I'm getting too old for this shit.

Not gonna lie, I'd be pretty bummed out if this place decided to shut down. It's one of the few sites I visit every day, I enjoy the community, I've met some people here I can genuinely call friend, I can say what I want to say or joke around without worrying about being banned or having my personal life ruined. This place is one of the last bastions online you can truly call a community.

That said, I get where you're coming from. If you're not happy, Null, it shouldn't be your cross to bear to keep manning the controls if it's not fulfilling for you anymore. At the end of the day, you gotta do what's best for you. I'm sorry to hear things aren't what they could be for you, and I hope that can be remedied soon. For what it's worth from a relative newfag, I think most people here would understand any decision you come to, at the very least, most people like you and respect what you've done with the site. You gotta watch out for yourself though, whether it's just taking a hiatus from the site, deciding to close it or hand the reigns off to someone else, we understand. Hope things start getting better.
 
I've enjoyed my time here, and I do still believe in free speech.

That being said, do whats best for you, forums and imageboards come and go, and I could never imagine the burdan of hosting one.

Good luck and Godspeed.

By all means, keep digging this hole until it's too deep for you to ever climb out. After all, the mark of a true lolcow is his inability to take good advice.
 
Epic fix forum plan:
1. Rangeban USA
2. Rangeban British Isles
3. Done
The quality of the forum would probably improve if everyone had to use VPNs. It'd be a good way to filter the absolute mongoloids/poorfags. Speaking of which I have no excuse to not put mine on.

Harvey Weinstein. An unfortunately rotted genital jew, that Null worked for. He drew in that antisemitism from his pit of control evil.
Harvey destroys lives and careers.

Sad, but you all knew what you were getting into.

What the hell does any of that mean?
 
Roping in every user who left like that is very spiteful IMHO
How so?
Goddamn my only regret on this site was not shitposting some more. Oh well, if this site ass blasts itself into oblivion I will probably resume my studies full time and create my own Farms, with hookers and blackjack!
I like the way you think.

Null is unironically my hero because we're the same age, same education, similar upbringing. Hes traveled the world for work and pleasure, made a community, stands up for what he believes in, and runs his own company. I dont. I wish i had the balls to be Null.
 
I genuinely don't understand what people mean by "politics have invaded this site." Where? A&H? A board you can just avoid if you really hated political discussions that much? Most posts with jarring political views in them get neg-rated to shit anyway, regardless of the political leaning presented in the post. In the rare case that you do get someone sperging about that shit when the discussion didn't call for it, it takes two seconds for a mod to give a warning, and two seconds to give them a threadban if they continue. I also think that users need to learn to just ignore them instead of bitching about it and contributing to the thread derailing, which is in part a big reason why most users would sperg in the first place. They think it's funny and they love the negative attention. Other users are new and don't understand that this isn't a political site, so that would give them the memo that "this is not the place to discuss the jewish question." All else, people just need to stop being so sensitive and move on. One obvious shitpost does not hurt the integrity of a 300 page thread (like seriously, some of you faggots need to grow a god damn spine).

Oh, and congratulations on realizing that making babies is the only real purpose we have on this cold cruel earth. I wish you luck and hope you find an adequate partner to get with. Just make sure you get your financial situation in order first before you do so. That will make all the difference between being happy 10 years down the line and wanting to swallow lead. Do what you can to achieve that, but if you care about the site, don't completely abandon it. Get away from it for a while, but check up on it every now and then to make sure shit isn't complete chaos, or worse, oppressive.

End note, I'm still having fun with this site and want to continue having fun. There's nowhere else that I can say the same. Keep things going just the way they are and you're good.
 
Hello Null,

Sorry to power level but I am in much a similar position. I am attempting to balance the failing health of family members while trying to build businesses and wishing to have children. "The ties that bind" and all that.

Anyway, you have an advantage I do not. You can walk away. You can divide the load. Figure out a sacred cow that you may need to slaughter in order to get stability. (I wouldn't mind ads but you may not get anything worthwhile.)

I appreciate what you do on the farms. I truly do. Every other community seemingly went mad. This place is at least has some sanity to it.

I used to argue that people need to do the "honorable" thing because the only way the world works is if someone holds up ideals. But that path just leads you to winding up like Eddard Stark.

I hope you keep the place open.

Sincerely,
Garm
 
Null is unironically my hero because we're the same age, same education, similar upbringing. Hes traveled the world for work and pleasure, made a community, stands up for what he believes in, and runs his own company. I dont. I wish i had the balls to be Null.
Maybe he should sell the site to Notch as he's got the money to keep it running and to not give a single fuck about what people say about him.
 
I'm saying some users have been fucked over by Null, people who genuinely wanted to help him btw

Not all users left because of boredom, and Null calling them "not worth it" is disrespectful and heartless. I'm not saying he should care for every user, but all this moaning of wanting help yet pushing and screaming away the people that actually came to give him aid is what makes Null one of the worst admins I had the misfortune of learning about.
 
If the responses to my OP have done anything, it has proven to me beyond a shadow of a doubt the old users we've lost along the way weren't worth keeping.
Where's the gravedancing tho?

All I see are people saying they love the site, hate the political parts and support you doing whatever you wanna do.

I am genuinely curious about this.
