that i'm on the fence with the "big, ur discord got pwnd" thred. because big is nice and i don't want to use that thread to make my point because of that. however, here's one that works well enough, and all i have to say is this: you see? it was an organic process, what zilty is. no one planned it; no one thought of it. i certainly didn't. afterwards, however, it was obvious: this is a beautiful accident that phobs, the fruit, tunemx, etc. went on and have a career and want to be CTO or some shit, the fire that drove them to build the place is there but otherwise occupied. most people would have just pulled the plug, esp. with the nightmare zilty can be, but... what's my metaphor here? shooting old yeller is not quite right, though there is probably some of that instead, i dunno, i think it's more like it simply feels like bad karma to knock down a tree that's been there for over a hundred years simply because it's in your way |

then the compromises required -- career, AND not pulling the plug on zilty -- result in executive decisions that, at the time, felt equal parts brilliant, fair, and brutal. like: sign-ups are shut-off because people were making dozens of dupe accounts, it was a disaster, and, again, instead of pulling the plug... "oh, fuck it, let's just disable sign-ups, maybe it'll die gently then" ...but it doesn't, and the place does back over 20 years, i've probably been rude to some idm superstar without even knowing it so, again. it was not planned. but i'd call zilty the venn diagram center between a locals' pub and an actively aging cask of scotch |

that, like, think of most boards like this that are either a) still about, or b) not. a) the ones still about have gone through a half-dozen re-designs and a name change (maybe they can be "GearChadz" next). because it's still a passion project b) the ones gone, it stopped being a passion project; it became a hassle. resolving disputes, fending off dupes, and fuck it. zilty be very, like, edge-of-the-fractal, in that, "fuck it" but "it's still about" and "i don't have time to fix search. most people would decide this is a good point to pull the plug, but instead i think i'll just disable search and not even announce anything" keep up the good work. that is not sarcasm |

> Dub turbo almost killed it i respectfully disagree. i remember it. my account is years older; but i effectively didn't really get into it until shortly before the dubturbo saga. i remember having a wonderful time piling on the bandwagon and mocking it the board's administration... well, no argument; no childishly banhammering people for mocking it. more like, "oh well, it was worth a shot, nevermind" and no hard feelings. since then it has become a beloved meme, arguably. and also, arguably, never earned dubturbo a dime throughout the whole arc very much in the same pattern of "this is not how message boards usually go. this was an accident. whatever; it works" |

It was a great joke at that time. Only remember the meme. Forgot about the story to be honest 😅 |
