You are absolutely correct, unfortunately. I've been going through things and it looks bleak.
I know it doesn't mean much at this point but I'm sorry. Sparky has been let go and I am the new admin.

I would be happy to unban people but it might be seen at best as a token gesture, and one done out of less than admirable intentions. If that's something the community wants though I'm happy to do it.

My focus is going to be rebuilding what was destroyed. If you have any thoughts or ideas on what that looks like for you please feel free to let me know.
Sadly, I think the damage has been done.
 
I agree. I'm more interested in making things right if I can than anything else.
It took decades to build the community that was here, and a week to destroy it. I have no idea how one would rebuild (make things right) what was lost.
 
And it saddens me. I was once a very active member here and made some good friends. Yes we trolled each other, but we also supported each other and helped new members/aspiring PE's prep for their exams.

Like I said, I'm just making things right. I think if anything positive results from any actions taken it will take time.

I very much understand and acknowledge your feelings on this.

You can try to make things right, but you will never regain the trust that was lost.

I mean, yeah. It's unfortunate. I acknowledge the magnitude of what happened.

If the board can be restored, great, that would be amazing. I'm totally down for that. If anyone wants to help with that, freaking fantastic. I'm not going to be able to do anything alone. Kind of defeats the point of community even if I could.

I am doing what I can alone as I right a wrong. Outside of that, I am dependant on you all. Thats how community works.

Most of us migrated to another platform that's got better mobile support.

Honestly don't know how I managed to dodge the ban, although my mod powers were removed (don't want them back)
 
What I miss?

An eight poster who hasnt posted since 2020 wants to know what they missed?

Man. So much. Did you hear about COVID? That ended.

Joe Biden was elected president of the US.

A container ship blocked the Suez Canal.

There was the Tokyo Olympics.

Man, there was just so much stuff and all that is just form the beginning of 2021. You'd do better to google "What happened 2020 till today" but man. You are going to get upset. I'm sorry. I know that's not what you want to hear. Maybe focus on talking out the changes in your coma recovery support group?
 
This post gave a surprising amount of insight.

Not a great time to wake up if I'm being honest.

To answer your question though, there was some unpleasantness, an admin overreacted, and I'm here to fix things as much as possible.

If you're interested you can scroll through my profile and see what's been done and if you have any thoughts on getting this ship right please let me know.
