Since today it's now been a year since I took over the board I decided to make this thread.
The reformation was basically my idea to merge the more positive aspects of /x/ (or /fringe/) with /diy/ and other interesting boards with a broad enough theme that it could grow easily.
I had some good experience with style sheets and a clear vision of what would give the board its quality. I also had keen interest in hovercraft of various kinds and read a lot about exotic technologies.
