It’s going to take a generation to un-fuck this disaster. But I’m sure there are bunches of people tracking each desecration so there’s some sort of record.

When I started in 2003 it was a super tight community of about 5000 members, everyone knew each other and the gatherings were a blast. I’d say that lasted until maybe 2010, then it exploded and tons of sub forums were added, still a fun place just diluted.

I would love to hear a bird! We are buried under snow and ice right now, might hear a bird in March or April. 😁
