This circumstance does remind me of pwndepot. There's definitely only room for 1 twiinking site. It's been a good 7 years on TI...Anyone around when TI launched while pwndepot was still active? There can be multiple sites but only one alpha site...
Wrong, I was there it was not nearly as huge as it is now. Your post doesn't sound "dystopic" as much as "meandering" and "speculation"...I wasn't forum active in the tinkering community when TI launched, so I wouldn't know. I'm confident people felt nostalgic about Pwndepot when TI happened though, too.
Genereally I'm guessing the community (and tinkering as a whole) is much more fragile and inactive now compared to when TI launched (which must've been somewhere around TBC?), which makes the domain and owner switch more problematic. WoW is dying. tinkering is dying. The tinkering community is dying. This sounds very dystopic but it's probably true.
It hasn't really gone up or down that much since then. Twiinking's always been a niche community.
Ye I remember you. 29, also still playing League, hmuYo Druiddroid we played together a bit in league. Interesting to see your tinkering too. I think bone told me you did at one point but I forgot until now. What bracket you playing?
