What Ptah did was really shitty. I invested a fuckton into content on that site, like a lot of us did. While he held the keys to the fish tank, it's the fish that add value (and shit I suppose, but that's part of the deal of operating a fish tank; I may have tortured this fish tank metaphor a bit too much).

^This of course was assuming that he had actually pulled the plug, but Ptah has said that the site was attacked and he took the server offline as a defensive measure.



Regarding INTPcomplex getting back up, I have mixed feelings about that. It's great to see the content back (except of course the fucking supermarket fantasies that I now have to interpret again) and to see familiar names posting once more. But it has also been fun to think about trying something new here, and about what features might work or not work, how to structure the forums, how to apply moderation, etc.

I'm more than happy to keep this place up and running, but overall I'm not sure we should try to "compete" with INTPcomplex, which may just split a small community into smaller fragments ... especially given that Ptah has said that the site was attacked (rather than him throwing away the key).

Maybe we could consider this as a "sand-box" project and focus on the meta aspect, of trying new things here, new features, new forum structures, etc., perhaps like specing out our own lifeboat, but if members prefer to use this space as their primary venue, technically speaking I'm happy to facilitate :geek: ... I just think that most people will prefer to stay where they and the old content are and it will be difficult to reach critical mass.

So yeah, mixed feelings.

I find it extremely hard to believe that there was any attack on Ptah's server, and I don't think we can be confident he'll keep it up. Maybe until the next time he decides to do something, people hate it, and he gets offended. You can give him the benefit of the doubt if you want, I think abandoning that ship is the smarter move. Lots of things were wrong before the site went down, and a lot of people already left because of those things.

Either way you have my support if you're gonna keep this going. Let's spec out the lifeboat, and above all remain committed to the nautical analogies.

I'm soooo happy you say that, I'm weirdly really happy with it too and was wondering was it just me.

Because it's like the four letters kinda meld to form one entity, and the I and T are to the fore and super clear in the light profile but the N and P in the background pop more in the darkness profile, and the colour scheme works really well in both profiles, and it's simple and clean and there's something that feels formal and familiar about it but ... I dunno, probably a professional graphic designer be like, bitch please, but I'm happy you say that!

Sitka is syntagmatic, maybe?

Love how easy it is to dump images into posts.
