What about the fact that we thought that things we posted on the internet would always be there? It's not entirely true. There are things that really have been lost that you will never see again. Servers do get deleted. Maybe the NSA has records, but I doubt it.

I have no bad feels about this. When I look back over 15+ years, almost all the many places I frequented were objectively bad and I was too naive to realize it OR because of slim pickings I was giving bad places free passes for being terrible. Exposure and time have enlightened me. My only wish is that more of those places remaining would die.

Some things are better off dead.

It's dead now, been dead for almost four years. I miss the old days where everyone gave a shit, but it's honestly for the best that it's buried and stays buried.

If they didn't notice you were gone, and never got in touch, they obviously weren't very good friends to begin with.

Especially the last one. Absolutely crippling. I know it's irrational, but I miss not caring about my online footprint. And smaller forums. Everything these days feels to big, global and distant. Even NNTPchan is mostly passer-byes. I don't know how to describe it better, but it's not about attention. More about organization, I think. Like a city as opposed to a small village.

That's another thing. I don't feel safe using anything unless it's routed through Tor and doesn't require Javascript. Which means no rizon, for example.

Rankings went like this

>Trusted

>Moderator

>Operator

>Super operator

>Admin

And yeah donator, of course, how else are they gonna make money.

All the fucking kids with mum's credit card payed for donator eventually became mods as soon as I left.

Fucking ridiculous.

Anyway, after a while the amount of people promoted to operator, moderator and super operator was getting incredibly saturated. Moderators would complain that they don't have enough power so they would get power that the operators had. Meanwhile the admin and super ops would add new powers that only they could have. I was a moderator and I brought this up, but seeing as we had more moderators that operators, and even more super operators than operators, nothing was ever done and I was always shouted down.

My best friends were all operators before I banned half the server and myself, they had all left and what was left was a festering circle jerk of self righteous ten year olds and a bunch of apathetic admins.

What's great is that like 6 or so months later I got an unban appeal sent through that was mostly me shitposting heavily. I got unbanned in an 11:10 vote. Most no one wanted me there and I wasn't given back any power. After about 6 months of light shit flinging and arguing with the lefties and commies I got banned again by a Super OP that had a chip on his shoulder.

Fucking hated that place.

Spent four years of my life there though. Lots of laughs and good memories. Wish it didn't have to end but god damn there were some insufferable asshats.
