sure it would be a lot of work, and a lot of dealing with databases, load balancers, everything, but that requirements document isn't impossible

hey zdr back in the lf days there was some subforum of a subforum that went neglected and forgotten for years, i think it was a coupons subforum, and infrateal used it for months as some sort of insane dream-journal for months before anyone noticed. an admin came in and closed the forum but do those posts still exist or were they wiped out?

i once thought about writing a story based on someones forum posts, where you would see plot points evolve by what threads they were posting in ect, but then I never wrote it because i am a lazy gently caress and who the gently caress would want to read book full of forum posts anyway
