in thread Terminal decline?

Your 2¢ would have been modded off-topic and closed on SO, you know… For all its pleasant, if buggy and sometimes awful (centenarians are not allowed; markdown is actually a terrible markup; leaving a page without pressing enter used to submit comments automatically; downvoting comments should be allowed), API it is the most joyless, chalkboard scratching forum I have ever seen; its culture is dreadful and aggressively, dogmatically uncreative. 90% of the good Perl answers there are from three locals and monks who participate in both.

The good parts of its API could be adopted here and even improved. I’m on board as a dev if that choice is made.

    Can you be specific? Maybe it could happen.

    I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

      Strangely enough, I implemented a couple of them recently for myself. :P They are not ready for prime time but I was going to post the code to run them for others. I’ll flag you when I do. It’s Ajax voting, (certain) page loads to “bypass” the POST thing in the frontend, and chat box; based on tobyink’s CSS/layout stuff.

        OK. So by "API" did you mean "UI"?

    You know they have a "meta" sections just like pmdscuss

    its culture is dreadful and aggressively, dogmatically uncreative.

    Its amazing how its blind leading the blind -- have a question about the guidelines/rules? good luck finding the answer

    You can see members in the top %1 percent, users for many years, logs in every day , have editor powers... but don't understand the stated purpose of comments

    more interested in aggressive pedantry and browbeating and the one true answer
